IFM AC3226 is a SmartL25 AS-Interface repeater designed to extend AS-i network segments in industrial automation systems. It helps maintain reliable communication when an AS-i network needs to cover distances beyond the normal segment length. The repeater provides galvanic separation between network segments and supports independent segment power arrangements. Its DIN-rail-mounted housing is designed for control cabinet installation. AC3226 is suitable for large machines, distributed production lines and extended AS-i installations.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
AC3226 is designed to extend AS-Interface network infrastructure beyond a single standard segment. This makes it useful where automation devices are distributed over larger machines or production areas. The repeater helps maintain communication between network sections while allowing the system architecture to be expanded. It can reduce the need for redesigning an existing network when additional distance is required. This provides greater flexibility for industrial system integration.
The repeater provides galvanic separation between AS-i network segments. Independent segment power arrangements can improve flexibility in larger installations. This architecture can help manage voltage drop and power distribution across extended network layouts. It is particularly useful where multiple AS-i segments are physically separated. Proper installation should follow the manufacturer's wiring and network design requirements.
AC3226 uses a SmartL25 housing intended for control cabinet installation. The available IFM documentation specifies DIN-rail mounting and a compact 25.4 mm-wide housing. Diagnostic LEDs provide visual information about network operation. The unit is designed for industrial temperature conditions and includes plug-in connection technology.
