IFM AC5003 is a lower part for AS-Interface modules intended for systems using AS-i communication with an auxiliary 24 V supply arrangement. It provides the mechanical and electrical base required for compatible module upper parts. The design supports flat-cable installation and distributed field I/O architecture. AC5003 is suitable for automation systems where external 24 V DC power is required for connected field devices. Its modular construction simplifies installation, replacement and servicing.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
AC5003 is designed for configurations using AS-i together with an external 24 V DC supply. This makes it useful where connected sensors or actuators require additional available power. The architecture separates AS-i communication from auxiliary power distribution. This can improve flexibility when designing distributed automation systems. It is especially useful for modules with higher connected-load requirements.
The flat-cable design supports fast installation in industrial automation environments. The module base can be combined with compatible upper modules to create a complete field I/O assembly. Proper cable positioning and sealing help maintain the specified protection rating. The modular design also allows easier replacement of the electronics without redesigning the complete field connection. This makes AC5003 useful in machine-building and production-line applications.
