The IFM CR2042 is a compact ioControl I/O module providing 8 inputs and 8 outputs for mobile-machine applications. Its configurable channels support digital, analogue, frequency and resistor input functions together with digital and PWM output control. Two CAN interfaces provide communication with controllers and other mobile-machine devices. The module is designed for decentralized signal acquisition and actuator control in demanding environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The CR2042 provides eight configurable input channels for connecting a variety of machine sensors. Inputs can be configured for digital, analogue, frequency or resistance measurement. Analogue channels support voltage, current and ratiometric measurement functions. Frequency inputs can be used for pulse and speed-related measurement applications. Resistance measurement allows connection of suitable resistive sensors. This multifunctional architecture reduces the need for separate input modules.
Eight output channels provide digital and PWM functionality for actuator control. PWM outputs can be used for proportional control of suitable loads. Output diagnostics help monitor the electrical condition of connected loads. The combination of input and output channels allows the module to acquire sensor data and control actuators from one location. This makes it suitable for decentralized control architectures. The module can be integrated with hydraulic, electrical and mechanical machine systems.
The CR2042 includes two CAN interfaces for communication with the mobile-machine controller. CANopen and SAE J1939 protocols support integration into established vehicle communication networks. The module uses a rugged housing suitable for mobile applications. IP65/IP67 protection helps protect against dust and water when connectors are properly installed. Its -40...85 °C temperature range allows operation under demanding field conditions.
