The IFM CR2050 is a 16-input ioControl module designed for decentralized sensor connection in mobile machines. Its configurable inputs support digital, analogue, frequency and resistance measurement functions. The module includes two CAN interfaces and can also operate as an intelligent programmable I/O device. CODESYS 2.3 programming and IEC 61131-3 functionality provide flexibility for mobile automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The CR2050 provides 16 configurable inputs for connecting sensors and switches. Eight channels can support analogue, digital and related multifunctional input modes. Four additional channels support digital and resistance functions, while frequency measurement is also available. Analogue inputs can accept voltage and current signals. This allows the module to interface with a wide range of sensors without requiring separate signal converters.
The analogue channels support 0...10 V, 0...32 V, 0...20 mA and ratiometric measurement modes. The 12-bit input resolution provides detailed signal measurement for machine automation. Frequency inputs can be used for pulse and rotational-speed-related measurements up to 30 kHz depending on configuration. Resistance inputs support a range of approximately 0.016...30 kΩ. These functions make the CR2050 suitable for advanced sensor monitoring.
Two CAN interfaces provide communication with the central controller and other network devices. CANopen, SAE J1939 and free-protocol communication options are supported. Built-in monitoring includes undervoltage monitoring, watchdog functionality, checksum testing and excess-temperature monitoring. A multi-segment display and LEDs provide local diagnostic information. The rugged module is designed for operation from -40...85 °C.
