The IFM CR2512 is a SmartModule I/O device designed for digital and analogue signal processing in R360 mobile-machine systems. It provides 4 digital inputs and 8 configurable outputs. The outputs can be configured for digital, PWM or current-controlled operation with integrated current measurement. CANopen communication enables connection to the main mobile-machine controller. Its screened metal housing and IP67 protection make it suitable for harsh operating conditions.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The CR2512 provides four digital input channels for positive-switching sensor signals. These inputs can also be used for functions such as node-ID offset selection. The module can acquire signals from switches and binary sensors located throughout the machine. By positioning the SmartModule close to the field devices, wiring complexity can be reduced. The input signals are transferred to the controller through the CANopen network. This makes the module suitable for decentralized machine architectures.
Eight output channels provide flexible control of machine actuators. Outputs can operate as digital high-side outputs, PWM channels or current-controlled outputs. Each output can handle up to 4 A, while the total output current is specified up to 12 A. Integrated current measurement provides useful diagnostic information for connected loads. PWM functionality supports proportional control applications. This makes the module especially useful for hydraulic valve and actuator control.
The CR2512 uses a closed and screened metal housing with flange mounting. Its IP67 protection rating provides protection against dust and water when correctly connected. The module operates from 10...32 V DC and supports an operating temperature range of -40...85 °C. CANopen communication supports baud rates from 20 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s. A two-colour LED provides operating and diagnostic status information.
