The IFM CR403S is a compact programmable controller designed for mobile machines and demanding automation applications. The ecomatBasic/24 controller provides 12 inputs and 12 outputs with multifunctional input and PWM output capabilities. It supports CODESYS 3.5 and IEC 61131-3 programming, along with CANopen and SAE J1939 communication. Its 32-bit triple-core architecture, IP20 housing and -40 to +85 °C operating range make it suitable for robust mobile-machine control systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The CR403S is designed for machines where compact dimensions and flexible I/O functionality are important. Its 24 total I/O channels allow multiple sensors, actuators and machine functions to be connected to one controller.
The controller includes frequency, resistor, digital and analogue input functions. Frequency inputs support signals up to 30 kHz, while multifunctional analogue inputs can handle voltage and current signals. This flexibility allows the controller to interface with a wide range of machine sensors.
The CR403S provides configurable digital and PWM outputs with output frequencies up to 2 kHz. Different output groups support 1 A, 2.5 A and 4 A switching levels, making the controller suitable for controlling valves, actuators and other electrical loads.
The controller supports CODESYS 3.5 and PLC programming according to IEC 61131-3. Two CAN interfaces support CANopen and SAE J1939 protocols for communication with other controllers and mobile-machine components.
