Frequently Asked Questions - AC2559 IFM

How to address the AC2559 module?

Addressing is done via the AC1144 addressing unit or by infrared. Assign a free address between 1 and 31. At delivery, the address is 0.

What to do if the red FAULT LED is on?

The red LED on indicates an AS-i communication error (e.g., address 0). If it flashes, it signals a peripheral fault (overload or short circuit). Check the power supply and connections.

What is the maximum number of modules per master?

The maximum number is 31 modules per AS-i master.

How to wire sensors and actuators?

Connect the connectors to M12 ports. For power, pin 1 (L+), pin 3 (L-), pin 4 (output), pin 5 (functional earth). Use AC3004 caps on unused ports to maintain IP67.

Can infrared addressing be used with any base?

No, infrared addressing requires the AC5011 base with integrated addressing port. For the AC5003 base, you must address the module before mounting via the AC1144 unit.

What do the yellow LEDs mean?

The 8 yellow LEDs indicate the status of inputs/outputs: on when the corresponding channel is switched.

How to protect the module if some ports are not used?

Cover the unused M12 ports with AC3004 caps to ensure IP67 protection.

What tightening torque for mounting on the base?

The recommended tightening torque is 0.8 Nm.

Does the module report faults to the AS-i master?

Yes, in version AS-i 2.1, overloads and short circuits are reported via the internal 'peripheral fault' bit in the status register.

Where to download the full manual?

Technical data

You can download the data sheet from the Internet if required (www.ifm.com).

Electrical connection

Connect the plugs of the sensors / actuators to the M12 sockets. Cover the sockets not used with the protective caps (AC3004) to guarantee protection rating IP67.

Addressing

Assign a free address between 1 and 31. At the factory the address is set to 0.

Addressing with the addressing unit AC1144

Do not remove the addressing plug while live.

If the mounted and wired module is used with the FC-E lower part AC5011 (with addressing socket), it can be addressed via the addressing cable (E70213).

If it is used with the FC-E lower part AC5003 (without addressing socket) the module must first be addressed via the addressing unit AC1144 and then mounted onto the lower part.

Infrared addressing

The AS-i module also offers the option of infrared addressing with the addressing unit AC1144.

The AS-i communication (yellow cable) must be switched off during the infrared addressing. To do so, disconnect the master.

Supply the slaves with voltage via the AS-i power supply. Addressing is carried out via the IR addressing cable E70211.

When the ifm AS-i power supplies SL are used the communication can be deactivated via a plug on the power supply.

Operation

Check the safe functioning of the unit. Display by LEDs:

• LED 1 yellow: input/output switched
• LED green: voltage supply o.k.
- LED 2 red is lit: AS-i communication error, slave does not participate in the “normal” data exchange, e. g. slave address 0
- LED 2 red flashing: periphery fault, e.g. sensor supply / over load or short circuit of the output
• LED 3: infrared receiver

Overload and short circuit of the input/output are signalled to the AS-i master (version 2.1) via the "periphery fault" flag in the status register.
