alternative to AB's expensive IFM's

[justshoot2125]

Looking for a cheapper alternative for Controlgix cards to AB's IFM. Mostly for 32 point cards and 16 point analog cards. Did lots of searching and have come up with blanks. Wondering if anyone here use or has experience with anything in particular. Thanks again

We have used some of the AB PointIO blocks in remote locations that have low density of IO.

You could also look at the FlexLogix line.

Wago makes some but i don't know how much price difference it would be.

I've used Wago equivalents in the past. They are cheaper, but not hugely so.

Buy the 1492 cable only

Don't buy the IFM Interface, just buy the cable with the I/O card header on one end, and flying leads on the other end.

Then, just land the flying leads on your own row of cheap terminals.

We actually prefer this as you don't have to coil up a fixed length of the IFM cable in the wire duct.
