The KEBA AF455/A is an analog control module used with the Kemro K2-400 automation platform. It is associated with injection molding machine control and is designed to process analog signals used by the machine controller. Current industrial listings identify the AF455/A with KEBA Kemro K2-400 systems, including versions marked 059771 and different hardware revisions.
In an injection molding machine, analog signals are commonly involved in monitoring and regulating variables such as pressure, position, speed, and hydraulic or servo control values. The exact channel assignment and electrical ranges depend on the machine configuration and the specific AF455/A hardware revision.
Main Function
The AF455/A provides analog signal processing between the Kemro K2-400 controller and field devices. It can form part of the closed-loop control architecture used for injection, pressure, position, and other machine-control functions.
KEBA’s current I/O product documentation also emphasizes configurable analog voltage/current processing, differential measurement, high-resolution acquisition, and diagnostics as important characteristics of KEBA analog I/O technology.

Installation & Configuration
Before replacing the card, verify the complete AF455/A identification and compare the hardware revision with the existing module. Some available units are specifically identified as 059771 Rev.10 or Rev.11, so revision matching matters when replacing a working machine-control module.
Recommended procedure:
- Shut down the injection molding machine and isolate power.
- Record the original module identification and revision.
- Photograph all wiring and terminal positions.
- Check the K2-400 rack/backplane connection.
- Install the replacement module carefully.
- Reconnect field wiring according to the original configuration.
- Verify analog input/output scaling.
- Check sensor and actuator signal ranges.
- Start the controller and check diagnostics.
- Confirm pressure, position, and speed feedback.
- Perform a controlled machine cycle.
- Record the final configuration.
Compatibility Notes
The AF455/A should be matched by model, hardware revision, part number, and machine application. Do not assume that another KEBA analog module is a direct replacement simply because it belongs to the K2-400 family.
There are other K2-400 analog modules, such as the AM450/A 054240, which is separately identified as an analog I/O module. Therefore, the exact module designation should be checked before procurement.
