Product description:

AS-Interface is a worldwide standard for the cost-effective transfer of power and signals along a single cable. The master with gateway-function controls the AS-Interface system and transmits process data to all types of higher-level control in a standardized I/O map. All diagnostic information from the field I/O and the safety system can be transmitted to a higher level control system. These ensure high availability of fieldbus in the factory automation system.

  • Minimized installation costs and connection via insulation piercing technology
  • Topology-free installation
  • Supply, safe and non-safe signals on one cable
  • Safety function up to PLe/SIL 3
  • Extensive diagnostic function
  • Automatic addressing when a device is replaced
  • Flexible system extensions
  • Compatible with all fieldbuses and PLCs

 

Gateways are modules that form an interface between the AS-Interface and higher-level buses. Gateways can be installed to provide a solution for complex applications using standard products. The gateways act as a slave for the higher-level bus. There are various AS-Interfaces gateway options with remarkable benefits selectable based on applications:

  • connection to PROFINET IO or PROFIBUS DP
  • Ethernet or RS 232 diagnosis interface
  • AS-Interface noise detection
  • duplicate addressing detection
  • earth fault detection
  • dual AS-Interface networks
  • integrated data decoupling
  • integrated webserver
  • compact stainless steel housing
  • fault diagnosis via LEDs and graphic display
