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
