AS-i Control - AS-i Master
 


1 or 2 AS-i Masters

With Mini-PLC "AS-i Control"

RS 232C, RS 485 or
RS 422 interface

Advanced AS-i diagnostics






Function
The AS-i Masters with serial interface and with Mini-PLC serve to control an AS-i circuit as a stand-alone device or can be connected to a host via the serial interface. All AS-i functions can be called via the serial interface. The AS-i data can be transmitted by using the B+W Protocol with a high transfer rate. With a rate of 57600 Baud short cycle times for the data exchange via the serial interface can be realized. There are AS-i Masters without mini-PLC on offer as well.

AS-i Specification 2.1
The AS-i Masters already fulfil the AS-i Specification 2.1. This means: The AS-i Masters according to AS-i Specification 2.0 are still available.

Advanced Diagnostics
Diagnostics, which go far beyond the standard diagnostics facilitate the simple detection of the occassionally occuring configuration errors and further irritations towards the AS-i communication. So in case of an error the down time of machines can be minimized or you can initiate preventive maintenance.

Two sorts of housing
The devices can be delivered in a housing for cabinet mounting or in a field housing in IP65.
The gateways for cabinet mounting can be chosen to link one or two AS-i networks to the host.
The handling of AS-i Control in IP65 is identically with AS-i Control in IP20 with RS 485 interface. The high protection category IP65 makes the device suitable for applications in the extreme industrial environments frequently encountered in the field. AS-i is connected using the penetration technique of EMS (Electromechanical Interface). RS 485 is connected with heavy gauge terminals and cage clamp terminal blocks.

Commissioning
The AS-i Masters with serial interface can be commissioned respectively programmed with the help of the software "AS-i Control Tools".
Commissioning, debugging and setting up of the AS-i parameters can be accomplished without software just with the use of two push-buttons, the display and the LEDs directly at the device.
