Function
The AS-i/CANopen-Gateway serves to connect the AS-i to a superordinate CANopen. The Gateway acts as a complete Master for the AS-i and as a slave for the CANopen.

AS-i Specification 2.1
The AS-i/CANopen-Gateway Gateways already fulfil the AS-i Specification 2.1. This means: AS-i Scope Function
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.

Commissioning and Monitoring
The AS-i/CANopen Gateways can be commissioned with the help of the software "AS-i Control Tools" in combination with the CANopen Master Simulator. The EDS file is included in the package.
Commissioning, debugging and setting up of the AS-i parameters without the software can only be accomplished with the use of two push-buttons, the display and the LEDs directly on the system.

Gateways with Graphical Display
The AS-i Gateways with Graphical Display are a high-end solution to link AS-i with a superior CANopen system.

Simple and Fast Commissioning
Using the AS-i Gateway with Graphical Display, the entire AS-i network can be commissioned and the connected periphery can be completely tested without CANopen Master. The new interactive graphic display also enables the user to complete all tasks which previously required the "AS-i Control Tools" software package. This allows for simpler and faster commissioning.

Addressing Unit within the AS-i Master
With the help of the new graphical display, the hand held unit is now obsolete. The slaves can now be easily addressed directly on the gateway. Slaves with extended address mode are detected automatically and are used only when allowed. This ensures that no two AS-i slaves with the same address will be on the same network.

Testing of Connected Periphery without Additional Test Tools
Once the AS-i is put into operation, the cabling and the connected sensors and actuators can be tested, inputs can be read and outputs can be set and even analog sensors and actuators can be checked just using the Gateway with Graphical Display.

On-board Diagnostics:

Configuration Fault, Periphery Fault
At a glance, the display shows the configuration faults (missing slave, additional slave detected, wrong slave type) as well as periphery faults, such as a short circuit at a sensor cable. This allows the user to get the proper information to solve the problem in the shortest amount of time.

Detection of Occasional Faults
A list of slaves, which have previously caused an error, is also available through the graphical display. This can be very helpful in solving problems.

Scope Functions shown on the Display
While strange phenomena can occur as the AS-i gets to its limits (e. g. cable length >100 m, EMC problems), the AS-i Gateway with Graphical Display has on-board diagnostic tools. With the help of the AS-i error counters the user can easily check the quality of AS-i communications. The user can then test the impact of any actions taken.
