AS-Interface

PCC offers SIEMENS and WOODHEAD AS-Interface solutions. The Actuator-Sensor-Interface is an open, non-proprietary bus system. Actuators and sensors are connected to programmable logic controllers using a non-shielded 2-wire cable – data and power are simultaneously transferred.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Minimum wiring and cost savings – one instead of one thousand cables
  • Quickly assembled, easy to maintain – thanks to piercing technology
  • Unlimited freedom without control cabinets – thanks to the I/O module system
  • Easy and fast configuration – in only two steps
  • Integrated safety technology: ASIsafe – enables direct integration of fail-safe components
Siemens
 
The ASIsafe concept (AS-Interface Safety at Work) allows safety-related components to be integrated into an AS-Interface network. The effective, reliable diagnostics ensures the highest degree of availa- bility of machines and equipment.
The AS-Interface master establishes the connection to higher-level control systems. It automatically and independently organizes data transfer along the AS- Interface cable and provides the sensor and actuator signals at an interface.

Slaves include the AS-Interface electronics and the possibility of connecting sensors and actuators in the field as well as in the electrical cabinet. Up to 62 slaves can be connected to a bus. The slaves then cyclically exchange their data with the master.

AS-Interface power supplies are an integral compo- nent of the AS-Interface network. They generate a regulated 30V DC with a high degree of stability and low residual ripple. They are used to supply the electronics of the AS-i network – i.e. AS-i modules and the master as well as the connected sensors.
A comprehensive range of accessories supports the installation of an AS-Interface network as well as individual components. The use of AS-Interface is made simpler and extended – and infrastructure costs are reduced.
An AS-i network can be simply configured and diagnosed thanks to the extensive software tools. This means that you always have a simple, reliable and fast overview of your AS-i network.
