AS-Interface Modules: Connection Flexibility at Field and Cabinet Levels

The Key Link Between Sensors, Actuators, and the ASi Network

AS-Interface Modules play a crucial role in automation, establishing a direct connection between actuators and sensors on one side and the AS-Interface bus on the other. These specialized modules come in various configurations to meet every requirement—from installation within control cabinets to decentralized deployment directly in field applications.

Core Module Advantages:

• Versatility: Capability to transmit a large number of I/O signals (up to 1000 depending on the type), enhancing automation efficiency and functionality.

• Installation Optimization: Decentralized mounting allows for shorter cable runs to sensors, speeding up installation and diagnostics.

• Minimal Footprint: The G10 Series are the world's smallest AS-Interface modules with IP68/IP69K protection, ideal for limited space.

Application Industries and Examples

• Logistics and Conveyor Systems: Utilizing G20 Motor Control Modules for direct and easy control of 24V motor rollers, simplifying the construction of modular conveyor segments and Zero Pressure Accumulation (ZPA) logic.

• Machinery and Automation: KE Series modules for control cabinet installation featuring color-coded terminals, and G16 Series (M8 connectors) for compact robotics and handling systems.

• Food and Pharmaceutical Industry: Rugged G11 Series modules with an innovative sealing concept and IP68/IP69k protection (without molded components) withstand high-pressure washdowns and steam cleaning.
