Functions and features
• The AS-i DeviceNet controller integrates 1 or 2 AS-i masters, a mini
controller and a group 2 Only DeviceNet slave interface to ODVA
specification (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association)
• it controls the data exchange to the sensor/actuator level
• it processes the peripheral data in the integrated processor (signal
preprocessing)
• it works as stand-alone controller with data exchange to the PC
(visualisation)
• it is monitored by a watchdog
• it communicates with the higher-level control system (in the gate-
way mode)
• it supports the following operating modes according to the specifi-
cations: Cyclic polling, Bit strobe, Change of state and Cycle.
It is configured via explicit messages.
Mounting
Mount the controller onto a 35mm rail. The unit has protection IP20,
therefore it should be mounted in a protected place (e.g. switching
cabinet).
Electrical connection
Disconnect power. Connect the unit according to the terminal
marking. Never connect the minus potentials to each other or
the minus potentials and the PE connection.
Ensure an electrically safe ground connection between the AS-i
controller (PE terminal) and the ground connection of the unit.
After application of the supply voltage all the LEDs and the LED display
are switched on (LED test); then the version numbers of the hardware
and the software are displayed for 1s each on the LED display.
