AS Interface - Design
Table of calculated line length of the control head versions:
When designing the system, consider the length of the round cable leading directly to the control head (see fol-
lowing table and example calculation).
Model
Calculated line length
(including internal cabling)
Multi-pole (cable 8 cm)
0.3 m
Multi-pole (cable 80 cm)
1.0 m
Example:
for multi-pole connection with 8 cm cable:
When using 62 control heads, the AS interface cable harness may still be (100 m - 62 * 0.3 m) = 81.4 m long.
If the calculated line length of 100 m were to be exceeded, a commercially available AS interface repeater may be
used, as needed.
Observe maximum power supply via certified AS interface power supply units
≤
8 A!
For details see AS interface specification.
Observe the optional design "AS Interface with External Power Supply" to reduce the load on the AS interface
bus segment! (see Chapters "11.4" and "11.7")
Use cables according to the AS interface specification.
If other cables are used, the maximum cable length will change.
11.4. Electrical data
Comments / notes:
Outputs (from master perspective):
0 to 3 solenoid valves
Inputs (from master perspective):
3 binary feedback signals and 1 external initiator
Watchdog:
If bus communication fails for more than 50 to 100 ms, the
outputs are set to 0

The control head IntelliTop 2.0 was developed according to the Complete Specification (V.3.0) and the Profile
S-7.A.E and S-7.F.F of the AS International Association.
