Accessories for Putting AS-i into Operation and Test Tools
The AS-i circuit on the AS-i/Profibus Gateway can be put into operation with the com-
fortable Windows software AS-i Control Tools. This software communicates with the
AS-i/Profibus Gateway by means of the Profibus converter, which converts the
RS232-signals of the PC to Profibus.
The Profibus DP Master Simulator is recommended for testing the gateway. With the
Profibus DP Master Simulator the AS-i/Profibus Gateway can be put into operation
with or without GSD-file. The user parameter string that is needed for advanced mode
or professional mode can be edited and tested. The Profibus DP Master Simulator
can also be used as a Profibus converter. Furthermore the Profibus DP Master Sim-
ulator can be used for putting any Profibus-DP slave into operation which is very use-
ful for diagnostic purposes.
