Features
The IE/AS-INTERFACE LINK PN IO is a PROFINET device (complying with IEC
61158) and AS-Interface master (complying with the AS-Interface specification
V3.0 according to EN 50 295) and allows transparent data access to the
AS-Interface from PROFINET IO.
PROFINET IO controllers can exchange IO data cyclically with the lower-level
AS-Interface slaves. Acyclic services can also be used for AS-i calls (parameters,
diagnostics).
Apart from the digital I/O data, analog data is also stored quickly in the cyclic I/O
area of an
SIMATIC S7 CPU
(no separate communication block call necessary).
The IE/AS-i LINK is available as a single or double master
(applications with large numbers of slaves
−
> doubles the configuration limits).
The complete underlying AS-i line can be configured on an integrated operator
display in the IE/AS-i LINK (for example addressing the AS-i slaves, I/O test of all
digital and analog slaves).
During operation, you have detailed diagnostic information available on the display
allowing a fault to be localized immediately, when necessary.
The essential features are as follows:
S
Single and double AS-Interface master (complying with AS-Interface
specification V3.0) for the connection of 62 AS-Interface slaves per master and
integrated analog value transfer
S
Support of the real-time function (RT) of PROFINET IO
S
Integrated ground fault monitoring for the AS-Interface cable
S
Convenient diagnostics and commissioning on site using full graphics display or
over Web interface with standard browser
S
Configuration with STEP 7 or integration using the PROFINET type file
(GSDML file)
S
Vertical integration (standard Web interface) over Industrial Ethernet
S
Power supply from the AS-Interface cable (line 1), therefore no extra power
supply necessary. As an alternative, a 24 V DC power supply can be used.
S
Module replacement without PG by using C-PLUG
