Product information
This system manual applies to the following Fuchs GmbH equipment:
The AS-i/Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor combines two devices in one
housing: an AS-i 3.0 EtherNet/IP Gateway and a Safety Monitor for 2 AS-i circuits.
The safety unit provides 4 inputs which can be defined as either EDM or as
START inputs.
The EtherNet/IP Gateway serves to connect AS-i systems to the superordinate
EtherNet/IP controller.
All possibilities offered by AS-i can be used via EtherNet/IP.
Commissioning, debugging and setting up of the AS-i parameters can be accom-
plished with the use of push-buttons, the display and the LEDs, but it can also be
handled via Ethernet TCP/IP or via the diagnostic interface.
AS-i 3.0 EtherNet/IP Gateway, 2 Master with duplicate
address' recognition and AS-i inspector, integrated
Safety Monitor (16 release circuits)
