Extension plug
■
Overview
AS-Interface extension plug:
Picture left: extension plug compact, picture right: extension plug plus
With the extension plug, it is possible to double the cable length
possible in an AS-Interface segment from 100 to 200 m.
Only one power supply unit is needed to supply power to the
slaves on the up to 200 m long segment.
The following versions of the extension plug are available:
• Extension plug Compact: a passive component that can be
connected directly to the AS-Interface shaped cable
• Extension plug plus: The Extension plug plus has an inte-
grated A/B slave that enables any undervoltage supply to be
signaled to the AS-Interface master. It has an M12 plug and
can be connected to the AS-Interface M12 feeder with degree
of protection IP67.
Design of an AS-Interface segment with an extension plug
With an AS-Interface segment with a cable length of more than
100 m and up to a maximum of 200 m, the extension plug is
installed in a radius of approx. ± 10 m at that point of the network
which is furthest from the power supply unit. The extension plug
is not allowed to be used in AS-Interface networks smaller than
100 m. As with all AS-Interface networks, any network structure
(line, tree, star) is possible when using the extension plug.
Only one extension plug is required per 200 m segment, even
with a tree or star structure.
Note:
With the compact extension plug and the M12 feeder
3RK1901-1NR10 (4 A), the AS-Interface shaped cable has to
be terminated using the cable terminating piece, see
"miscellaneous accessories", page 4/152.
The AS-Interface extension plug is not suitable for AS-i
Power24V networks.
