AS-Interface
Introduction
System components
■
Overview
To implement communication, a system installation has the
following main components:
• Master interface modules for central control units such as
SIMATIC S7, ET 200/ET 200SP distributed peripherals, or net-
work transitions from PROFIBUS/PROFINET to AS-Interface
• Power supply units, if required in combination with a data
decoupling module for the power supply to the slaves
• AS-Interface shaped cables
• Network components such as repeaters and extension plugs
(cannot be used for AS-i Power24V)
• Modules for connection of standard sensors/actuators
• Actuators and sensors with integrated AS-i slave
• Secure modules for transferring safety-related data over
AS-Interface
• Addressing units for setting the slave addresses during com-
missioning

Topology
Line, star or tree structure
(same as electrical wiring)
Transmission medium
Unshielded two-wire cable (2 x 1.5 mm
2
)
for data and auxiliary power
Connection methods
Contacting of the AS-Interface cable
by insulation piercing method
Maximum cable length
• 100 m without repeater
• 200 m with extension plug
• 300 m with two repeaters in series connection
• 600 m with extension plugs and two repeaters
connected in parallel
Larger cable lengths are also possible
when additional repeaters are connected in
parallel
Maximum cycle time • 5 ms in maximum configuration with 31 standard
addresses
• 10 ms in maximum configuration with 62 A/B
addresses
• profile-specific for slaves with extended data, e.g.
analog slaves
Number of stations
per AS-Interface line
• Up to 62 Slaves (A/B technology)
• Integrated analog value transmission
Number of binary
sensors and actuators
Max. 496 DI/496 DO
Access control
• Cyclic polling master/slave procedure
• Cyclic data acceptance from host (PLC, PC)
Error safeguard
Identification and repetition of faulty message
