Cables
The yellow profiled cable has become
synonymous with AS-Interface. It has a
geometrically defined cross-section and
simultaneously transmits data and auxil-
iary power to the sensors. Additional aux-
iliary power is required for the actuators
(aux. voltage, e.g. 24 V DC). Different
coloured profiled cables have been spec-
ified utilising the same installation tech-
nology. A black profiled cable is therefore
used for 24 V DC auxiliary voltages.
The core insulation usually consists of a
rubber mixture (EPDM). For applications
where demands are greater, e.g. resis-
tance to chemicals, profiled TPE (ther-
moplastic elastomer) or PUR (poly-
urethane) cables are available. However,
round two-wire cables without PE con-
ductor can also be used as the trans-
mission cable.
The transmission technology obviates
the need for cable shielding.
