bus termination that can be optionally enabled. It is not possible to install AS-i slaves within the fiber optic segment. Below are examples of how the accesssories are used to extend your AS-i cable beyond 100 m. An animation shows the toolless quick mounting technology.

AS-Interface is a networking alternative to the hard wiring of field devices. It can be used as a partner network for higher level fieldbus networks such as Profibus, DeviceNet, Interbus and Industrial Ethernet, for whom it offers a low-cost remote I/O solution.

The “Association for Promoting Interfaces with Bus Capability for Binary Actuators and Sensors” (AS-i Association) is responsible for promoting the application and dissemination of the AS-i system; in particular the specification, standardization, certification and general user information.

AS-i bus (AS-Interface) is a communication protocol and bus system used in industrial automation and control systems. It stands for "Actuator-Sensor Interface" and is used to connect sensors and actuators in a distributed control system.

AS-Interface connects all sensors and actuators on the lowest field level with the superior control – with unrivaled ease, safety and integration! A cost-favorable feeder for PROFIBUS and PROFINET which supports easy engineering. It is standardized in accordance with IEC 62026-2.

Feb 14, 2025 · Welcome to AS-Interface, the efficient, easy, and worldwide standardized bus system for the lower field level.

As of 2019, ASi-5 is the latest innovation stage of the ASi bus system – the globally standardized fieldbus system for the first level of automation. ASi connects sensors and actuators to a control system via a single two-core profile cable.

AS-Interface, often abbreviated as AS-i, is a manufacturer-independent industrial networking standard connecting actuators and sensors of the first field level. It streamlines the integration of sensors and actuators with a control system. This AS-i bus system uses a two-wire flat cable to carry power and data.

Companies worldwide are relying on simple wiring and automation technologies to improve their overall plant efficiency and availability. Always present: AS-Interface. The sophisticated AS-Interface technology offers high reliability, noise immunity and diverse diagnostic capabilities.

In this tutorial, we explored some of the fundamentals of the ASI network. We configured an ASI gateway, discussed common ASI network issues, configured an ASI node, and finally integrated an ASI Gateway into our hardware configuration in TIA Portal.
