AS-INTERFACE
OVERVIEW
AS-INTERFACE – THE STANDARD FOR FAST, RELIABLE INSTALLATION
2
AS-INTERFACE IS THE RIGHT CHOICEAS-Interface simplifies the connection of sensors and actuators, enables the use
of any of any network topology, allows flexible expansion, and reduces installa-
tion time and the cost of system documentation.
AS-Interface is ideal as an open solution to all popular fieldbus systems.
Nearly 1000 I/Os can be connected via a dual master on a network
up to one kilometer long.
AS-Interface has established itself as the global standard in cost-effective
transmission of standard and safe components using only one cable for power
and communication.
AS-INTERFACE IS SIMPLE, FAST AND FLEXIBLEBoth communication and power are carried on a polarity-protected yellow flat cable. An additional
black flat cable can be used for heavy power consumers. The redundant piercing connection
technology enables fast installation and automatic addressing after exchanges and minimizes
system downtime.
Motors, electric and pneumatic valves can be controlled
via AS-Interface.
Integrated solutions are available for position
feedback from valves. Many inductive and
photoelectric sensors and rotary encoders
can be directly connected
to AS-Interface.
Analog values can be
easily transmitted and
applications in EX-areas up
to Zone 1 are possible.
Extensive diagnostic functions are
available via the master, such as
ground fault monitoring,
communication quality and
duplicate address detection.
Using AS-Interface,
integrated sensors detect a wire break and report a
pre-fault condition, which reduces downtime.
3
AS-INTERFACE IS SAFESafety systems can be used with devices in safety
applications up to Category 4 (according to EN 954-1)
or SIL3 (according to IEC 61508). Safe signals can be
transmitted on the same flat cable, which reduces
cabling costs. Safety PLCs cards are completely
unnecessary.
A safety monitor listens to the communication on the
AS-Interface network and constantly evaluates the
data from the safety devices. Groupings and logic
combinations can be configured in a Windows-based
software package.
ADVANTAGES OF AS-INTERFACE
■ Free choice of topology
■ Works with all fieldbusses
■ Simple installation using a redundant piercing connection technology
■ Reverse-polarity protected flat cable

TECHNICAL DATA (SPEC. 3.0)

SCANNER AND GATEWAYS
AS-Interface scanner with serial RS232 connection or
gateways to all popular fieldbusses can bring all
information into the control system. When AS-Interface is
integrated into a running system, existing programs in the
PC or PLC can still be used, since the AS-Interface behaves
like an I/O card.
The scanners and gateways control and monitor data
exchange with the modules and AS-Interface sensors/
actuators utilizing the Master-Slave principle. From the
viewpoint of the upper level network, however, the
gateway behaves like a slave with more than 32 bytes of
input/output data as well as additional analog channels
and management channels.
Scanner/gateways are available as PC cards, as control
cabinet devices, and as field devices. With scanner/
gateways, configuration errors, peripheral errors,
communication errors, duplicate addresses and ground
faults are securely diagnosed. All diagnostic information
of the safety monitor is transmitted to a higher level
network. Using the integrated safety monitor with
PROFIBUS-gateway, all safety-related diagnostics can also
be read off the gateway locally, in plain text.

POWER SUPPLIES, REPEATER AND POWER EXTENDER
DC power supplies for auxiliary power (24 V DC) are
available in 5 and 10 A versions. The output voltage of
these units can be regulated up to 30 V.
Two or even four AS-Interface networks can be operated
together using a dual master with integrated data
decoupling (VBG-…-C1) and only one power supply and
one circuit breaker.

AS-INTERFACE POWER SUPPLY
An AS-Interface VAN-... power supply with 30.5 V DC
voltage and data decoupling is required to power the
AS-Interface network, in order to transmit energy and
modulated signals interference-free throughout the
network. Control cabinet power supplies with 4 A or 8 A
are available. The ground fault monitoring can be done in
the master. Also, power supplies are available with ground
fault detection when it is not integrated into the scanner
or gateway.
7
If an AS-Interface network is over 100 m long, it can be extended an
additional 100 m using a repeater. Up to two repeaters may be connected in
series.
In a star configuration, network lengths of 1 km can be implemented.
The repeater galvanically isolates the two network segments and transmits
the data modulation from one segment to the other. Since repeaters isolate
the connected network segments, an AS-Interface power supply or power
extender must be located in both segments. This does not affect the maximum
number of modules. LEDs on the repeater display operating voltage and any
communication error.
REPEATERS
The VAN-G4-PE-4A Power Extender and
a DC power supply with 30 V DC can be
used instead of an AS-Interface power
supply unit. When an AS-Interface power
extender is used, the distance between
the power supply unit and the power
extender is not included in the calculation
of the bus length. The combination of
power extender, repeater for the field
and the IP67 G4 gateway enables a
distributed AS-Interface solution, with
which no control cabinet is necessary.
POWER EXTENDER
The AS-Interface segments can be 100 m long without bus termination. This
should be used as the base length during configuration planning. For lengths
exceeding 100 m, a fixed or adjustable bus termination can improve the
communication of each segment allowing segment lengths to reach 300 m.
We recommend verifying the signal quality with the AS-Interface analyzer
when using bus terminations.

AS-INTERFACE SAFETY AT WORK
Safe signals can be transmitted via AS-Interface on the same network.
Emergency e-stop buttons, safety contacts, door interlocks, key switches, blade
switches, and safety light curtains can be connected directly or via safe
input modules on AS-Interface. Also motors, brake actuators, fans, etc. can
be safely controlled via safe output modules. A safety monitor checks
communication and ensures safe power-down to Category 4 according to
EN 954-1 or to SIL3 according to IEC 61508.
In contrast to solutions based on massive parallel wiring and global AUX power
shut-down, Safety at Work is a highly distributed, flexible and easily modified
solution. Additionally, this AS-Interface safety concept allows implementing
powerful logic conditions and several zones can be remotely
switched off via safe output modules if necessary.
■ Several safety monitors on one AS-i network
■ Simple group formation of safe signals
■ Eliminates the need for a safe PLC
■ Safe and standard signals on a single cable/network
■ Approved by TÜV and BIA for category 4 / SIL3

SENSORS WITH AS-INTERFACE CONNECTION
Series 28 AS-Interface Intelligent Sensors are the first photoelectric sensors
that are compatible with AS-Interface specification 3.0. One of the most
important features of this expanded standard is that it can support 62
AS-Interface modules on one bus instead of the previous 31. This makes
AS-Interface even more powerful. Every photoelectric sensor can connect
directly to the bus, enabling more information, such as status and error
messages or commands for parameterization, to be transmitted over the bus.
Light on/dark on operation and timer functions can be parameterized online.
■ Robust, impact resistant plastic housing
■ Protection class IP67
■ Brightly lit display LEDs for Power ON, visible from greater distances
■ Yellow display LED on the front and rear of the device, so the signal can be read from several directions
■ Sensitivity adjustment standard
■ Insensitive to extraneous light, even with flourescent lamps
■ Simple mounting using dovetailed fastening and pass-through mounting hole

AS-INTERFACE IS WELL-PROVEN IN THE FIELD
CHEMICALHerberts, a manufacturer, produces industrial lacquers, some of which also
contain solvents and are thus categorized as explosion hazardous. The storage
tanks are connected with 14 km of pipeline and are controlled over AS-Interface.
The open topology enables a system layout that best fits each application, and
the AS-Interface gateway to PROFIBUS allows uncomplicated networking.
LOGISTICSThe mail distribution center in Brussels was modernized to achieve higher
flexibility and faster processing speed. The solution was AS-Interface. A key
aspect for this application was the AS-Interface logic module, which can connect
inputs directly to outputs. This improves reaction time and eliminates the need
for expensive control circuitry.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERINGPittl, an automobile transporter in Austria, retooled their modular welding cells
with various functions onto AS-Interface and also integrated safety-oriented
signals, such as emergency shut-off, over the same flat cable. This saves
installation costs and improves process safety.
AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTUREAt OPEL in Rüsselsheim, chained assembly lines with over 1 km AS-Interface
lines were broken into segments via sliding contacts and connected to
AS-Interface. Here, over 1,700 modules with thousands of sensors and
140 masters are proving their reliability every day.
WAREHOUSING AND CONVEYOR TECHNOLOGYRoche Diagnostics in Mannheim, a warehouse with over 4 km of conveyors
was automated with AS-Interface. Up to 10,000 pallets per day, or
1,600 packages per hour, can be transported in this manner. Thousands of
sensors and mechanical drives are read and controlled
with AS-Interface modules.
Technical sales supportAn experienced team will support you
with any questions about configuration,
start-up, and control
connection.
Regardless of the industry, AS-Interface is always a good alternative to wiring sensors
and actuators to higher level controllers such as a PC, PLC, CNC, or DCS.
