components.
Repeater
Compact extension plug
Repeaters and extension plugs
• Repeaters for extending the AS-Interface cable by 100 m per repeater
• Extension plug for extending the AS-Interface segment to max. 200 m
• Parallel switching of several repeaters possible (star configuration option)
• Maximum size increases (when combined) to more than 600 m

Addressing units
for AS-Interface V 3.0
Addressing units
• Read-out and setting of slave addresses 0 to 31 or 1A to 31A, 1B to 31B,
with automatic addressing support and prevention of double addresses
• Reading out the slave profile (IO, ID, ID2) and reading out and setting the ID1 code
• Input/output test when commissioning the slaves, on all digital and analog slaves
according to AS-Interface Specification V3.0, including safe input slaves and complex
CTT2 slaves
• Display of the operational current in case of direct connection of an AS-i slave
(measuring range from 0 to 150 mA)
• Storage of complete network configurations (profiles of all slaves) to simplify the
addressing
Your advantage: Easiest way to address and test the slaves.

Analyzer
AS-Interface analyzer
• Diagnostics units for completely checking the quality and function of an
AS-Interface installation
• Transmission of collected data through an RS 232 interface to a PC, evaluation by software
• Easy and user-friendly operation
• Automatically generated test logs
• Advanced trigger functions enable exact analysis
• Process data can be monitored online
• In addition to digital I/O data it is possible to view analog values and safety slaves
in data mode.
Your advantage: Preventative testing of an AS-Interface network is possible, recorded logs
facilitate remote diagnostics.
