Benefits
•
Safety-related signals (EMERGENCY-STOP, door interlock,
light curtains, etc.) collected with AS-i and transferred to
higher-level F-PLC.
•
Fully fledged AS-i master according to Specification V3.0
- Up to 248 DI/248 DO when using 62 A/B slaves with
4 DI/4 DO each
- Up to 62 digital or analog slaves
•
Connection to PROFIBUS networks, such as
DP/AS-i LINK Advanced or DP/AS-Interface Link 20E
•
Teaching the code sequences of ASIsafe slaves is possible at
the press of a button
•
Reduced amount of engineering work thanks to user-friendly
configuration of all AS-i slaves from Siemens using the slave
selection dialog in HW-Config (STEP 7), including setting the
F-parameters of the ASIsafe slaves modeled on PROFIsafe
slaves
•
Use in machine tools under SINUMERIK 840 D sl possible
•
Reduction of standstill and servicing times in the event of a
slave failure thanks to user-friendly diagnostics using the
display and through simple module exchange (only a few
settings by control keys are required, without use of the con-
figuring tool)

Application
Links between PROFIsafe and ASIsafe
The DP/AS-i F-Link is a PROFIBUS DP-V1 slave (according to
IEC 61158 and IEC 61784) and an AS-i master (according to
IEC 62026-2, based on AS-Interface Specification V3.0).
It enables transparent data access to AS-Interface from
PROFIBUS DP. The DP/AS-i F-Link is also an AS-i master with
which safety-related input data can be passed from ASIsafe
slaves via the PROFIsafe protocol to a fail-safe CPU with
PROFIBUS DP master. No additional safety cabling or monitor-
ing is required (in particular no MSS ASIsafe Modular Safety
System).
The transmission of binary values or analog values is possible
depending on the slave type. All slaves according to AS-Inter-
face Specification V2.0, V2.1 or V3.0 can be used as AS-i slaves.
PROFIBUS DP masters according to DP-V0 or DP-V1 can ex-
change I/O data with lower-level AS-i slaves in cyclic mode.
PROFIBUS DP masters with acyclic services according to
DP-V1 are additionally able to initiate AS-i command calls (e.g.
reading/writing the AS-i configuration during normal operation).
In addition to digital I/O data, analog data can also be saved with
high performance in the cyclic I/O of a fail-safe
SIMATIC S7-300/416 F-CPU.
During operation, four display LEDs and the display provide de-
tailed diagnostics information, which directly localizes the fault if
required. Using the PLC user program it is possible to read out
diagnostics data records and make them available to a higher-
level operating and monitoring system (e.g. WinCC Flexible or
TRANSLINE HMI).
For diagnostics during ongoing operation, diagnostics blocks
with clearly arranged visualization on the SIMATIC HMI panel are
available or can be downloaded free of charge via a web
browser;
