Overview
AS-Interface shaped cable
The actuator-sensor interface – the networking system used for
the lowest field area – is characterized by very easy mounting
and installation. A new connection method was developed spe-
cially for AS-Interface.
The stations are connected using the AS-Interface cable. This
two-wire AS-Interface shaped cable has a trapezoidal shape,
thus ruling out polarity reversal.
Connection is effected by the insulation piercing method.
In other words, male contacts pierce the shaped AS-Interface
cable and make reliable contact with the two wires. Cutting to
length and stripping are superfluous. Consequently, AS-Inter-
face stations (e.g. I/O modules, intelligent devices) can be con-
nected in the shortest possible time. and exchanging devices is
quick.
To enable use in the most varied ambient conditions (e.g. in an
oily environment), the AS-Interface cable is available in different
materials (rubber, TPE, PUR).
For special applications it is also possible to use an unshielded
standard round cable H05VV-F 2 x 1.5 mm² according to
AS-i Specification. With AS-Interface, data and energy for the
sensors (e.g. proximity switches) and actuators (e.g. indicator
lights) are transmitted over the yellow AS-Interface cable.
The black AS-Interface cable must be used for actuators with
a 24 V DC supply (e.g. solenoid valves) and a high power
requirement.
Suitable for operation in tow chains
The use of the AS-Interface shaped cables with TPE and PUR
outer sheath was checked in a tow chain test with the following
conditions:
After termination of the 10 million cycles only slight wear was
visible due to the lugs of the tow chain. No damage to the cores
and core insulation could be detected.
Note:
When using a tow chain, the cables must be installed in such a
way that they are not subject to tensile forces. On no account
may the cables be twisted, but they must be routed flat through
the tow chain.
