AS-INTERFACE OVERVIEW

AS-INTERFACE THE STANDARD FOR FAST, RELIABLE INSTALLATION

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 THE RIGHT CHOICE

AS-Interface simplifies the connection of sensors and actuators, enables the use of any of any network topology, allows flexible expansion, and reduces installation 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 IS SIMPLE, FAST AND FLEXIBLE

Both 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.

ADVANTAGES OF AS-INTERFACE
s Free choice of topology s Works with all fieldbusses s Simple installation using a redundant piercing connection technology s Reverse-polarity protected flat cable s Distributed solutions s Transmission of safe input and output signals s Simple extension, flexible adaptation s Automatic addressing after device exchanges s Monitoring of sensor failures, cable breaks and short-circuits s High noise immunity enables secure data transfer on unshielded flat cable s Diagnostic functions using display on master and local display via LED on modules s Statistical evaluation of transmission errors

AS-INTERFACE IS SAFE
Safety 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.

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.

G4 DESIGN IN IP67
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. s H x W x D: 70 x 90 x 100 mm s Assembly in the field in protection class IP67 s DIN rail or panel mounting s Connection of fieldbus / power via screwed connections and AS-Interface directly via a redundant piercing connection technology

POWER SUPPLIES, REPEATER AND POWER EXTENDER

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.

DC POWER SUPPLY FOR AUXILIARY POWER

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.

REPEATERS
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.

POWER EXTENDER
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.

G4 KE2

WIRE EXTENSION AND AS-INTERFACE ANALYZER

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.

14

Logic functions are easily configured on the PC and, with drag-and-drop, they are loaded into the safety monitor. Configurations are easily copied; devices are simple and quick to exchange. All diagnostic data can be transmitted to the controls.

SENSORS WITH AS-INTERFACE CONNECTION

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS
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. s Robust, impact resistant plastic housing s Protection class IP67 s Brightly lit display LEDs for Power ON, visible from greater distances s Yellow display LED on the front and rear of the device, so the signal can be read from several directions s Sensitivity adjustment standard s Insensitive to extraneous light, even with flourescent lamps s Simple mounting using dovetailed fastening and pass-through mounting hole

AS-INTERFACE IS WELL-PROVEN IN THE FIELD

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.

CHEMICAL
Herberts, 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.

LOGISTICS
The 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 ENGINEERING
Pittl, 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 MANUFACTURE
At OPEL in Rsselsheim, 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 TECHNOLOGY

Roche 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.
