Fieldline Extension and the AS-Interface System
1 Fieldline Extension and the AS-Interface System
1.1 Fieldline Extension AS-Interface Product Group
Fieldline Extension is an extension of the existing Fieldline product range. AS-Interface
integrates seamlessly into this product range.
Easy handling is a key feature of Fieldline Extension AS-Interface devices. Innovative
technologies such as SPEEDCON fast connection technology or tool-free contacting of
FLX AS-i M12 devices to AS-Interface reduce the assembly time by 90%.
The input and output devices in the Fieldline Extension AS-Interface product group are
designed for distributed automation tasks in harsh environmental conditions. The devices
meet IP65/67 protection. The direct connection of sensors and actuators in close proximity
to the process is thus easily implemented.
In addition to components with IP65/67 protection, the Fieldline Extension
AS-Interface product group also includes other AS-Interface system components. These
include IP20 AS-Interface masters/gateways, AS-Interface power supply units, and
I/O slaves for use in the control cabinet.
AS-Interface masters are available in two versions.
The AS-Interface master for Inline can be used to connect AS-Interface to virtually all
common networks. This connection is established via the network-dependent Inline
bus coupler and the Inline local bus.
FLX ASI MA PB SF und FLX ASI MA 2 PB EF master are a Stand-Alone PROFIBUS version
for connecting AS-Interface to PROFIBUS DP networks.
The PROFIBUS masters support AS-i specification 3.0. Networks with up to 248 inputs and
248 outputs can be implemented together with different I/O devices (slaves) and IP20 or
IP65/67 protection.
They are backwards compatible which means they can also be operated with slaves of AS-
Interface specifications 2.0 or 2.1.
