1.4 Function Description of the AS-Interface System
onlinecomponents.com
The AS-Interface system enables the easy connection of sensors and actuators to a control
system (Actuator Sensor Interface = AS-Interface = AS-i). It replaces the considerably more
complex option of parallel cabling in machines and systems. The system simplifies the
installation of devices at sensor/actuator level and replaces the conventional cable harness
with a single cable. The AS-Interface system is therefore also a serial communication
system. As a sensor bus it directly penetrates through to the individual sensors and
actuators.
It is precisely here that AS-Interface has become established as a global standard solution.
AS-Interface is internationally standardized in standards EN 50295 and IEC 62026-2. It is
supported by most well-known manufacturers of control systems and sensors/actuators.
