The AS-i master (gateway) establishes the connection between PROFIBUS DP and the AS-
Interface system. The primary task of the AS-i master is to transmit bits from the PROFIBUS
DP to the AS-i slaves (actuators) and bits from AS-i (sensors) to the PROFIBUS DP.
On one side, the AS-i master is controlled by the PROFIBUS master, i.e., it represents a
PROFIBUS DPslave.
On the other side, it is the AS-i master, i.e., it monitors the connected AS-i system
andcontrols all processes on it. All AS-i functions can be called via PROFIBUS DP,
see "AS-i Fault Detector" on page 2-17.
A device database file (GSD) is supplied with the devices, which enables the easy startupof
the AS-i master for PROFIBUS DP. A device database file (GSD) is supplied with the
devices, which enables the easy startup of the AS-i master for PROFIBUS DP. It is
necessary to link a corresponding parameterization/programming software to a device
description file (GSD) to start up AS-i masters. It can be downloaded free of charge at
www.phoenixcontact.net/download.
By default, the device is set to PROFIBUS address 3. The PROFIBUS address can be
modified with two buttons, the three-digit display and the LEDs directly at the device. A
detailed description can be found in the "AS-i-Gateways for PROFIBUS" user manual,

Configuration
If no PC is available, startup, troubleshooting, and configuration on the AS-i system canalso
be carried out directly on the device using the two buttons, the three-digit display, and the
LEDs. This also includes the addressing of the connected slaves in your AS-i network.
