7.3 Configuring the Master
To operate and monitor the AS-i system, the AS-i master constantly compares the actual
status of all slaves with the desired status. Therefore the AS-i master must be informed once
of the desired status of the system during AS-i system startup; this is referred to as the
master configuration process.
In the simplest case, the network at the time of startup can be configured as the desired
configuration.
For additional information, please refer to the user manuals:

7.4 Operation
The AS-i master carries out system diagnostics continuously during operation. Errors in the
system configuration are displayed immediately together with the corresponding slave
address.
To this end, AS-i masters have LED indicators and displays. This means that it is
immediately clear whether an error has occurred and where the error is located in the
system.
In the event that a slave device fails, only the affected device has to be replaced. This
means that the system can continue operating. The replacement device is automatically
started up using the correct communication address, without having to restart the system.
