AS Interface

MicroSmart Master Module

The AS-Interface is a reliable bus management system in which one master periodically monitors each slave device connected on the AS-Interface bus in sequence. The FC4A-AS62M master manages the I/O data, parameters, and identification codes of each slave in addition to slave addresses.

• Compliance with AS-Interface Version 2.1 specifications
• Digital and analog slaves can be connected
• Bus topology is flexible
• High reliability and security
• IEC62026-2 compliant

AS-Interface Safety at Work

Safety Monitor

The SX5A Safety monitor allows you to easily connect AS-Interface safety products to an existing AS-Interface network while being able to meet EN954-1 Category 4. Easy to use software makes setup and configuration quick and simple.

The unit can be set for either Stop category 0 or 1 (stop category 0: when a warning signal is input, the safety relay is shut down instantly; stop category 1: when a warning signal is input, the safety relay is shut down after the machine driving part has moved to safe status)

• EN954-1 category 4 compliant
• Standard slaves and safety slaves can be used in the same network, and no new safety network is necessary
• Response time 40 ms maximum (time interval after the safety input of safety slave has been shut down until the safety output is turned off)
• A maximum of 31 safety slaves can be connected
• Stop category 0 or 1 can be selected
• Easily setup using Windows based configuration software
