AS-Interface Master Module
The Actuator Sensor-interface (AS-Interface) is the simplest and most cost-ef-
fective of the PLC-based , industrial-networking protocols. AS-Interface is a
truly open, low-cost electromechanical connection system designed to operate
over a two-wire cable carrying data and power over a distance of up to 100m. It
is especially suitable for lower levels of plant automation where simple - often
binary (On/Off) - fi eld devices such as switches, sensors, and actuators need to
interoperate in a local area automation network controlled by a PLC. IDEC sup-
ports this open technology.
Master-Slave Principle
The AS-Interface master controls and monitors the status of slave devices con-
nected to the AS-Interface bus. Normally, the AS-Interface master is connected
to a PLC (sometimes called ‘host’) or a gateway.
Various types of slave devices can be connected to the AS-Interface bus, includ-
ing sensors, actuators, and remote I/O devices. Analog slaves can also be con-
nected to process analog data. Slaves are available in standard slaves and A/B
slaves. Standard slaves have an address of 1 through 31 in the standard address

IDEC offers a plug-in AS-Interface master module (as well as other AS-Interface
devices, please see AS-Interface Communication section) that is easy to confi g-
ure; it can also connect up to 62 slaves. With this technology, you’ll reduce the
amount of engineering needed, simplify wiring and enhance your operations;
requiring less maintenance. With an average cost of savings of 15 to 40%
compared with traditional cabling methods, using an IDEC AS-Interface module
is the easy choice.
range. A/B slaves have an address of 1A through 31A in the standard address
range or 1B through 31B in the expanded address range. Among the A/B slaves,
slaves with an address of
1A through 31A are called A slaves, and slaves with an address of 1B through
31B are called B slaves. (see AS-Interface Communication section for more
details)
