Safety Guidelines

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent

damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert

symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are

graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE

indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into

account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will

be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to

property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and

operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes

in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and

label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

1.3 What is AS-Interface?

System Manual, 11/2008, 3RK2703-3BB02-1AA1 19

1.3 What is AS-Interface?

AS-Interface

AS-Interface ("AS-i" for short) stands for actuator sensor interface. It is an industrial field bus

system that retrieves the signals at the lowest field level.

Cost-effective alternative to standard wiring methods: the yellow AS-i cable

● The sensors and actuators no longer need to be connected individually to the controller

via parallel cables, which is an extremely time-consuming process, but simply via one

joint AS-i cable.

● The input signals are gathered from AS-i modules and automatically sent to an AS-i

master, which forwards the data to the controller (e.g. SIMATIC S7). At the same time,

the output signals travel in the opposite direction.

● The AS-i cable also supplies the power for the modules and sensors.

● The modules can be easily connected to the yellow AS-i flat ribbon cable by means of the

insulation displacement method so that they are protected against polarity reversal.

● The following terminal devices can be connected to AS-i modules:

– Binary sensors (e.g. proximity switches, positions switches, pushbuttons)

– Binary actuators (e.g. valves, indicator lights)

– Analog sensors (e.g. temperature sensors (KTY, PTC, NTC), level indicators)

– Analog actuators (e.g. analog displays)

● The following sensors and actuators with integrated AS-i slave can also be connected to

AS-i modules:

– Control devices

– Signal columns

– Motor feeders

– Position switches

Direct assembly

● Since the AS-i field modules are available with housings with a high degree of protection

(e.g. IP67), they can be assembled in the immediate vicinity of sensors and actuators.

AS-i modules and sensors/actuators can be quickly and easily connected using short

prefabricated cables (e.g. M12 or M8 plug-in cables).

● Modules with degree of protection IP20 are available for use in control cabinets.

AS-i logo

AS-Interface devices have the following logo:

Figure 1-1 The AS-Interface logo

Optimum quantity structure

AS-Interface is optimized in line with the data volume that fulfills the requirements of the

lowest field level. Up to 31 modules (standard slaves) each with four digital inputs and

outputs can be connected for each AS-i network. The cycle time here is max. 5 ms.

The number of modules can be doubled to 62 when modules with an extended addressing

mode (A/B slaves) are used.

Analog input and output modules are also available in addition to digital modules.

Safety-oriented signals (EMERGENCY STOP, door tumbler, two-hand operations etc.) can

also be transferred.

International standard

The AS-Interface concept was elaborated in 1992 by a consortium originally comprising

11 companies, including Siemens AG, in the area of industrial automation. Since then,

approx. 300 companies worldwide have helped create an established system with this

technology.

AS-Interface complies with the international standards EN 50295 and IEC 62026-2 for field

bus communication.

The system properties are defined in an open, manufacturer-independent manner in the AS-i

specifications (AS-i Spec. for short) by the umbrella organization AS-Interface Association.

System Manual, 11/2008, 3RK2703-3BB02-1AA1 21

1.4 The automation pyramid and deployment of AS-i

The automation pyramid levels

The automation pyramid is divided into three levels.

The control level

Here, individual automation islands are connected to each other to create larger units, e.g.:

● Several machines in a hall

● Several halls in a plant

● Several plants in a company at different locations

Data exchange takes place in large data blocks and is not critical from a time perspective.

The field control level

At this level:

● Central and distributed automation devices are used

● Complex field devices are connected

Data is usually exchanged on a byte-dependent basis.

The actuator/sensor level

At this level, the most commonly-used components are connected:

● Binary actuators

● Simple analog devices

Data is usually exchanged on a bit-dependent basis.

Totally Integrated Automation

The Siemens Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept covers all the automation levels

and is optimized in line with the interfaces.

Siemens offers:

● AS-Interface communication processors (CP) that can be installed directly in the

SIMATIC rack

● Gateways (links) for transferring data from AS-Interface to PROFIBUS and PROFINET

1.5 Benefits of AS-Interface

The actuator sensor interface offers the following benefits:

● No need for complex cable harnesses to the sensors and actuators

● Smaller control cabinets due to the lack of I/O modules

● Rapid installation thanks to the IP67 housing and AS-i insulation displacement method

● Plug-in methods allows sensors and actuators to be connected without errors

● Signals are mapped in the PLC in the same way as for standard I/O modules

● Comprehensive range of diagnosis options covering even individual modules

● Modules can be replaced while the system is live

These benefits not only help cut the cost of configuration, installation, documentation, and

maintenance, but also reduce downtime.
