wards the AS-i communication. So in case of an error the down time of machines
can be minimized or you can initiate preventive maintenance.
Two Sorts of Housing
The AS-i PROFIBUS Gateways with one Master can be delivered in a housing for
cabinet mounting or in a field housing in IP65. The handling of the AS-i/PROFIBUS
Gateway in IP65 is identically with the AS-i/PROFIBUS-DP Gateway in IP20. The
high protection category IP65 makes the device suitable for applications in the ex-
treme industrial environments frequently encountered in the field. AS-Interface is
connected using the penetration technique of EMS (Electromechanical Interface).
PROFIBUS is connected with heavy gauge terminals and cage clamp terminal
blocks.
Commissioning and monitoring
The AS-i/PROFIBUS Gateways can be commissioned respectively programmed
with the help of the software "AS-i Control Tools" in combination with the
PROFIBUS-DP Master Simulator. The GSD file are included in the package.
Commissioning, debugging and setting up of the AS-i parameters without the soft-
ware can only be accomplished with the use of the push-buttons, the display and
the LEDs directly on the system.
