Analog data
The 16 bit values of AS-i slaves according to the profile 7.3 can read and written
within each PROFIBUS cycle or via the mailbox.
If analog values are written cyclic and acyclic via the mailbox or via DPV1 at the
same time, the values transmitted cyclically will overwrite the acyclic values.
AS-i analog data 7.3 may be mapped in a separate area to provide easy access.
Mailbox
Only using the IDs of the process data field the AS-i/PROFIBUS gateway can be
used as M0 AS-i master. Using the mailbox (see chapter 8.1) the functions of a M3
master are avaiable.
A mailbox command will be treated if the toggle bit T has changed. In that way the
same command can be used many times.
The mailbox commands can also be activated with PROFIBUS-DP V1. Even the
process data exchange is possible via the mailbox. In that way the configuration
software "AS-i Control Tools" can run the whole communication via DP V1.
