9.5 Functions of the new generation of AS-i Gateways
The new generation scores with further optimized diagnostics, several additional
functions and even greater operating convenience.
9.5.1 C-programmable Gateways
Main menu || SETUP || AS-I CONTROL || CONTROL FLAGS ||
The devices programmed in C are able themselves to take over a great number of
control tasks. In smaller systems the user will even be able to do without a PLC
altogether: if desired the C program can function as a full mini-PLC. In more com-
plex applications the C-programmable Gateways make the work of the PLC easi-
er - for example by pre-processing special functions.
9.5.2 Interchangeable memory card
