4.2 AS-i 3.0 PROFIBUS Gateway in Stainless Steel
The AS-i/PROFIBUS Gateways serve to connect AS-i systems to the superordi-
nate PROFIBUS. The gateways act as a master for AS-i and as a slave on
PROFIBUS.
The AS-i/PROFIBUS Gateways are designed to connect AS-i systems to an up-
per-level PROFIBUS network. The gateways act as a master for AS-i and as a
slave on PROFIBUS.
All AS-i functions can be used cyclically as well as acyclically via PROFIBUS
DP/ V1.
For the cyclical data transfer up to 32 bytes of I/O data can be transferred as bina-
ry data for one AS-i network. Additionally, analog signals and all available com-
mands of the new AS-i specification can be transferred via the command channel
through PROFIBUS.
On the serial PROFIBUS Master AS-i Control Tools can be used to monitor the
AS-i data online via PROFIBUS DP/V1.

The devices can be operated directly on a 24V (PELV) power supply. The gateway VBG-PB-K20-
D-EV is optimized with integrated data coupling coils and adjustable self-resetting fuses for safe
use also of powerful 24V power supplies. The gateways VBG-PB-K20-D-EV1 and VBG-PB-K20-
DMD-EV1 need to add in Power24V-operation a power supply decoupling unit.
