18 Getting Started with C7-621-AS-i
Setting the address areas and accessing the AS-i user data
In standard operation, the AS-i communications processor behaves like an I/O module. It occupies
16 input and 16 output bytes in the analog area of the controller. Each slave on the AS-i cable is assigned
four bits (a nibble) by the C7-AS-i-CP. The C7-CPU can access a nibble for reading and writing. The start
address of this address area is fixed at 256 in the C7-AS-i. For the assignment of the slave I/O bits to the
I/O bytes of the C7-CPU, see the AS-i interface table.

The parameters required in the application appear on a gray background.
The diagram below illustrates the access to the input and output data of the individual slaves.
Because the bits of the AS-i line can only be accessed in word mode or doubleword mode, it is necessary
to set up a memory data block. In the data block the AS-i data can be accessed in bit mode.
Transfer the image of the AS-i
input data to a data block.
Evaluate individual bits and
perform, e.g., logic operations,
setting and resetting, arithmetic
operations and counting.
Copy the output data of the data
block to the AS-i output data.
