Application area 
The ASM interface modules are links between the MOBY D components SLG/MDS and the 
higher-level control systems (e.g. SIMATIC S7) or PC or computers. Depending on the 
interface module used, up to two SLGs can be connected. 
Design and functions 
The ASM comprises a microcontroller system with an individual program (PROM). The CPU 
receives commands over the user interface and saves them in RAM. The user receives an 
acknowledgement that the command has arrived. If the command is valid, the CPU starts to 
process it.
