5.3.3.6 Connecting the AS-i bus
Requirements
The MSS 3RK3 can only be connected to the following central units on the AS-i bus:
• 3RK3 Advanced
• 3RK3 ASIsafe basic
• 3RK3 ASIsafe extended
When connecting the AS-i cables, pay attention to the general information in Chapter
"Connecting terminal blocks (Page 145)."
Note
Bus load of MSS 3RK3
The MSS 3RK3 is always a bus load from an A/B slave on the AS‑i bus. This bus load does not
depend on how many slaves are simulated by the 3RK3 central unit or whether only AS-i slaves
are monitored.
