Example
The MSS 3RK3 Advanced simulates a safety-related AS-i input slave on the AS-i bus. The signals
of terminals of the expansion modules can be entered in the logic of the MSS 3RK3 Advanced as
AS‑i signals on the AS‑i bus. A safety monitor, for example, an AS-i safety monitor, can evaluate
these signals and shut down the motors safely.
① CPU/PLC
② AS-i power section
③ As-i safety monitor with connected motors on Q1/Q2
④ MSS 3RK3 Advanced (AS-i address #01) with emergency stop on IN1/IN2
⑤ Data exchange between MSS 3RK3 Advanced and the AS-i safety monitor
⑥ AS‑i master

6.5.7.6 Control of safety-related AS-i outputs
The MSS 3RK3 with AS-i interface can control safety-related AS-i outputs. Safety-related AS‑i
output slaves are simulated on the AS‑i bus for this purpose.
• The MSS 3RK3 ASIsafe basic can simulate up to 8 safety-related AS‑i output slaves.
• The MSS 3RK3 ASIsafe extended can simulate up to 10 safety-related AS‑i output slaves.
• The MSS 3RK3 Advanced can simulate up to 12 safety-related AS‑i output slaves.
