• The 3RK3 central unit is supplied with a memory module (sealable with central unit or control
cabinet).
• Up to 9 expansion modules can be connected to the 3RK3 Advanced central unit.
• Connection of the diagnostics display is possible as an option for time-saving diagnostics.
• Connection to AS-Interface is possible for safety-related and non-safety-related data
exchange.
• The 3RK3 ASIsafe Basic central unit is suitable for AS-i Power24V.
Inputs and outputs
The 3RK3 Advanced central unit has the following inputs and outputs:
• 8 safety-related, freely parameterizable sensor inputs
• 1 safety-related two-channel relay output
• 1 safety-related two-channel semiconductor output
• 2 test outputs for sensor supply and monitoring when used with safety-related sensor inputs
Note
Safety-related outputs
If you use the safety-related outputs with a two-channel shutdown, a fault exclusion, such as a
short-circuit to P or M, is required. This condition is met within a control cabinet and when the
connection cables are installed in such a way that they are protected.
MSS 3RK3 Advanced on the AS-i bus
The MSS 3RK3 Advanced can perform various functions on the AS‑i bus:
• Simulation of up to 4 non-safety-related AS-i slaves
• Simulation of up to 12 safety-related AS-i input slaves
• Control of up to 12 safety-related AS-i outputs
• Display of up to 31 safety-related AS-i outputs
• Monitoring of up to 14 non-safety-related AS-i slaves
• Monitoring of up to 31 safety-related AS-i input slaves
You will 󹪝nd further information in Chapter "Connecting to the AS-i master via AS-Interface
(Page 202)."
