■ Overview
AS-Interface repeater
AS-Interface repeaters are used for extending the AS-Interface
cable by 100 m per repeater and have the following features:
• Maximum two repeaters in series
• Parallel switching of several repeaters possible
(star configuration option)
• Maximum size increase of an AS-Interface network to up to
500 m is thus possible
• Easy mounting
• IP67 module enclosure
Design of an AS-Interface network with repeaters
• Slaves can be used on both sides of the repeater
• AS-Interface power supply is required on both sides
• Electrical separation of the two AS-Interface shaped cable
lines
• Installed in K45 module enclosure with mounting plate
• Separate indication of the correct AS-Interface voltage for
each side
• Maximum two repeaters in series (max. cable length 300 m)
• Parallel switching of several repeaters possible
(star configuration)
• Combination of series and parallel switching possible
(max. range 500 m)

■ Benefits
• More possibilities of use and greater freedom for plant plan-
ning through extension of the AS-Interface network
• Reduced downtime and servicing times in the event of a fault
thanks to separate indication of the correct AS-Interface volt-
age for each side
■ Application
The repeater is used to lengthen the AS-Interface segment
by 100 m. In this case there are AS-Interface slaves and one
AS-Interface power supply on each side of the repeater.
Note:
The AS-Interface repeater is not suitable for
AS-i Power24V networks. It is recommended for use in
AS-Interface networks with AS-Interface power supply units
(e.g. 3RX9 501-0BA00).
