Overview
New addressing unit V 3.0 for AS-Interface
The addressing unit is used to each AS-Interface slave to assign
an address to during commissioning. The device detects a con-
nected slave module or a complete AS-i network and displays
the found module in the LCD display. Via the on/down keys can
each address can be individually set. By turning the rotary
switch to the setting are intuitive further commissioning functions
selected. The innovative device has been to the current AS-i
Specification V3.0 and can now also adapted the I/O data of the
latest Slaves operator control.
Function
• Reading out and adjusting the slave address 0 to 31 or
1A to 31A, 1B to 31B, with automatic addressing aid and
prevention of double addresses
• Reading out the slave profile (IO, ID, ID2)
• Reading out and adjusting the ID1 code
• Input/output test when commissioning the slaves:
Input signals read and outputs write with all digital and analog
slaves according to AS-Interface Specification V 3.0, includ-
ing safe input slaves and complex CTT2 slaves
• Measuring the voltage on the AS-Interface cable
(measuring range from 2 to 35 V)
• Indication of the operational current in case of direct connec-
tion of an AS-i slave (measuring range from 0 to 150 mA)
• Storage of complete network configurations (profiles of all
slaves) to simplify the addressing
• Adjusting the Slave parameters for commissioning
• Reading out the identification and diagnostics of CTT2 slaves
• Reading out the code table of safe input slaves (ASIsafe)
Note:
The following applies to the operation of the addressing units to
an AS-Interface cable assembly with connected power pack:
The AS-Interface addressing unit is suitable for standard AS-i
networks and AS-i Power24V networks (operational voltage on
the AS-Interface cable min. 19 V).

Benefits
• Increased supply power to the slaves to 150 mA
• Better utilization of the battery capacity thanks to improved
circuitry
• Support for the current AS-i Specification V3.0
• Expanded display for simultaneous displaying input and
output states
• Clearly recognizable display of status digital inputs/outputs in
binary format (0 / 1), optionally also available as hexadecimal
values
• Intuitive display analog data either decimal, hexadecimal or
as a percentage (e. g. 100 % Corresponds to input/output
value 20 mA)
• I/O data of complex slaves (CTT2 profile) can be displayed
• Decoded display of the input data of safe input slaves,
including code table
• Simplification of the operating steps when setting the slave
address with automatic read back the set address
• Addressing cable, with even without screwing in tight into the
M12 socket ready for operation, this faster availability of the
addressing unit
• Proven compact housing with smooth keys and rotary switch
• Connection of standard AS-i networks with 30 V as well as
networks is possible Power24V
• Complex slaves with high operating current can be addressed
without external supply
• Longer operating time per battery pack
• Can be used with all types of digital and analog slaves
• Comprehensive and fast Input/Output test of plants, even if
A/B modules with 4 DI / 4 DO and current analog modules with
an A/B address
• Faster and more reliable commissioning of the AS-Interface
modules
• One-hand operation possible, with unique selection of the
functions
• Universal applicability for all AS-i networks
