■ Overview
The actuator-sensor interface - the networking system used for
the lowest field area - is characterized by very easy mounting
and installation. A new connection method was developed
specially for AS-Interface.
The stations are connected using the AS-Interface cable.
This two-wire cable has a trapezoidal shape, thus ruling out
polarity reversal.
Connection is effected by the insulation piercing method. In
other words, male contacts pierce the shaped AS-Interface ca-
ble and make reliable contact with the two wires. Cutting to
length and stripping are superfluous. Consequently, AS-Inter-
face stations (e.g. I/O modules, intelligent devices) can be con-
nected in the shortest possible time and exchanging devices is
quick.
To enable use in the most varied ambient conditions (e.g. in an
oily environment), the AS-Interface cable is available in different
materials (rubber, TPE, PUR).
For special applications it is also possible to use a standard
round cable. With AS-Interface, data and power for the sensors
(e.g. BERO proximity switches) and actuators (e.g. indicator
lights) are transmitted over the yellow AS-Interface cable.
The black cable must be used for actuators with a 24 V DC
supply (e.g. solenoid valves) and a high power requirement.
■ Selection and ordering data
1)
Note on towability of the AS-Interface cable with PUR outer sheath: To
determine its towability, the AS-Interface cable was tested in "IGUS tow
chains" Type 10.2.048 and 20.2.55. For the test, the tow chain was fitted
with 3 × AS-Interface cables and diverse round cables. After three million
bendings (stroke), no damage to the cores, strands or outer sheath were
discovered (tow chain equipped to 50 %).
