2.5 AS-i Gateways
DP / AS-i Gateway
Even when using the PROFIBUS DP distributed I/Os, the use of AS-Interface can
have advantages. The networking of the process peripherals can be extended
beyond PROFIBUS to include the actuators/sensors.
The following devices can be used as gateways to PROFIBUS:
S DP/AS-Interface Link 20 (a link designed in compliance with IP 20 for
interfacing AS-Interface to PROFIBUS DP)
S DP/AS-Interface Link 20E (link designed in compliance with IP 20 with extended
AS-i master functionality for interfacing AS-Interface to PROFIBUS-DP)
S CP 242-8 (simultaneous connection of an S7-200 to PROFIBUS DP and
AS-Interface)
S CP 142-2 in the ET 200X
S CP 342-2 in the ET 200M
S CP 343-2 in the ET 200M (extended master)
S CP 2433 in the ET 200U
S S5-95U PLC with PROFIBUS interface and CP 2433
S S7-300 / CPU 315-2 DP with CP 342-2 or DP343-2
S DP/AS-Interface Link (link designed in compliance with IP 65 for connecting the
AS-Interface to PROFIBUS DP)
