2.4 Connecting Elements
You connect the elements of the ASi by attaching the modules to the ASi
cable. You do not have to operate the ASi cable for this.
The ASi cable is connected to the DP/ASi link by means of a connector.
In section 2.3, Fig. 2-2, you can see an illustration of an example of a mod-
ule.
You place the ASi cable in the module lower part. By attaching the module
upper part to the lower part, the two contact spikes per core penetrate the
insulation of the ASi cable and establish the contact.
You will find comprehensive installation instructions in the description of the
module that you wish to integrate in the ASi.
Should you wish to use a normal 2-wire cable instead of the ASi cable, con-
nect it to the module in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
