Compact AS-interface Gateways

The AS-Interface gateways from Phoenix Contact can be integrated into a Profibus-DP system. The devices have a rugged stainless steel housing with IP20 protection and have been designed for installation in control cabinets. The gateways allow AS-Interface slaves to be operated with extended addressing and are specified according to the AS-Interface specification 3.0. This means that they are downwards compatible to AS-Interface slaves with older specifications. With their compact housing they are designed as a double master to connect 2 AS-Interface circuits. Profibus settings for the gateway can be made and ASInterface circuits configured.
