From simplicity to intelligence: AS-Interface in modern automation

AS-Interface (ASi) has been successfully used as a fieldbus system in industrial automation for many years. This fieldbus was specifically developed for the lowest automation layer: directly connecting sensors and actuators to a control system such as a PLC.
The hallmark of ASi is the simple two-wire yellow cable, which provides both power and communication. This results in a fast, cost-efficient, and straightforward installation.
The latest generation, ASi-5, represents a significant leap forward in speed, data capacity, and diagnostic capabilities. Thanks to the increased bandwidth, advanced protocols like IO-Link can also be seamlessly integrated, without compromising the renowned simplicity and compatibility of the ASi system.
During this presentation, we will show you what is possible with this new generation of technology and how ASi-5 in combination with IO-Link can be applied within current and future industrial automation solutions.
