AS-i Safety at Work field module.
 
 

 
 Safe signal detection and triggering of the locking mechanism.
  • Connection of fail-safe inductive switches to EN 954-1 / category 4
  • 1 safe input for ifm sensors, 1 switching output for actuators
  • Up to 8 fail-safe inductive sensors can be connected via M12 sockets
  • Module with standardised EMS interface for AS-i and 24 V
  • Data transmission on the AS-i bus approved by TÜV and BIA

Introduction
The ClassicLine Safety at Work module connects failsafe inductive switches to AS-interface. Evaluation to the Safety at Work protocol is carried out with one of the four available AS-i safety monitors.
The safe data transmission on the AS-i bus has already been approved by TÜV and BIA and is suitable for the transfer of signals up to the highest category 4 to EN 954-1.
Powerful LEDs on the front panel indicate switching states of the inputs and outputs, voltage supply and faults at the module, if any.
The safe AS-interface input module AC016S is approved for up to category 4 to EN 954-1.
The new input module AC016S allows the connection of fail-safe inductive proximity switches of ifm electronic up to category 4 to EN 954-1. This input module enables the connection of up to 8 safety-related inductive sensors without integrated AS-i interface to the AS-interface system.
In addition to the safe input these units also feature a switching output for actuators which allows magnetic guard locking controlled by AS-i.

Application
The fail-safe AS-i ClassicLine module can be used in a wide range of different applications. It is suitable where decentralised I /O, modular design and simplicity of the system are important and a high protection rating against environmental influence is required.
