IE/AS-i LINKs PN IO

The IE/AS-i LINKs PN IO are a PROFINET IO device (according to IEC 61158) and AS-i master (according to AS-i Spec. 3.0 according to EN 50 295 and IEC 62026-2). This permits data to be transparently accessed at AS-Interface from Industrial Ethernet. It is either available as single or double master and is therefore ideally suited for distributed architectures and to connect an AS-Interface network to higher-level bus systems.

Two versions of the IE/AS-i LINK PN IO are available:

Device with one AS-Interface segment (single master)

Device with two AS-Interface segments (double master)

Advantages at a glance

Wireless connection to Industrial Ethernet for problem-free integration of AS-i into the PROFINET world

Convenient TIA linking of AS-Interface

Additional Ethernet port permits Web interface diagnostics, reduces the number of external switch ports, and permits use in linear structures without additional switches

Complete commissioning and diagnostics on site without additional tools, and with low time requirements

Convenient commissioning and diagnostics using free standard tools

Use of high quantity frameworks thanks to AS-i double master

Independence of the two AS-i segments on the double master offers high plant availability
