Components for ASIsafe

The concept ASIsafe (AS-Interface Safety at Work) enables the integration of fail-safe components to an AS-Interface network, such as:
Emergency stop push buttons
Safety door switches or
Safety light arrays
These are fully compatible with the renowned AS-Interface components (masters, slaves, power supply units, etc.) in accordance with EN 50 295 and can be operated together on the yellow AS-Interface wiring.
Depending on your individual requirements, you can choose between the "small" local ASIsafe Solution (standard PLC, standard AS-i Master and ASIsafe safety monitor) and cross-cell, plant-wide ASIsafe integration using the DP/AS-i F-Link, as transition from ASIsafe to PROFIsafe under a fail-safe controller (ASIsafe Solution PROFIsafe).
Siemens offers you the full range of components required to set up a safe AS-Interface network.
