Slaves

Slaves are fitted with the AS-Interface electronics as well as connection options for sensors and actuators; they can be used in the field or a control cabinet. Slaves exchange data cyclically with a control module (master).
Up to 62 slaves can be connected to a single bus. Compact, distributed assemblies are possible both in control cabinets and at machine level in the field, e.g. with modules offering a high degree of protection.
