Safe AS-i input module for light guard applications

April 2016 IS & Ex

The new safe AS-i input module is designed for the connection of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) with electronic outputs to EN 61496-1. It is particularly suited for the connection of safe inductive sensors such as GM705S. Pulse pick-ups for the display of muting functions can be connected via M12 sockets.

The integrated outputs ensure the connection of two signal lamps. The tried-and-tested quick mounting avoids wiring faults. The AS-i flat cable can be connected from three different directions. There is one M12 connecting socket each for the transmitter, the receiver and the two signal outputs.

Fail-safe sensors with a current consumption below 200 mA can be operated on AC507S without auxiliary voltage. The LEDs indicate the status of the inputs and outputs and the communication.

The new safe AS-i input module meets the requirements up to SIL3 according to EN 62061 and PL e to EN 13849-1. In the event of a fault, the integrated com­munication monitoring switches the signal outputs off.
