ASI valve connector for switching currents up to 2 A

September 2000 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

In automation, practical solutions are required for fieldbus systems. The flexibility of AS-Interface makes it a popular fieldbus system. The Murrelektronik ASI-valve connector can drive up to four inductive valve coils. Available in four versions (eg two inputs and two outputs) to DIN 43650, the small and compact-design connector is IP67 protected. M12 ports make it possible for the user to connect another coil as well as two sensors to the AS-I-Bus (eg limit detectors).

AS-I-connection technology allows a quick and problem-free connection of the bus cable. The LED indicator allows for clear diagnostics and quick error-detection. Addressing is via a separate address port which is still accessible after the module is mounted.
