AS-i Safety at Work module

November 2017 IS & Ex

The safe input module allows safety-related components without integrated AS-interface to be connected to the AS-i Safety at Work system, allowing 2-channel inductive sensors with electronic OSSD outputs (e.g. GG712S) or light grids up to performance level d to EN 13849-1 to be connected to a single AS-i address using a 4- wire standard connection cable.

The quick-connection technology provides a high degree of installation reliability and flexibility, as the AS-i flat cable can be inserted from three different directions. LEDs indicate the status of the inputs and outputs and the communication.

The module meets the requirements up to SIL2 according to EN 62061 and PLd to EN 13849-1. In the event of a fault, the integrated communication monitoring switches the signal outputs off. The safe sensors and the outputs are completely powered by AS-i. The modules can be addressed either without voltage before mounting or when mounted and wired via the addressing socket. Only the AC1154 addressing unit plus the E70213 addressing cable are required.
