2 Safety instructions
In this chapter you can find general safety instructions, such as:
•General rules
•Safety instructions for mounting and installation
•When are you allowed to use this device and when not?
2.1 General
No characteristics are warranted with the information, notes and examples pro-
vided in this manual. With the drawings, representations and examples given no
responsibility for the system is assumed and no application-specific particularities
are taken into account.
The manufacturer of the machine/equipment is responsible for the safety of the
machine/equipment.
Danger
Material damage or bodily injury when the notes in this manual are not adhered to!
ifm electronic assumes no liability for this.
►The acting person must have read and understood the safety instructions and
the corresponding chapters of this manual before performing any work on or
with this unit.
►The acting person must be authorised to work on the machine/equipment.
2.2 What previous knowledge is required?
This manual is intended for persons with knowledge of control technology and PLC
programming with IEC 61131-3 as well as the CoDeSys® software.
The manual is intended for persons authorised to mount, connect and set up the
controllereaccording to the EMC and low voltage directives. The controllers must
be installed and put into operation by a qualified electrician.
In case of malfunctions or uncertainties please contact the manufacturer:
→back of the manual.

2.3 Warning notes on mounting
CAUTION
Moisture, dust, shocks, overheating
Damage or failure of the unit possible!
|Moisture may destroy the electronics.
►Use the unit in a condensation-free environment.
|Dust deposits obstruct the necessary circulation of air for heat dissipation.
►If possible, do not expose the unit to a dusty environment. If this cannot be
avoided, you must clean the unit correspondingly often. →chapter 17
"Maintenance, repair and disposal".
|Shocks and vibrations may damage the unit.
►Adhere to the technical specifications.
►The air circulation through the vents must not be hampered. Therefore, allow
about 30 mm of clear space above and below the unit when installing it.
According to the technical specifications (→"Technical data") you can operate the
unit in a wide operating temperature range. Because of the additional internal heat-
ing the housing walls can have high perceptible temperatures when touched in hot
environments. This is normal and no cause for a complaint.

26BWarning notes on installation
2-3
2.4 Warning notes on installation
CAUTION
Short circuit, wrong connection
Malfunction of the machine/plant in which the unit is installed!
►Electrical installation tasks must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
►Disconnect power before connecting the controllereto avoid short circuits
during installation.
►Connect the terminals according to the terminal marking.
►The supply voltage (SELV) must not be connected to protective earth. There-
fore, never connect the minus terminal to the FE terminal or to another termi-
nal of the unit.
It must be ensured that the external voltage is generated and supplied according to
the criteria for safety extra-low voltage (SELV), since this voltage is provided with-
out further measures to supply the connected controller, the sensors and the actua-
tors.
The wiring of all signals concerning the SELV circuit of the unit must also meet the
SELV criteria (safety extra-low voltage, safe galvanic separation from other cir-
cuits).
If the supplied SELV voltage is externally grounded (SELV becomes PELV), the
responsibility lies with the user and the respective national installation regulations
must be complied with. All statements in this manual refer to the unit which is not
grounded with respect to the SELV voltage.
The connection terminals may only be supplied with the signals indicated in the
technical data and/or on the unit label and only the approved accessories of ifm
electronic may be connected.

4 Functions and features
CAUTION
Overload or wrong use of the unit
The unit and / or the associated machine/plant may be damaged or destroyed or
may malfunction if the limits of the "Technical data" for this unit are exceeded or if
the unit is used outside the specified "Functions and features".
►Use the unit only within the limits of the "Technical data"
→page 15-1, chapter 15 "Technical data".
►Use the unit only in accordance with the "Functions and features"
4.1 Intended use
You may use the unit for the following purposes (= functions and features):
•as a fieldbus gateway between the actuator-sensor interface network and a
higher-level controller (fieldbus master = host, e.g. PLC) via a fieldbus connec-
tion (option)
•as an independent controller for units via the actuator/sensor interface
with/without data exchange to a PC for visualisation of the machinery states
4.2 Prohibited use
The controlleremust NOT be used for the following purposes:
•outdoors
•in wet environments
•outside the limits of the technical data
→page 15-1, chapter 15 "Technical data"
Tampering with the unit can seriously affect the safety of operators and machinery.
This is not permitted and leads to an exclusion of liability and warranty.

4BFunction
32BData management
5-1
5 Function
5.1 Data management
The controllereconsists of different units:
•The central processing unit (CPU) ensures the data transfer between the
sub-systems. It manages the remanent flash memory and the volatile RAM
memory.
•The flash memory is now 1 mbyte large and stores non-volatilely...
•the system configuration including the AS-i configurations,
•the runtime system (RTS),
•the PLC program (must explicitly be stored there!),
•the remanent data.
•The operating system and the PLC programs run in the SRAM memory, now
also 1 mbyte large, after power-on of the unit.
•The AS-i masters each feature a separate microcontroller and communicate
according to the AS-i specification with the connected slave modules on the
AS-i bus.
•By using a text/graphics display in the controlleredetailed system diagnosis
is possible. The handling of the unit with the four keys is easy to learn.
→page 8-1, chapter "Operating and display elements"
The bilingual design of the menus and messages simplifies worldwide use of
this device family.
→page 8-5, chapter "Text/graphics display: switch language"
An intelligent message management generates priority-based diagnostic and
error messages and considerably supports the user during set-up and fault-
finding.
→chapter 16 "Error messages"
•The PLC is a real-time software core in the central unit. The core cyclically
polls the user program. This user program is created and tested by means of
the software CoDeSys®.

33BAS-i data introduction
5-2
•The serial programming interface, (RS-232C with RJ11 socket) enables
convenient projection and programming of the AS-i masters and the PLC via a
personal computer with a transmission rate of up to 115 kBd.
•With the optional Ethernet programming interface, (10/100 MBd, twisted
pair), the unit can, in addition to even faster programming and diagnosis, also
be networked to other controlleredevices.
→separate supplementary device manual
•The optional fieldbus interface operates independently and exchanges data
with the central system via a "dual port RAM" interface or a DMA transfer.
→separate supplementary device manual
5.2 AS-i data introduction
The AS-i master and the AS-i slaves make a large amount of data available to the
user. The user can retrieve information, such as the status of the master and the
configuration data of the slaves. These data are summarised in several data fields
and can be accessed via standard IEC addresses (→also page 12-6, chapter
"Overview PLC addresses").
These addresses and their contents will be described in the following sections.
