To be able to operate the system in a sensible way you need the following accessories besides the
gateway (not supplied with the device):
(Only AC1376:) a power supply for the 24 V power supply (e.g. art. no. DN3011)
(AC1375 is supplied via AS-i)
for each AS-i master one power supply each (e.g. art. no. AC1236)
as well as AS-i slaves.

Central unit
The central processing unit (CPU) ensures the data transfer between the subsystems. It manages
the remanent flash memory and the volatile RAM memory.
The flash memory (1 Mbyte) stores non-volatilely...
the system configuration including the AS-i configurations,
the runtime system (RTS),
the remanent data.
After power-on of the device the operating system runs in the SRAM memory (1 Mbyte).
The AS-i masters of AC1376 have one separate microcontroller each.
The AS-i master communicates with the connected slave modules on the AS-i bus according to
the AS-i specification.

5327
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. This
data is combined in several data fields.
These data structures and their contents will be described in the following sections.
