1 Product Description
1.1 What is AS-Interface?
The actuator-sensor interface (AS-Interface) replaces conventional wiring technology on
the sensor-actuator level.
AS-Interface provides a secure data transfer, which is resistant to EMC influences, while
minimizing the time and costs of installation and incorporating a diagnostic function. AS-
Interface detects short-circuits, reduces incidental maintenance costs, and enables a
simple decentralization of control processes. Your plant takes on greater transparency,
making maintenance and tooling straightforward and more flexible.
AS-Interface is not a proprietary system, but an open standard accessible to manufacturers
in a wide range of products.
AS-Interface is optimally suited for the safe transfer of small quantities of data under harsh
industrial conditions. It has also established and proven itself as an economical standard for
networking sensors and actuators in many applications.
Conventional wiring typically requires two wires for power supply and an additional wire for
the signal or control line for each sensor and actuator. This results in high costs in terms of
connection/distributor technology, requires time-intensive installation, and necessitates
costly and complex documentation.
By comparison, AS-Interface offers the following advantages:
– Two-wire cable for the data and energy transmission of all slaves/modules.
– Connection using insulation piercing technology saves time, since stripping cables and
fitting connector sleeves are avoided.
1.2 AS-Interface Specification 3.0
In 2004, the AS-Interface Association defined the AS-Interface Specification 3.0 as a
backwards-compatible extension, while retaining the protocol and physical structure. AS-
Interface Specification 3.0 gives the user important advantages:
The number of possible network slaves is increased to 62. This is accomblished by enabling
31 A addresses and 31B addresses of which each is able to support up to 4 output databits.
In the master message of Specification 3 the I3 output bit has been replaced by the SEL
select bit. This select bit enables, in addition to the address bits A0 to A4, differentiation in
the address areas A and B. Through this differentiation, any address can be distributed in
both A and B, e.g. the address 15A and 15B. In Specification 2.1 3 output bits are available
per AS-Interface slave. In Specification 3.0, through the definition of the multiplex bit in
place of the I2 bit, 4 output bits are available per slave(communication of 4 output bits in
succession via the data bits I1 and I0), i.e. a total of 4 x 62 = 248 output bits. The slave
message remains unaffected by this change, i.e. there are still 4 x 62 = 248 input bits
available. In practice, this means an increase of the cycle time to a max. 20 ms, since in the
1st cycle the data of the AS-Interface slaves in the address area A, and in the 2nd cycle, the
data of the respective AS-Interface slaves in the address area B are written and read.
Additionally, the output bits are transferred one after the other.
UM EN ASI CC ADR
1-2 PHOENIX CONTACT 6237_en_00
Due to the backwards compatibility of Specification 3.0 you can continue to use standard
AS-Interface slaves. However, two of the 62 possible addresses are occupied by a standard
AS-Interface slave.
Structure of the master message:
Extended diagnostic
function
In addition to communication faults (e.g. messages with errors), the AS-Interface master
also detects hardware faults that are present on the AS-Interface slave. You have the option
of utilizing these peripheral error messages to provide a defined system shutdown in the
event of a fault, since sensor signals are no longer guaranteed to be available. In addition,
a statistical evaluation of the data is conceivable in order to assess the safety of the system.
Also, because of the extended diagnostics, it is possible to locate sporadically occurring
faults with regard to configuration and communication and to evaluate them via the AS-I
Control Tools.
Extension of the ID-Codes
of the AS-Interface slaves
Specification 2.1 AS-Interface slaves (A/B slaves) have the hexadecimal value A as the ID-
Code and have 2 more identification codes (ID1 and ID2) that describe the functionality of
the slave. You have the option of describing the ID1-Code.
The ID-Code for standard AS-Interface slaves differs from the ID-Code of the A/B slaves.
With standard AS-Interface slaves, no further identification codes are included.
1.3 Use and application of the handheld
AS-Interface nodes are usually addressed with a handheld. As a rule, a number of steps are
necessary to address the nodes and in the future you will be able to execute this procedure
faster using the handheld:
– Unique addressing of the AS-Interface nodes
– Power supply to the AS-Interface nodes via the handheld
– Function checks – even without programmable logic controller (PLC)
1.4 Delivery package
The delivery package contains:
– Addressing device
–Charger
– Quick start guide
SB CB A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 I4 SEL MUX I1 I0 PB EB
You have the option of reducing the cycle time by reducing the number of AS-Interface
slaves or by addressing the A/B-Slaves in the standard mode.
If you have changed the ID1-Code and want to automatically program the address, check
before the installation of the new AS-Interface slave that the ID1-Code has been correctly
stored in the AS-Interface slave.

Operation
6237_en_00 PHOENIX CONTACT 3-1
3Operation
3.1 Addressing operating mode
The addressing is divided into three individual procedures. The following table shows the
individual processes:
3.1.1 Navigating through addresses / selecting source address
when several slaves are connected
Press the ADR button to select the AS-Interface slave to which you want to assign a new
address. If several AS-Interface slaves are connected to the addressing device, press the
ADR button several times or press and hold the ADR button and scroll through the
addresses using the arrow keys.
3.1.2 Synonymous use of standard and A addresses
When addressing AS-Interface slaves connected to the handheld, make sure that the
address 0 is not occupied. Otherwise, an error message may occur.
Procedure Addressing
Selecting the source
address
– one AS-Interface slave connected: The address of the
connected AS-Interface slave is automatically detected as
the source address.
– several AS-Interface slaves connected: The source address
must be manually selected, see “Navigating through
addresses / selecting source address when several slaves
are connected” on page 3-1.
Selection of target ad-
dress
see “Setting the target address” on page 3-2. When being ad-
dressed, if the target address is occupied by a further connected
AS-Interface slave, the addressing device issues an error mes-
sage.
Start addressing see “Starting addressing” on page 3-2.
When addressing a slave, the address area of the target address is automatically adapted
to the connected slave:
1To assign an address to a connected slave with or without extended addressing, it is
sufficient to specify a target address in the standard address area or in address area
A. For a slave without extended addressing, the addressing device assigns the set
address automatically in the standard address area. For a slave with extended
addressing, the addressing device assigns the set address automatically as an A
address.
2To assign an address in address area B, you must specify target address area B, see
“Setting the target address” on page 3-2. If a slave without extended addressing is
connected, the addressing device shows a fault message.
