IO-Link AS-i modules

The IO-Link AS-i module from ifm efector combines the advantages of the AS-i wiring system with the standardised IO-Link communication. The simple AS-i connection technology enables the establishment of the data connection and energy supply for IO-Link devices.

With these modules the sensor settings can be saved centrally and be transferred to a new sensor, if necessary. This ensures error-free documentation and short downtimes. Distorted signals and conversion losses are excluded, because IO-Link and AS-i transfer analog values as digital data.

IO-Link devices transmit additional information via the standard M12 sensor cable, and status LEDs indicate important AS-i and IO-Link operating states. Diagnostic information can be transmitted up to the control level, and additional wiring is not necessary.

The AS-i system provides fast, simple and reliable installation and the flat cable can be placed from three directions. A slide locks the upper part and the lower part together.
