Turck FAS8 Advanced I/O Module (AIM) 8-port AS-I interface module

The IP67-rated FAS8 Advanced I/O Module (AIM) station is the latest addition to Turck’s line of AIM stations for AS-Interface (AS-I) networks. Previously only available in four-port configurations, the FAS8 provides users with an eight-port AIM station model.

The FAS8 station includes one digital PNP I/O signal per port, with an option of 2 A outputs. The station is designed to meet the latest AS-i v3.0 specification, allowing increased communication options for analog data and detailed diagnostic information.

Featuring PNP short circuit-protected inputs, the FAS8 automatically restricts current to prevent failures in the event of a sensor malfunction. Users are quickly notified through a fault signal indication if there is a short circuit on any I/O point. This module also supports both AS-I standard flat cable and round cable to accommodate current connection trends.

The FAS8 station is fully encapsulated and potted, sealing it against environmental contaminants and eliminating the need for a separate enclosure for protection. With its durable construction and IP67 rating, the station is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
