AS-i 3.0 PROFIBUS Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor
Glossary: As-i terms
Release Code
Security code for a safety configuration on the chip card. A 4-character hex
number generated by the ASIMON 3 G 2 software. The release code is displayed
before copying a configuration from the memory card to the Monitor and must be
repeated by the operator.
This provides a technical safeguard against errors in the unprotected display and
keyboard software.
Single Slave
A single slave can in contrast to a
⇒ A/B slave only be addressed from range 1 to
31; the fourth output data bit can be used. All slaves as defined by the older AS-i
Specification 2.0 are single slaves.
There are however also single slaves as defined by Specification 2.1, for example
the new 16 bit slaves.
Slave profile
Configuration data for a slave, consisting of:
⇒ I/O configuration and ⇒ ID-Code, as well as ⇒ extended ID1-Code and ⇒ ex-
tended ID2-Code.
The slave profile is used to distinguish between various slave classes. It is speci-
fied by the AS-i Association and set by the slave manufacturer.
AS-i 2.0 slaves do not have extended ID1 and ID2 codes. A 2.1 or 3.0 AS-inter-
face master enters in this case an “F” for each of the extended ID1 and ID2
codes.
Master configuration
Released configuration, without code sequences. The safety unit cannot turn on
the outputs, but as soon as the code sequences are learned, the device is usable.
Such a master configuration can for example be used in serial production ma-
chine building for loading the safety program, whereby the configuration is creat-
ed in the design and the code sequences taught on the physical machine.
Complete configuration
Counterpart to
⇒ master configuration. Release configuration including code se-
quences. The device is always usable.
