AS-interface System Description

AS-interface (commonly referred to as AS-I) is a low-level I/O system. It was originally intended to be a simple, low cost system that would be easy to install and maintain. With that philosophy in mind, the original developers designed AS-I as a discrete-only two wire system. It incorporated features like automatic station addressing, and power and data were carried on a single untwisted pair of wires.

Today. AS-I can be used as a stand alone network or can be connected to a higher level system, such as DeviceNet, or Profibus-DP, through a gateway. The gateway acts as a slave to the higher system and a master to the AS-I system.
