AS-International Association - ASi-5
Although the ASi-5 was introduced a year and a half ago, the entire system and its features have only been available since the beginning of this year. Cost benefits, easy installation, and networking with AS-Interface can be used in many new machines and systems. The ASi-5 can collect and power 96 IO-Link devices at a distance of up to 200 m. So, only one Ethernet address is needed for these 96 devices. The ASi-5 is the latest phase of innovation of the well-tested AS-Interface standard ASi-5 offers the following improvements:
- Data and power transmission using a single-core straight-through cable
- Feel free to choose a topology without expensive switches
- Accessible noise-resistant system that does not require protection
- ASi Security and ASi-5 easily work together
