Learn more about the operating principle and functional safety of AS-i safety at work here.

Do you have applications in hazardous areas?
Then AS-Interface hazardous areas is the right choice.

Choose AS-Interface masters if you want to transfer the further processing of the signals to higher-level systems

  • Gateway to higher-level fieldbuses (Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT
  • CODESYS PLC functionality in the DataLine devices
  • Operation via 1.8" color display or web interface
    • Fault indication in real time: current and historical
  • Double address detection
  • Battery-backed real-time clock including NTP support

Would you like to collect many signals in the field/ control cabinet effortlessly, or switch valves, lamps or other actuators? Then opt for the input and output modules with many features for easy and quick installation. Check out the tooless mounting technology that the ClassicLine offers.
