AS-Interface modules form the link between actuators/sensors and an AS-Interface. Modules with different numbers of inputs and outputs are available for control cabinets and field applications.
Different features can be used and up to 1000 I/O signals can be transmitted depending on the module type.
The motor control modules from the G20 family allow easy control of 24 V motor rollers. With a compact and innovative housing concept, G20 modules can be mounted directly in the mounting rail without tools and enable the installation of modular conveyor segments. The G20 modules are available for AS-Interface and as stand-alone devices with integrated logic for zero-pressure accumulation. Different product versions support motorized rollers with digital interfaces or integrated control boards from various manufacturers.
G10 modules
The world’s smallest AS-Interface module with IP68/IP69K protection needs no more than 8 cm³ for each I/O. The one-piece enclosure mounts quickly and securely with a single stainless steel screw. Just 20 mm high, the G10 fits easily in cable ducts. With an M12 connection via the cable output, no additional connections are necessary. The decentralized installation optimizes line lengths to sensors and actuators. The G10 is also ideal for applications that have just a few I/Os.
G11 modules
The field modules offer an innovative sealing concept in a round, compact design. The rugged modules are especially suitable for assembly machines and process automation applications.
Cleaning processes involving steam cleaners, high-pressure washdowns, and high mechanical stresses do not affect the performance of G11 modules. You can connect sensors and actuators to an AS-Interface quickly and easily, even under these harsh ambient conditions.
The G11 module offers the highest IP68/IP69k protection without molded components, and its smooth surface prevents accumulation of dirt.
The round design allows the flat cable to be aligned in any position.
The compact G11 module indicates an output overload at M12 ports. The outputs also have a high current load rating. The G11 module is compatible with “AS-Interface POWER24.”
G12 flat modules
Flat modules from the G12 series can be mounted quickly without using any tools. The flat module is fitted to the DIN mounting rail via a stainless steel quick action lock. The inputs and outputs are fitted with M12 quick-release connections, which allow you to attach and release the connectors with half a turn.
LEDs located directly on the connectors for the relevant channel speed up diagnostics. An output overload is indicated directly at the affected channel. The stainless steel half shell and cast enclosure ensure the most durability and a high degree of protection.
G16 compact modules
G16 series modules are available in two sizes (4 ports / 8 ports) and are perfect for applications where space is limited (for example, robotics, handling systems). M8 connectors used to connect sensors and actuators are compact and flexible.
G4 modules
The sensor is connected via a cable gland and spring-cage terminals.
The AS-Interface can be connected via flat cables or round cables if another lower section is used.
The G4 module can be mounted on DIN mounting rails or screwed on directly.
G2 flat modules
G2 modules are easy to connect and replace in the event of a fault. The modular system can be expanded at any time without requiring a qualified electrician.
The enclosure can be closed with a single screw and simultaneously connected to the flat cable. An addressing jack is already integrated. The flat cable can be inserted from two directions.
G1 pneumatic modules
G1 modules are pneumatic modules suitable for decentralized installation. Shorter compressed air lines reduce the power consumption and improve response times. This solution is more effective than centralized valve islands when used with compressed air lines more than 2 meters in length. The modules are fitted with two pneumatic outputs (2 … 8 bar) for a maximum of two valves. Different versions are available for air discharge via a sinter filter, directed air discharge in a stainless steel version, and with manual actuation. The modules are connected to the AS-Interface and powered by the AS-Interface or the auxiliary power supply.
KE modules
The KE module series offers a maximum of 4 inputs and 4 outputs on a device only 22.5 mm wide, saving space on the DIN mounting rail in the control cabinet. Color-coded removable terminals and labeling make connection safe and easy.
KE1 modules
The KE1 module has two rows of terminals, a height of only 50 mm, and is therefore ideal for installation in junction boxes. Modules are available with up to four inputs and four outputs.
KE2 models
This module is 22.5 mm wide but is even more compact than the space-saving KE module because it has an installation height of only 92 mm. The two-stage terminals have 16 contacts.
Circuit board modules are even more compact. These modules are available in several different versions, and even in a cast design. Individual solutions are extremely easy to implement as a result.
AS-Interface Switch Cabinet Module KE5 – Simple Handling and Improved Manageability
The unique housing design of the new KE5 switch cabinet module enables distinct visibility and simplifies mounting, wiring, and maintenance inside switch cabinets and junction boxes.
