AS-Interface

AS-Interface, short for Actuator Sensor Interface (ASi), is a simple and cost-effective wiring technology for sensors and actuators in the field. Both the power supply and the data transmission are carried out via a two-core, reverse polarity protected flat cable. ASi devices are connected simply and flexibly using piercing technology—without additional connectors and at any point along the flat cable.
