Function

The AS-Interface safety monitor compact with master function VAS/M-2A8L-KE4-6SE-EV is a control cabinet module with up to 6/3 local safe inputs and up to 6 independent outputs and disconnectable master.

The safe inputs can optionally be configured as standard inputs and signalling outputs. Two of the safe inputs are also suitable as inputs for OSSDs, the others only for potential-free contacts. Each safe input can also be configured as two standard inputs. 8 independent AS-Interface release circuits support multiple safe AS-Interface outputs on a single address. In addition, the test pulse outputs can be switched as diagnostic outputs (not control-safe). The safe circuit for the connected consumers is created using two safety relays.

The housing, which is only 22.5 mm wide, requires little space in the switch cabinet. The module is mounted by clicking it onto the 35 mm mouting rail, compliant with EN 50022.

The AS-Interface and external power supply are each connected by means of a 2-station terminal block. Connection of the inputs and outputs is by means of multiple 4-station terminal blocks. This permits the simple removal of the supply during commissioning or servicing. The supply to the connected slaves is fed either internally via the module from the AS-interface or via an external supply. For external supply via a standard power supply unit, the safety module has a decoupling function. The current status of the inputs and outputs is indicated via yellow LEDs. Communication faults are indicated via red LEDs. The display of the operating voltage and the address 0 is provided by a green LED.

An ethernet interface is used for configuration with the AS-i-Control Tools via ASIMON. The configuration can be transferred to a replacement device using a chip card.
