Applications
- AS-Interface data transmission: The module transmits data through the S7-1200 backplane bus and provides access to digital I/O data via process image/peripheral addresses.
- Analog I/O data access: The module provides access to analog I/O data via process diagram/peripheral addresses and data record transfer.
Key Features
- AS-Interface master: SIPLUS AS-Interface master based on CM 1243-2 for S7-1200 systems, supporting AS-i specification V 3.0 and master profile M4.
- AS-Interface I/O capacity: Up to 496 AS-Interface inputs and 496 AS-Interface outputs, with up to 62 AS-i devices per AS-Interface.
- Communication and configuration: Data transmission uses the S7-1200 backplane bus. Configuration is possible with STEP7 and a command interface.
- Connection and supply: The AS-Interface uses a screw-type connection, while voltage supply is provided via the backplane bus.
