3RX9010-0AA00 Siemens Cable for use with Micro Automation Set

AS-I Cable_x000D_ A 2 core cabe designed to connect AS-i devices. The yellow cable supplies 30Vdc power to sensors and transfwers data and the black cable can be used for 24Vdc actuators. A trapezoidal cross section is used to prevent polarity reversal._x000D_ Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-I)_x000D_ Actuator Sensor Interface, AS-I_x000D_ AS-I is a method of providing communication from simple discrete components such as an inductive sensor or switching valve via a simple two-wire network to a controlling device such as a PLC or PC._x000D_ A unique feature of the AS-I system is the flat, two-core cable (stock no 242-6189) designed to enable fast and easy connection, ensuring correct polarity every time. The cable can be used in a network up to 100m (300m if repeaters are used)._x000D_ By providing power and data down the same cable, the amount of time normally used to connect sensors and actuators is dramatically reduced, thereby providing savings in cable requirements and man-hours._x000D_ The choice of AS-I connection modules enables the user to connect standard sensors/actuators to the BUS with all the address benefits of using dedicated sensors/actuators. It also serves to increase the number of I/O nodes that are available to the user by the use of addressable splitter boxes. The connection modules are available in a variety of packages and can accommodate up to 4 inputs and 4 outputs. This enables up to 124 inputs and 124 outputs to be connected to a single AS-I network._x000D_ Another feature of AS-I system is the method by which the sensors or modules communicate with the host. The design of the communications protocol ensures high data accuracy and error detection capabilities, making the ASI system ideal for automation in noisy and industrial environments._x000D_ Benefits of AS-I_x000D_ Replaces hard wiring_x000D_ High data speed_x000D_ Low cost installation_x000D_ Intelligent diagnostics_x000D_ Easy to learn and install_x000D_ Highly flexible_x000D_ Can connect to other fieldbus systems_x000D_ User-friendly_x000D_ Off-site pre-assembly and test_x000D_ Easy maintenance_x000D_ Faster on-site commissioning_x000D_ Host or stand alone use_x000D_ Able to use standard sensors and actuators (using modules)
