SlimLine Compact AS-Interface modules SC17.5 and S22.5 with screw-type terminals

SlimLine Compact module SC22.5 with connector with screw terminals

The AS‑Interface module series for the control cabinet SlimLine Compact with degree of protection IP20 creates space in the cabinet and in distributed local boxes. A width of just 17.5 mm or 22.5 mm ensures considerable space savings in the control cabinet.

The SlimLine Compact module series comprises not only digital and analog I/O modules but also ASIsafe modules with safe inputs. Digital outputs are available as solid-state and relay outputs.

Sensors and actuators as well as the AS‑Interface bus cable are connected by means of removable screw or push-in spring-type terminals. Device connectors available as accessories offer the possibility of looping through the AS‑Interface bus cable and the 24 V DC voltage supply U_aux from one module to additional modules. This significantly simplifies the wiring, as the bus cable and U_aux only have to be connected to one device AS‑Interface.

All devices for the connection of 3-wire sensors offer the possibility of supplying the sensors either from the AS‑Interface bus cable or alternatively from the 24 V DC voltage supply U_aux depending on the requirements of the particular application. A slide switch is used to make the selection. If the supply via U_aux is selected, the wiring of the sensor terminals remains unchanged. This means that no external supply is necessary for the sensors.

All modules have LEDs on the front that provide diagnostic information and indicate the status of the module inputs and outputs. An addressing socket integrated at the front enables the module to be addressed also when it is installed. Integrated adapters permit mounting onto a standard mounting rail – either directly for the module or for the device connector. Alternatively, the modules can also be screw-mounted using push-in lugs (accessories). These lugs for screw fastening must be ordered separately.
