AS-i Power supplies

What are AS-i Power supplies?

AS-i Power supplies are power sources for 2-wire communication controllers, including powering sensor devices. They are often used in factories and production process automation systems to enhance productivity, reduce installation time, and lower costs.

Features and Functions of AS-i Power supplies

• Provide the specified voltage, typically 24 V DC, to connected devices for proper operation.
• Aid communication between sensors and actuators through the AS-i network using just two wires for both power and data transmission.
• Simplify wiring complexity by using a single bus line for both power and data, reducing the hassle of wiring in control cabinets and installation.
• Support various device connections such as proximity sensors, switches, and actuators, making them versatile to use.
• Many models have diagnostic functions to help monitor network status and identify issues.
