AS-i Sensors

What are AS-i sensors?

AS-i sensors are networked communication sensors controlled by the controller, such as actuators and sensors in industrial automation systems.

Generally, AS-i Sensors are used in industries that require control and monitoring of various processes, such as position detection, distance measurement, temperature or pressure of machines in automated systems.

Key Features of AS-i Sensors

• Sensors in the AS-i system have easy connectivity using a single cable for both data and power transmission, reducing installation complexity.
• Multiple sensors can be connected to a network via an AS-i line and send data to the controller or PLC.
• No separate wires are needed for data transfer and power supply, simplifying the system.
• High flexibility allows easy addition or replacement of devices in the system without additional wiring.
• In some models, they support working with the AS-i Safety at Work system to work with safety equipment such as emergency stop switches or safety barriers.
