Press release date: November 23, 2006
Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) is expanding its product portfolio of devices for ASIsafe. The additions include the new DP/AS-i F-Link, an ASIsafe K45F (4F-DI) compact module, and the ASIsafe position switches of the 3SE5 series.
The DP/AS-i F-Link is a device for the seamless integration of ASIsafe slaves into Profisafe environments. It collects the signals of binary safety sensors at the field level and forwards these to the higher Profibus level. The device thus creates a safety-related gateway from Profibus to AS-lnterface. As a full AS-i master in accordance with the new AS-i specification 3.0, the DP/AS-i F-Link also covers all slave profiles as well as controlling bidirectional communication of binary and analog standard data. With integration into Simatic Step 7, users can configure ASIsafe slaves along the lines of Profisafe. The DP/AS-i F-Link can now also be integrated into Profinet architectures through operation in fail-safe controllers as S7-315F PN/DP.
The new ASIsafe K45F 4F-DI compact module offers twice as many safe inputs in the same housing as its predecessor version, allowing the connection of two devices for Cat. 4/SIL 3, such as two emergency-stop switches or position switches. This reduces costs and saves space in the plant.
The new generation of ASIsafe position switches of the 3SE5 series saves space by integrating the entire ASIsafe electronics into the housings of all the individual types.
The ASIsafe versions of the position switches with tumblers only require connection of the yellow data cable, thus dispensing with an additional, external power supply. By these advantages the user can space-savingly use the equipment in the plant.
