AS-I SAW Bus System: Actuator Sensor Interface Safety at Work

Specs / Buy

AS-Interface SAW other wise known as Actuator Sensor Interface Safety At Work, is a Flexible, Simple and Efficient way to wire all your Inputs (Safety Switches, Limit Switches, ...) and Outputs (Solenoids, Stack Lights, LEDs, ...) let them be safe, non safe or even both back to your PLC, without affecting your safety category.

Two Copper Conductors that transmit the entire buss’s Power and Data, connect all your Safety Switches, Limit Switches, Proximity Switches, Stack lights, Light Curtains, Scanners, Pushbuttons, etc... in series back to a Programmable Safety Monitor. The Safety Monitor is programmed using the ASiMon program; ASiMon a simple yet valuable Drag and Drop program that take care of the logic for all your Safety Devices on the AS-I SAW bus.

All the Information on the AS-I SAW bus is collected by the Master AKA Scanner AKA Gateway and dumped onto the upper bus System; let it be Profibus, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, … The information collected by the master consists of the Status of every device connected on the AS-I bus system. Hence the Gateway is a Mediator in both directions between the PLC and rest of the Devices on the AS-I SAW bus.

AS-I SAW offers great diagnostic capability in it's capability of doing in depth diagnostics of all the safe and non safe Devices connected to it, some features:

Disconnecting a switch off the bus system, you can easily know which switch was disconnected.
If a device on the bus system fails, you are able to diagnose which one has.
...

All the diagnostics is achieved through the two copper conductors, talk about Efficiency and Flexibility. AS-I SAW is a low level bus system that enables you to communicate all your bit level devices in a Fast, Efficient, and Flexible Method.

AS-I Gateways with Internal Safety Monitors

AS-I Gateways send diagnostic information between the upper PLC and the AS-I SAW bus devices.

Its internal Safety Monitor means less space in your control board and more Diagnostic information on you LCD.

GMO

One Safety Monitor and Profibus Master in one device Generation II type of monitor offers enhanced programming functionality and Coupling Capability. A programmable memory Chip offers Fast and Simple Program download.

GMOx

Two Safety Monitor and Dual Masters in one device Generation III type of monitor offers enhanced programming functionality and holds up to 124 AS-I Devices. A programmable memory Chip offers fast and easy program download.

AS-I Safety Monitors

Single and dual channel safety monitors with 2 or more safety contacts.

SFM-A01:

Single-channel safety monitor with 2 safety contacts.

SFM-A02:

Dual-channel safety monitor with 4 safety contacts offers zoning capability.

SFM-B02:

Dual-channel monitor with 4 safety contacts.

SFM-C12:

Small, freely programmable, safe control system.

AS-I Output Safety Module

Connects to Generation III Safety Monitors to offer additional Safety Outputs:

SMO:

Safety Output Module. Connects to the AS-I SAW bus and is Controlled by the Programmable Safety Monitor.

SMOx:

EUCHNER’s newly released SMOx is a combination of two safety monitors that observes your safety devices diagnostic screen.

AS-I Non-Contact

All EUCHNER Non Contact Devices can be wired up to the AS-I SAW bus through the use of one of the two AS-I SAW Non Contact Modules:

CES...-01B

This Non Contact Module has one Input and one Output used for the CES, CET and CEM. The Input checks for the Gate’s location and the Outputs Locks the Door in case the CET or CEM is being used.

CES...-04B

This non Contact Module has Four Inputs and is used for the CES.

CMS-R-BZB

This non contact read head is made to work with ASI.

AS-I Enabling Switches

Enabling Safety Switches AKA Live Man Switch AKA Dead Man Switch:

ZSA:

3-Way Enabling AS-I Safety Switch with IP 67 Rating.

ZSB:

3-Way Enabling AS-I Safety Switch with 2 Jog buttons for Axes.

AS-I E-Stop

Emergency stop function is intended to avert an impending hazard for personnel, damage to machine or work in progress, or to alleviate existing hazards, and that is to be triggered by a single user action

E-stop:

Connects to the AS-I SAW bus

AS-I Safety Switches

EUCHNER Offers a Wide Variety of AS-I Safety Switches, that range from Design Type 1 to Type 2, from All Metal to All Plastic to Plastic with Metal Heads and from Locking to None locking.

Design Type 1:

Are Switches that are enabled or Disabled by having the Actuator travel along a Surface (most cases a Trip Dog), hence the Actuator and the Switch are connected.
