Master+Gateways

Image

The master with gateway-function controls the AS-Interface system and transmits process data to all types of higher-level control in a standardized I/O map. The AS-Interface adopts the role of a conventional I/O card in the controller, which allows a simple changeover to the AS-Interface system. The stainless steel master/gateway manages communication with the slaves and informs the PLC of faults. All diagnostic information from the field I/O and the safety system can be transmitted to a higher level control system. The safety logic of a master with safety monitor can be set either by a safe PLC or decentralized via the configuration software VAZ-SW-SIMON +.
