Function
The maximum cable length in an AS-Interface
line is 100 m. There is often a great distance
to the modules in the field, when the power
supply unit is located in the cabinet. When an
AS-Interface power extender is used, the dis-
tance between the power supply unit and the
power extender is not included in the calcula-
tion of the bus length. Instead of an AS-Inter-
face power supply unit, a standard power
supply unit with an output voltage of 30 V in
accordance with AS-Interface specifications
can be used. The AS-Interface master and
slaves are only usable on the side of the
power extender opposite to the power supply
unit (AS-Interface output).
The AS-Interface power extender is located in
an IP67 rated field housing. Small decentrali-
zed AS-Interface networks can easily be
arranged together with IP67 rated AS-Inter-
face gateways.
Depending on the lead resistance and the
current, a voltage drop between the power
supply unit and the AS-Interface power exten-
der occurs. The AS-Interface power extender
indicates the AS-Interface voltage on the out-
put, in two stages (see technical data) by
means of two LEDs. It has to be ensured that
actuators are supplied with the permissible
voltage tolerance of 24 V +10%/-15%, as is
the case with all AS-Interface circuits. A rule-
of-thumb formula for the AS-Interface cable
length relative to the AS-Interface voltage is:
AS-Interface voltage > 28 V: approx. 80 m
cable length,
AS-Interface voltage > 26 V: approx. 60 m
cable length.
Note:
The AS-Interface power extender contains a
data decoupling for a maximum current of 4 A
at 30 V AS-Interface voltage.
