7.12.5.1

Connecting the AS-i mounting module

To enable communication via an AS-Interface, the AS-i mounting module must first be
installed on the compact starter (24 V). Then the AS-i mounting module can be connected to
the AS-Interface using the AS-i cable.

Connecting the AS-Interface

Connection method
The following cables are required:
● AS-Interface cable.
● 24 VDC AUX PWR cable for supplying the final controlling element
In order for the cables to be secured within the connectors, they must have a conductor
cross-section of 2 x (0.5 ... 0.75) mm
ESD directives
ESD components are destroyed by voltage and energy far below the limits of human
perception. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a device or an assembly is touched by a
person who is not electrostatically discharged. ESD components which have been subject to
such voltage are usually not recognized immediately as being defective, because the
malfunction does not occur until after a longer period of operation.
NOTICE
Damage to the AS-i mounting module from electrostatic charging!
The AS-i mounting contains components sensitive to electrostatic charge. These modules
will be destroyed or damaged by improper handling.
• You must discharge your body electrostatically immediately before touching an
• Always hold the component by the plastic enclosure.
• Electronic modules should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating
• Always place electrostatic sensitive devices on conductive bases.
• Always store and transport electronic modules or components in ESD-safe conductive
