    9 Diagnostics Remove interrupt If a configured AS-i slave fails, a remove module interrupt is generated at the assigned slot. Insert interrupt When a configured AS-i slave returns, an insert module interrupt is generated at the assigned slot. Insert interrupt wrong module If the wrong AS-i slave returns (different from the configured slave), an insert interrupt wrong module is generated at the assigned slot.

The following types of module exist: − The active AS-i module with an integrated AS-i chip; using this, up to four conventional sensors and actuators can be connected.
  • Page 190 D Glossary Protected mode In protected mode, the IE/AS-i LINK exchanges data only with the configured AS-i slaves. ”Configured” means that the slave addresses stored on the IE/AS-i LINK and the configuration data match the values of the existing AS-i slaves. Actual configuration The actual configuration in volatile memory of the IE/AS-LINK.
