Appendix: The First Commissioning of AS-i
What to do ?
See to it that the AS-i master is prop-
erly supplied with power.
After the self-test: the LEDs "power", "config err", "U ASI" and "prj mode" are on.
The figure display shows "40": the AS-i master is in the off-line phase. Shortly
after that a "41" will be displayed: the AS-i master stays in the detection phase.
Switch the device to the projecting
mode, if the yellow LED does not light
up.
The yellow LED "prj mode" lights up. The device is now in projecting mode.
Add a slave with the address 0 to the
AS-i line.
The green LED "ASI active" lights up. The figure display shows "0". This means
the AS-i master has detected the slave.
Change the slave address to address
1.
The AS-i master detects the slave with address 1 and displays "1".
Connect another slave with address 0
to the AS-i line and allocate the
address 2 to it.
The addresses of all slaves detected are now displayed sequentially.
Change to the protected operating
mode and store the AS-i configuration.
Subject to reasonable modifications due to technical advances.

Appendix: The First Commissioning of AS-i
In this chapter an example is given of how to put an AS-i network
into operation quickly and easily and without the need for external
devices. The addressing of the components connected to the AS-i
network can be performed directly on the AS-i master. It is of course
more comfortable to do the addressing with a hand-held program-
ming device or with the Windows software AS-i Control Tools. How-
ever, it is possible to configure even complex networks using only
the AS-i master.
AS-i/CC-Link Gateway
How to go about it?
Connect the AS-i power supply unit to
the terminals AS-i + and AS-i - of the
master, connect the ground terminal.
Turn on the power supply.
Press the "modeMODE"-button for
approx. five seconds.
Connect the slave's terminals with the
terminals AS-i +/- of the master.
Select address 1 by pressing the "set"
button shortly, if necessary repeatedly,
whereby after each operation the next
in each case free address is indicated.
When a "1" appears on the display
press the "set" button for approx. five
seconds until the display blinks. Press
again shortly the "set" button to assign
the new address to the slave.
Connect the slave to the AS-i line. The
addressing is the same as for the pre-
vious slave.
Leave the configuration mode by
pressing the "mode" button for at least
five seconds until the "prj mode" LED
goes out.
