DP/AS-Interface Link 20E
Actuator-Sensor-Interface
■ Overview
DP/AS-Interface Link 20E con-
nects PROFIBUS-DP to AS-In-
terface. It supersedes DP/AS-
Interface Link 20 and features
the following functions:
• PROFIBUS-DP slave and
AS-Interface master
• Up to 62 AS-Interface slaves
can be connected and inte-
grated analog value transfer
is provided (according to the
expanded AS-Interface spec-
ification V2.1).
■ Application
DP/AS-Interface Link 20E is a
PROFIBUS-DP slave (accord-
ing to EN 50170) and an AS-In-
terface master (according to
■ Design
• Compact enclosure to the
IP 20 degree of protection for
mounting onto standard rails.
• LEDs in the front panel for in-
dication of the operational
state and the operational
readiness of all connected
and activated slaves.
■ Operation
DP/AS-Interface Link 20E ena-
bles a DP master to access all
the slaves of an AS-Interface
segment. In accordance with
the expanded specification
(V2.1), up to 62 slaves each
with 4 inputs and 3 outputs can
be connected.
■ Configuration
DP/AS-Interface Link 20E can
be configured on PROFIBUS
using STEP 7 or COM PROFI-
BUS.
■ Designed for Industry
• Installation costs are re-
duced because all power is
supplied from the AS-Inter-
face cable so no additional
1/34
• All AS-Interface master func-
tions are supported in ac-
cordance with the extended
AS-Interface specification
V2.1, i.e. master class M1e.
• An additional power supply is
not required, because power
is supplied from the AS-Inter-
face cable
EN 50 295) and allows AS-Inter-
face to be operated on PROFI-
BUS-DP.
• The PROFIBUS-DP address
can be set at the press of a
button.
• LED indication of the PROFI-
BUS-DP slave address, DP
bus error and diagnostics.
DP/AS-Interface Link 20E re-
serves, as standard, 32 bytes of
input data and 32 bytes of out-
put data in the DP master in
which the I/O data of the con-
nected AS-Interface slaves
The type files and device mas-
ter files are also supplied with
the manual which enables con-
figuration even in the case of
versions in which
power supply unit is required.
Link_20e
Simple PROFIBUS masters can
exchange I/O data cyclically
with AS-Interface and masters

change I/O data and perform

configuration as the desired
configuration.
is stored. The I/O buffer can be
compressed so that only the
necessary memory space of
the master is reserved.
DP/AS-Interface Link 20E is not
yet integrated as standard.
• Installation time is shortened
due to easy configuring at the
press of a button
master calls. DP/AS-Interface
Link 20E cannot be implement-
ed in combination with the ex-
tender.
• Power is supplied from the
AS-Interface shaped cable.
PROFIBUS-DP masters can al-
so activate AS-Interface master
calls via the non-cyclic PROFI-
BUS utilities (e.g.: for writing
parameters, modifying ad-
dresses or reading diagnostic
values).
For AS-Interface, no special
configuration is necessary; start-
up is also possible before
PROFIBUS is installed.
• The standstill time or service
time resulting from failure of a
slave is reduced due to LED
indication

Actuator-Sensor-Interface
■ Overview
• Direct connection of
Actuator-Sensor-Interface
to PROFIBUS-DP
• IP 65 degree of protection
• DP/AS-Interface Link allows
the Actuator-Sensor-Inter-
face to be used as a sub-net-
work for PROFIBUS-DP
■ Application
Direct connection of
Actuator-Sensor-Interface to
PROFIBUS-DP.
DP/AS-Interface Link allows the
Actuator-Sensor-Interface to be
used as a sub-network for
PROFIBUS-DP
■ Design
• Cast aluminium enclosure to
the IP 65 degree of protec-
tion.
• This meets the requirements
of the standard
"Enclosures for Electrical
Equipment UL 50, Type 4"
with regard to sealing against
water penetration and is suit-
able for –25 °C to +60 °C.
■ Operation
DP/AS-Interface Link connects
PROFIBUS-DP to AS-Interface
to the IP 65 degree of protec-
tion.
■ Parameterization
Up to 31 AS-Interface slaves
can be connected to DP/AS-In-
terface Link. DP/AS-Interface
Link is therefore, from the view-
point of PROFIBUS-DP, a modu-
lar slave with up to 31 modules.
Siemens NS K · 2002
• The advantages of PROFI-
BUS-DP and AS-Interface are
then ideally combined in a
common bus system
This link can be connected to
any PROFIBUS-DP master that
is capable of processing pa-
rameterization and diagnostic
telegrams of 32 bytes in length
(e.g. IM 308 C, S5-95U/
DP-Master or SIMATIC S7).
• Diagnostics indication on the
cover for the PROFIBUS-DP
and AS-Interface sections.
• The bus address can be set
via a DIL switch or EEPROM.
The ET 200 handheld unit can
be used to set the address in
the EEPROM.
DP/AS-Interface Link can be
connected to any PROFIBUS-
DP master that is able to output
parameterization messages
with a size of 140 bytes.
DP/AS-Interface Link is, like all
other components of the ET 200
distributed I/O system, an inte-
gral component of the COM
PROFIBUS parameterization
software and STEP 7.
