Basic data of AS-Interface Specification 2.0 Expansions of AS-Interface Specification 3.0

• AS-Interface Specification 2.0 describes a fieldbus system
with an AS-i master and up to 31 AS-i slaves.
• Each AS-i slave has up to 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs.
• With full expansion, the complete transmission of all input/out-
put data requires max. 5 ms cycle time.
Expansions of AS-Interface Specification 2.1
AS-Interface Specification 2.1 enables the number of network
stations to be doubled from 31 to 62 as follows:
• The standard slaves continue to occupy one AS-i address
(1...31).
• Slaves with extended addressing divide an address into an A
address (1A...31A) and a B address (1B...31B). Up to 62 A/B
slaves can be connected accordingly
to one AS-Interface network.
• Mixed operation of standard slaves and A/B slaves is possible
without difficulty. The AS-i master identifies automatically
which type of slave is connected. No special adjustments are
required of the user.
Another function of the AS-Interface Specification V2.1 is the in-
tegrated analog value transmission function. Access to both an-
alog values and digital values is possible without the need for
any special function blocks.
• AS-Interface Specification 3.0 enables the connection of
nearly 1000 digital inputs/outputs (profile S-7.A.A: 8DI/8DO as
A/B slave).
• New profiles have also enabled the option of expanded ad-
dressing for analog slaves.
• Acceleration of analog value transmission through "Fast Ana-
log Profile".
• Variable use of analog modules: Optional parameterization of
resolution (12/14 bit) and 1- and 2-channel capability.
• Asynchronous serial protocol 100 baud or 50 baud, bidirec-
tional.
AS-Interface master for A/B slaves
To be able to operate A/B slaves on an AS-Interface network you
must use master modules that meet the minimum requirements
of Specification 2.1.

10 ms with 62 slaves, supplementary,
up to 20 ms with A/B slaves using 4DI/4DO,
up to 40 ms with A/B slaves using 8DI/8DO

Each address is queried in max. 5 ms cycle time. If two A/B
slaves are operated on one basic address (e.g. 12A and 12B), a
maximum 10 ms will be required for updating the data of both
slaves.
All slave types can be mixed and used on a single AS-Interface
network.
More information, e.g. whether an AS-Interface slave is a stan-
dard slave or an A/B slave, can be seen in the section "Selection
and ordering data" or the "AS-Interface system manual".

Compatibility of IO-Link Analog signals

IO-Link guarantees compatibility between IO-Link-capable Another advantage of IO-Link technology is that analog signals

• IO-Link sensors can be operated both on IO-Link modules transmitted by the IO-Link communication. As the result, faults

• IO-Link sensors/actuators as well as today's standard sen-
sors/actuators can be used on IO-Link masters.
• If conventional components are used in the IO-Link system,
then of course only the standard functions are available at this
point.

Enhanced through IO-Link input modules
IO-Link compatibility also permits connection of standard sen-
sors/actuators, i.e. conventional sensors/actuators can also be
connected to IO-Link. This is particularly effective with the IO-
Link input modules, which allow several sensors to be con-
nected at one time via a cable to the controller.

The structure of the protocol and its message frames depends on the
types of data to be transmitted.
Data types
In the IO-Link specification a distinction is made between the fol-
lowing data types:
Process data
The process data of the devices are transmitted cyclically in a
data frame, provided the process data width does not exceed 2
bytes. In the case of larger process data widths up to 32 bytes,
parts are transmitted one after the other in several cycles. As of
Version V1.1 of the specification, up to 32 bytes of process data
can be transferred in a single cycle.
IODD is the same for all devices from all manufacturers, and is
always presented in the same way by the IODD Interpreter Tools.
This therefore ensures that the handling is the same for all IO-
Link devices, whatever the manufacturer.
New in IO-Link specification 1.1
The IO-Link specification is currently available in Version 1.1,
and is currently standardized as IEC 61131-9 (CDV).
Specification 1.1 offers the following new features compared
with the previous specification 1.0:
• New variable M-sequences allow transmission of up to 32
bytes of process or service data in a single cycle.
• Data storage concept
