The AS-International Association was founded in 1991 as a user group for manufacturers and users of the AS-Interface® system. The task of the User Group is to promote bus-compatible interfaces for binary sensors and actuators. The AS-Interface solution is more an intelligent cabling system than a true fieldbus, allowing simple sensors and actuators to be linked together through a 2-wire bus including the supply voltage at a cost which has no competition. The stated goal is to become the worldwide industry standard on the lower field level.
A new version of the AS-Interface, ASi-5, has been released to provide a backward-compatible means of connecting field-level I/O devices to control systems and the cloud.
The AS-International Association has announced the release of a new Developer Kit for AS-interface (AS-i). This toolkit is the first step towards integrating AS-i into a device...
Now sanctioned by global industry standards, safety networks are increasingly desirable in the U.S. Here’s how both process industry users and manufacturing machine users benefit...
