About us
At a Glance
Control Expert software offers a catalog of Schneider products which groups together all of the AS-i V2 slaves that are available. This catalog is currently structured according to the following families :
Selecting Private Family enables you to manage a specific AS-i device catalogue file via its programming terminal.
NOTE: A project using AS-i products from the Private Family catalog is always linked to the usage of the same Private Family catalog of the workstation on which the catalog was created.
Procedure
This operation is used to declare a slave device on the AS-i bus.
Step
Action
1
Open the AS-i module to be configured.
2
Access the configuration screen by clicking the Configuration tab.
3
In the AS-interface configuration area, double click in the cell corresponding to the new slave’s host slot number (1 to 31), or select the cell then click Edit → Add an AS-i Slave.
Result: The screen Associate Profile appears.
4
In the Profile Families area, select the required family.
Result: The Profile Catalog linked to the selected family appears.
Note: It is normal that the following products or families have been removed since they are no longer manufactured, nor marketed:
  • Signaling and control (code 7)
  • Inductive proximity detector (code 11)
  • Modular IP67 M12 interface (code 3)
  • IP67 M12 interface (code 10)
  • IP67 M8 interface (code 15)
