Cable
This transmits data and carries the power. It can be made up from:

Active distributors
IP67 sealed interfaces for connecting sensors/actuators using M12 connectors. These distributors are used to connect "traditional", non-communicating sensors/actuators.

Passive distributors
IP67 sealed interfaces for connecting sensors/actuators using M12 connectors. These distributors do not have any electronics and can therefore be used to connect the "communicating" sensors/actuators.
Illustration:
SB2 Telefast discrete inputs-outputs/bus interface
IP20 sealed interface with built-in AS-i function. It enables connection to all types of "traditional" non-communicating sensors/actuators via screw terminal blocks.

AS-i actuators
The direct motor starters and toggle switches in sealed boxes (IP54 and IP65) ensure electrical motors are controlled and protected up to 4KW at 400 V AC.

Bus Master
The AS-i bus master manages all data exchanges on the AS-i bus. In a Premium/Atrium PLC station, it is possible to integrate the TSX SAY 100 module for the AS-i bus or the TSX SAY 1000 module for the AS-i V2 bus.

AS-i Power Supply
AS-i dedicated power supply, designed to supply the components connected to the AS-i bus.
The distribution of this power supply uses the same medium as that used for data exchange.

Connecting and branching accessories
T-piece connectors are used to make connections to the AS-i bus. These are designed to connect to AS-i ribbon cables or to ribbon/round cable branches.
