This transmits data and carries the power. It can be made up from:
-
either an unshielded, polarized twin-wire AS-i ribbon cable.
-
Or a standard round, shielded or unshielded twin-wire cable.

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.

Photo-electric detectors:
They ensure that all kinds of objects (opaque, reflective etc.) are detected with 5 basic systems: barrier, reflex, polarized reflex, proximity and proximity with background blanked out. They offer an IP67 protection level.
-
Inductive proximity detectors:
They detect all metal objects and provide information for the functions used to check whether an object is present or not. They offer an IP67 protection level.

Man-machine interface products
-
Button boxes:
These are made up of dialog tools, which are adapted to exchanging information between the operator and machine.
-
Keyboards:
Man/machine dialog tools, these have 12 touch sensitive keys. The information delivered is coded in BCD on 4 bits. They offer an IP65 protection level.

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 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.
