How to Define a Slave Device on the AS-i V2 Bus
(Original Document)
About us
At a Glance
Control Expert software offers a catalog of Schneider products that groups together all available AS-i V2 slaves. This catalog is currently structured according to the following families :
Selecting Private family enables the user to enhance the Control Expert catalog with specific AS-i products 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 V2 bus.
Step
Action
1
Access the AS-i module hardware configuration screen.
2
In the field AS-interface V2 configuration, double click in the cell corresponding to the new slave host slot number (1A to 31A or 1B to 31B) or select this cell, then execute the command Edit → Add an AS-i slave.
Result: The screen Associate Profile appears.
3
In the field AS-i family name select the required family.
Result: The Profile catalog associated with the selected family appears.
Column legend @ :
std: Standard address slave (for configuration in column /A).
A/B: Extended address slave (for configuration in columns /A or /B).
Note: It is normal that the following products or families have been removed since they are no longer manufactured or 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)
  • Keyboard (code 5)
  • Photoelectric detector (code 9)
  • The XVA-S102 products of luminous columns (code 6)
The products are still listed, but access via families only has been removed. It is no longer possible to add the above products, but if the application was using them, then these products will appear on the configuration screen (no blanks) and everything will operate normally.
4
In the Profile catalog select the required device.
5
Confirm the selection with OK.
Result: The slave device is defined in its slot, the reference of the connected device appears opposite the number of the slave.
6
To connect other slave devices on the AS-i V2 bus, repeat the procedure from step 2.
Configuration Rules
The configuration rules for the slaves are as follows:
A maximum of 62 extended or 31 standard address slaves can be configured.
A validity check is performed during slave entry. A message like the one below will be displayed if this is not possible:
NOTE: An analog slave must be configured as a standard address slave (in the /A Slaves column), which prohibits the use of the slot immediately to its right (in the /B Slaves column).
