Extension plug doubles network reach
The novel Siemens AS-i Extension Plug can double the range of an AS-interface network to 200m.
The novel Siemens AS-i Extension Plug can double the range of an AS-interface network to 200m Siemens is one of the leading suppliers of AS-interface products in Europe, and its latest innovation is the AS-i Extension Plug
Now available from LC Automation, it effectively doubles the range of each AS-interface segment to 200m without using repeaters or additional power supplies.
This cost effective AS-interface solution helps expand the range of possible network applications; and because it doesn't require an additional power supply, it also saves valuable installation time.
The unit also includes an undervoltage detection circuit to monitor the AS-interface voltage, and an LED indicates whether the required voltage is still available at the end of the 200m AS-interface cable.
As a result, an AS-interface network can be expanded up to a maximum of 600m with repeaters. Request a free brochure from LC Automation ...
