The AC1402 is a dual-master AS-Interface to PROFINET gateway designed for industrial Ethernet automation systems. It connects two AS-i master networks with a PROFINET-based controller architecture. The dual-master design supports larger distributed field-device installations. It enables AS-i sensors and actuators to communicate with modern PLC systems through PROFINET. The gateway is suitable for scalable machine and factory automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The two-master architecture allows multiple AS-i field networks to be integrated into one PROFINET automation environment. This provides additional flexibility for larger machines and production systems. The gateway transfers process data between AS-i devices and the PROFINET controller. It helps maintain decentralized field wiring while providing centralized PLC access. The architecture supports scalable system design. It is suitable for system integrators working with complex automation installations.
Network diagnostics help engineers identify communication issues during commissioning and maintenance. The gateway can serve as a central communication point for the connected AS-i networks. This simplifies troubleshooting across multiple field-device groups. It supports structured maintenance procedures. The architecture can reduce the effort involved in integrating multiple AS-i networks. It is suitable for continuous industrial automation environments.
