IFM ASI AC2315-2317 Series Valve Position Sensor

Technical Features

AS-i (Actuator Sensor Interface) connects the entire valve system to the network.

Non-contact detection of the open and closed positions of quarter-turn valves.

An AS-i network can connect up to 62 quarter-turn valves and 62 solenoid valves.

Can be connected to DeviceNet, Profibus, and Ethernet.

Uses a 2-wire cable to replace parallel wiring, simultaneously transmitting data and power.

Benefits Introduce In Detail

Integrated AS-i network connection for pneumatic valves

Tank farms and valve-manifold applications require a large number of feedback devices. These devices and the monitoring of valve positions are connected to a PLC. With the increasing use of valves and the extreme compression of usable space in industrial plants, wiring has become increasingly time-consuming, and troubleshooting has become more and more difficult. To reduce wiring, a simple solution is to implement an AS-i network system.

AS-i uses only one 2-wire cable to network the entire valve system, thereby completely eliminating bundles of wires. The valve position sensors with AS-i connection can provide an integrated connection for the solenoid valves. A single 2-wire AS-i cable is used to connect to the control device.

This solution can remotely indicate the valve status and can be connected to higher-level bus systems via DeviceNet, Profibus, and Ethernet. A single AS-i master station can connect up to 62 quarter-turn valve feedback devices and 62 solenoid valves.

Connection to higher-level bus systems
Non-contact detection of valve position
The sensor and target puck feature a compact design, with dimensions only 1/4 the size of a switch box
Uses the output for solenoid valves
Can be mounted on all ISO standard actuators
