The AS-Interface master terminal is an extended master according to profile M3 and enables the direct connection of AS-Interface slaves. The AS-Interface-compliant interface supports digital and analog slaves, versions 2.0 and 2.1, safety slaves and slaves with Combined Transaction Type 1 (profile S-7.3 and 7.4). Process data exchange, parameterization and the diagnosis are fieldbus-independent. Together with the different Bus Couplers, the KL6201 represents a universal AS-Interface/fieldbus gateway. Together with the BK3120, the PROFIBUS DP V1 services can be used for communication with the KL6201.
