AS-i Safety Monitor for 2 AS-i circuits
Glossary: As-i terms
Release Code
Security code for a safety configuration on the chip card. A 4-character hex
number generated by the ASIMON software. The release code is displayed be-
fore copying a configuration from the memory card to the Monitor and must be re-
peated by the operator.
This provides a technical safeguard against errors in the unprotected display and
keyboard software.
Single Slave
A single slave can in contrast to a
⇒ A/B slave only be addressed from range 1 to
31; the fourth output data bit can be used. All slaves as defined by the older AS-i
Specification 2.0 are single slaves.
There are however also single slaves as defined by Specification 2.1, for example
the new 16 bit slaves.
Slave profile
Configuration data for a slave, consisting of:
⇒ I/O configuration and ⇒ ID-Code, as well as ⇒ extended ID1-Code and ⇒ ex-
tended ID2-Code.
The slave profile is used to distinguish between various slave classes. It is speci-
fied by the AS-i Association and set by the slave manufacturer.
AS-i 2.0 slaves do not have extended ID1 and ID2 codes. A 2.1 or 3.0 AS-inter-
face master enters in this case an “F” for each of the extended ID1 and ID2
codes.
