The CM 1243‑2 supports all specified functions of the AS-Interface Specification V3.0.
The values of the digital AS-i slaves can be addressed via the process image of the S7-1200. During configuration of the slaves in the TIA Portal, the values of the analog AS-i slaves can also be accessed directly in the process image.
It is also possible to exchange all data of the AS-i master and the connected AS-i slaves with the S7‑1200 via the data record interface.
Changeover of the operating mode, automatic application of the slave configuration and the re-addressing of a connected AS-i slave can be implemented via the control panel of the CM 1243-2 in the TIA Portal.
The optional DCM 1271 data decoupling module (see "Power supplies and data decoupling units") has an integrated detection unit for detecting ground faults on the AS‑Interface cable. The integrated overload protection also disconnects the AS-Interface cable if the drive current required exceeds 4 A.
