Possibility to connect an AS-Interface master to the Core?

[ericvergara]

Hello,

We have a customer that uses the AS-Interface bus in order to connect all the I/Os of their plant,

Is there a possibility and how to connect an AS-I Master to a ctrlX Core network?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,
did you already consider the support of Ethercat ASi Gateway...? I am not familiar, eventually a collegue can support...

Hello CodeWasi,

Thanks for the answer. Yes, we already know that we can connect a gateway between the AS-I Master and the ctrlX Core but we were wondering if is there another way,

Anyway thanks!

What solution did your customer end up with? We have a possible end user project that requires an AS-I master.

Hello ropper,

We used this IFM Gateway to exchange the data with a Core: https://www.ifm.com/de/en/product/AC432S?tab=details

Also this gateway can work as a Safety PLC,
