Features:
- Controls one AS-i network while acting as a PROFIBUS DP slave toward the plant controller.
- Displays network states and diagnostic information on a backlit local graphic screen.
- Supports both standard slaves and extended A/B addressing within the AS-i 2.1 architecture.
The ordered unit is the single-master SmartLink DP version with integrated local operation.
It concentrates sensor and actuator data from the AS-i cable into the PROFIBUS process image.
Commissioning should begin with the saved bus address, GSD assignment and slave configuration from the existing station.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Packaging machines can collect distributed binary field signals on one AS-i segment and forward them to a PROFIBUS controller.
- Conveyor zones use the gateway to combine compact actuator networks with established DP-based line control.
- Service teams can inspect slave faults locally before opening controller engineering software.
- PROFIBUS DP exchanges cyclic plant data at selectable rates up to 12 Mbit/s.
- The AS-i master addresses as many as 62 extended A/B nodes on one network.
- A front-access RS-232 port supports service communication from 9600 to 115200 bit/s.
- The graphic LCD presents configuration and fault information without requiring an external display.
- Four status LEDs provide immediate indication of gateway and bus operating states.
- Keypad navigation allows maintenance personnel to inspect the connected AS-i system locally.
- Controller integration uses the device description and the selected PROFIBUS station address.
- Extended-address operation must match the A/B assignments already stored for the field nodes.
- A saved slave list reduces commissioning risk when replacing a gateway in an operating machine.
