More Information

Overview Manuals Network Planning AS-i Commissioning Project Control Product Applications

Features:

  • Single-master gateway: One AS-i network is integrated with a PROFINET controller.
  • Ethernet diagnostics: Web and TCP/IP services support configuration and fault localization.
  • Project-dependent service: Network identity, slave mapping and SmartPLC content must accompany replacement planning.
The gateway is used where distributed AS-i sensors and actuators must exchange data with a PROFINET automation system.

Its one-master architecture keeps the field segment distinct while Ethernet services expose controller data and diagnostics.

A controlled replacement validates power, slave discovery, process mapping, alarms and authorized engineering access before release.

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.
  • Device identity: Record the PROFINET device name, IP settings and controller assignment.
  • Duplicate prevention: Bench-test on an isolated segment or with an approved temporary identity.
  • Data mapping: Compare process and diagnostic bytes with the controller hardware configuration.
  • Access policy: Apply site-approved credentials, routing and engineering-access rules.
  • Slave inventory: Preserve every address and profile from the operating AS-i segment.
  • Power verification: Confirm auxiliary and AS-i supplies separately before connecting field devices.
  • Segment proof: Resolve cable, power and addressing faults before testing controller mapping.
  • Diagnostic review: Confirm the gateway reports the expected device population without unexpected alarms.
  • Backup scope: Save the SmartPLC application, parameters and network configuration.
  • Version record: Document firmware and engineering-tool versions used by the operating gateway.
  • Change trace: Record temporary addresses and every modification made during commissioning.
  • Rollback plan: Keep verified files and original hardware available until the system test passes.
  • Machine sensor networks: Connects an AS-i field segment to a PROFINET controller.
  • Conveyor systems: Aggregates distributed sensors and actuators with gateway diagnostics.
  • Packaging lines: Integrates AS-i devices into plant automation and maintenance access.
  • Gateway replacement: Restores a documented SmartPLC project and its fieldbus mappings.
Description
AC1401 connects one AS-Interface field network to a PROFINET control environment while providing SmartPLC processing and diagnostic access.

AC1401 supports PROFINET, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP and UDP/IP services, with separate auxiliary and AS-i supply ranges for cabinet installation.

AC1401 commissioning should preserve the gateway project, device name, network settings and AS-i slave map before any hardware exchange.
Alternative Names

Technical notes
AC1401 bridges a complete field network to Ethernet, so one naming or mapping error can affect many devices. Back up the SmartPLC project, isolate the test segment to prevent duplicate identity, verify AS-i power and slave addressing, and prove PROFINET process data plus diagnostics before production traffic is restored.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
An AC1401 replacement appears on Ethernet but the PLC has no data. What should be compared?
Check the PROFINET device name, controller hardware configuration, slot mapping and project download before changing field wiring.
AC1401 reports missing AS-i slaves after replacement. Which evidence should be checked first?
Compare slave addresses and profiles, AS-i power, segment polarity and cable condition with the saved project and field inventory.
Can AC1401 use the production identity while the original gateway remains online during bench testing?
No. Use an isolated segment or approved temporary settings to prevent duplicate device identity and unintended network traffic.
Does restoring the AC1401 project complete the acceptance test?
No. Verify AS-i discovery, PROFINET mapping, diagnostics, web access and every dependent machine function under controlled conditions.
AC1401 shows healthy field devices but stale PLC values. Where should diagnosis continue?
Inspect process-data mapping, controller configuration, update state and network path rather than replacing functioning AS-i devices.
A cybersecurity review is planned after AC1401 commissioning. Can unrestricted engineering access remain temporarily?
Follow the site access policy from the start because temporary open access can expose the automation network and weaken change control.
