Features:
- Dual AS-i integration: Two master channels consolidate field-device networks into one gateway platform.
- PROFINET connection: The controller-facing interface exchanges mapped process and diagnostic data with the automation system.
- SmartPLC functions: Local processing and web diagnostics make the stored project and network configuration part of the replacement scope.
AC1402 is used where AS-Interface sensors and actuators must be integrated with a PROFINET controller and plant Ethernet services.
The two AS-i masters have independent device populations and addressing that must be captured before hardware changeout.
Acceptance checks both field circuits, controller data mapping, alarms and authorized engineering access on the final network.

- Address record: Preserve the gateway identity, subnet and PROFINET device name before removal.
- Duplicate prevention: Bench-test on an isolated segment or with an approved temporary address.
- Controller mapping: Compare process data and diagnostics with the PLC hardware configuration.
- Access control: Apply site-approved credentials, routing and engineering-access rules.
- Master separation: Inventory and test the two AS-i circuits independently.
- Device addressing: Confirm every slave address and profile against the saved project.
- Power check: Verify AS-i supply condition and polarity before connecting field segments.
- Fault localization: Use channel diagnostics to separate gateway, power, cable and slave faults.
- Backup scope: Save the SmartPLC application, parameters and network configuration.
- Version record: Document firmware and engineering-tool versions used by the operating system.
- Service proof: Test PROFINET, web access and any enabled Ethernet protocol separately.
- Rollback plan: Keep the original hardware and verified files until the complete machine test passes.
- Machine sensor networks: Connects two AS-i field segments to a PROFINET controller.
- Conveyor systems: Aggregates distributed sensors and actuators with gateway diagnostics.
- Packaging lines: Integrates AS-i device groups into plant automation and maintenance access.
- Gateway replacement: Restores a documented SmartPLC project and its fieldbus mappings.
