Features:
- One AS-i master maps field-device data into a PROFINET IO device.
- Two Ethernet ports connect the gateway to the configured PROFINET path.
- A display and status indicators separate AS-i, network, and device conditions.
Siemens 6GK1411-2AB10 exchanges AS-i process data and diagnostics with the PROFINET controller.
Profiles M3 and M4 let 6GK1411-2AB10 manage the documented AS-i V3.0 slave functions.
STEP 7 assigns the device name, bus layout, and process-data mapping used by 6GK1411-2AB10.
The Siemens 6GK1411-2AB10 IE/AS-i Link PN IO Gateway may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

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.
Slave Bus Organization
- Master role: One integrated master controls the AS-i network under specification V3.0.
- Slave count: Up to 62 addressed slaves share the configured AS-i bus.
- Profiles: M3 and M4 functions define the supported slave data and parameter services.
- Cycle time: The documented scan is 5 ms for 31 slaves and 10 ms for 62 slaves.
Controller-Side Mapping
- IO device: The gateway appears in the controller project as a PROFINET IO device.
- Ethernet ports: Two ports connect the gateway within the Industrial Ethernet path.
- Data mapping: AS-i input, output, parameter, and diagnostic data are assigned to controller addresses.
- Device name: The configured PROFINET name and IP settings must match the STEP 7 project.
Display and Fault Separation
- AS-i supply: Display information distinguishes missing AS-i voltage from a network problem.
- Slave faults: Address and peripheral conditions identify the affected AS-i node.
- PROFINET state: Ethernet and controller status remain separate from AS-i bus diagnostics.
- Commissioning: Compare the physical slave list with the configured bus layout before clearing alarms.
Configuration Recovery
- Project backup: Preserve the STEP 7 hardware entry, process mapping, device name, and IP settings.
- AS-i layout: Record each slave address, profile, parameters, and connected channel assignment.
- Cabling: Verify AS-i polarity, bus power, Ethernet links, and 24 V DC supply.
- Acceptance: Test cyclic I/O, analog values, parameters, diagnostics, and display status after download.
