1 About this manual

This manual describes the AS-i DP -Gateway family with AS-i version 2.1 master manufactured by ifm
electronic gmbh with two AS-i master (Ord.No. AC1326), as well as SmartLin k DP with one AS-i
master (Ord. No. AC1335).

To run the system you need in addition to the DP-Gateway a 24 V and an AS-i power supply as well
as single and/or A/B AS-i slaves. When using the two master unit (Ord.No. AC1326) it is necessary to
have a 24 V supply for power requirements as well as a second AS-i power supply and the
corresponding AS-i slaves for the second AS-i system.

1.1 Important safety information!

Specifications regarding the use of the AS-i DP -Gateway
 The AS-i DP -Gateway contains one (AC1335) or two AS-i masters (AC1326), both according to

the AS-i version 2.1 and an Profibus DP fieldbus connection.

 It controls the exchange of data to the sensor/actuator level,
 communicates with the higher control level as fieldbus gateway.

Important directions on installation, connection and maintenance:

Ensure a condensation-free environment. Avoid excessive dust, vibration and shock. The

circulation of air through the vents must not be hampered.

Disconnect power. Connect the switching elements according to the terminal marking. Never

connect the minus potentials to each other or the minus potentials and the FE connection.

Ensure an electrically safe connection between the AS-i DP -Gateway (FE terminal) and

plant earth (functional ground).

2 The AS-i DP-Gateway family

The AS-i DP -Gateway contain 1 (AC1335) or 2 AS-i masters (AC1326) having the AS-i Association’s
advanced specification 2.1. This new specification brings the following features to the AS-i DP ­Gateway family:

 a single slave can now be replaced with a pair of A/B slaves allowing connection of up to 62 (A/B)

slaves per master,

 the new profiles S-7.3 and S-7.4 enable "plug and play" operation of analogue slaves
 the introduction of periphery fault flags brings a better diagnosis of I/O modules in case of possible

erroneous connections

Detailed system diagnosis is made possible by the text/graphics-display of the DP-Gateway. The
operation of the four buttons can be learned intuitively. The two language capability of the text display
is especially useful for those who export their applications to a foreign. An intelligent message
management system generates priority controlled messages ensuring their display in orde r of
importance.

3 Mounting instructions

A DIN rail (EN 50022) is to be used for mounting the AS-i DP -Gateway .It can be removed from the
DIN rail without any special tools.

The housing of the AS-i DP -Gateway is that of the modern 24V and AS-i power supplies made by ifm
electronic. The AS-i DP -Gateway having a height of only 107mm, just as the power supplies, fits
enclosures which have a height of 120mm.

Caution: The standard mounting position of the AS-i DP -Gateway is perpendicular in a

switching cabinet, which allows for optimum heat transfer from the unit. This
causes the temperature range of 0 to +60°C to be maintained when the spacing
allows good air flow.

The AS-i DP -Gateway should not be mounted directly near a frequency converter!
A 24 VDC (20..30V PELV) power supply, for example DN2011 from ifm electronic, is required for

operating the dual AS-i DP -Gateway AC1326. The connections are at terminals +24V and 0V (see
figure on next page).

Terminal FE is the functional ground (earth) of the unit!

Caution: Remove power from the power supply before connection of the AS-i DP -Gateway !

Note that the current consumption of the dual AS-i DP -Gateway AC1326 can reach 400 mA. The LED
'24V PWR‘ indicates the correct supply to the unit. The single master system AC1335 is completely
supplied with voltage from the AS-i system.

At power-up the text/graphic display indicates a start screen or possible error messages of the
connected AS-i systems.

If necessary the contrast of the display can be adjusted by pressing the right button and either the
button (lighter) or the button (darker) simultaneously as indicated in the figure below.

4 Setting up the AS-i System

4.1 AS-i power supply

A special AS-i power supply (for example AC1216) is required for operation of an AS-i system.
This power supply delivers the energy to the yellow AS-i cable and accomplishes the data decoupling
from the voltage regulator in the power supply. Standard switching power supplies would recognize
the AS-i data signals as a disturbance signal and would suppress them.

The AS-i + and AS-i – terminals are present twice on the AS-i power supply. This allows easy
connection to the AS-i 1+ and AS-i 1– terminals of AS-i DP -Gateway (or ASI 2+ and ASI 2- for the
second AS-i master system in AC1326). For the operation of a second AS-i master in AC1326 another
AS-i power supply is required causing the two systems to be galvanically separated. The AS-i masters
of AC1326 are partially supplied with voltage from the AS-i system. The single master system AC1335
is completely supplied with voltage from the AS-i system.

Caution: Most AS-i power supplies are short circuit protected. Nonetheless the power supply

should always be removed from voltage before the AS-i DP -Gateway is
connected.

Important: The AS-i system is to be operated without grounding. The AS-i + and AS-i – lines

are to be symmetrical to the plant earth. This is accomplished by making a low
resistance connection between the shield terminal and the plant earth.

4.2 AS-i diagnosis LEDs

The three diagnosis LEDs on the front of the AS-i DP -Gateway give information concerning the state
of the AS-i master and the connected AS-i system. The LEDs have the following meaning:

 PWR/COM On: AS-i voltage ( Power) present and communication with at least one
slave has been established
Flashing: AS-i voltage ( Power) present but no slave communication established

 P R O J On: Projection mode active, configuration monitoring not active
Flashing: Projection mode active, switch to protected mode not possible
because a slave having address 0 is connected

 CONF / PF On: Projected and current configuration not the same
Flashing: Periphery fault on at least one of the connected slaves

4.3 Connecting the slaves

The AS-i units feature short-circuit and reverse polarity protection, nonetheless connections of for
example control cabinet modules should be made only after power has been turned off. Many slaves
of this type have a jumper which when connected causes the slave to be deactivated. Leave this
jumper connected at this point.

When using SmartLine modules please remove the combicon plug connected to AS-i +/-.
AS-i field modules usually consist of a lower part for connection of the yellow flat cable and an upper

part which contains the electronics. Place the yellow cable in the lower part but do not screw the upper
part on yet.

device manual AS-i DP-Gateway

After the voltage ha

s been applied to both power supplies the AS-i DP -Gateway, the AS-i master and
AS-i cable are supplied with power. The green LED 'PWR/COM‘ flashes if only the AS-i power supply
and no slaves are connected to the system.

Now slaves are to be addressed. One method to do this is by means of the buttons and the
text/graphic display on the AS-i DP -Gateway. Choose the controller menu using the left button

('Menu') and select 'Slaves adr.‘ using the button. Confirm this choice using the left button ('OK‘)
and then choose ‚Easy Startup‘.

The AS-i slave address is non-volatilely stored in every slave. To allow the AS-i master to individually
communicate with each slave the slave must have a unique address in the system.The manufacturer
delivers each AS-i slave with the address 0. When the AS-i DP -Gateway runs in the Easy Startup
Mode, slaves are addressed automatically in increasing order.

Choose the desired master and confirm with 'OK‘. The AS-i DP -Gateway assigns the lowe st free
address to the next slave which is connected and has the address 0.

Try this by connecting a new slave. The LED ‘PWR/COM‘ stops flashing since at least one slave has
been detected correctly. The red lighting LED 'CONF/PF’ is still correct at this stage of system set-up.
It indicates that the new slave has not been projected in the master yet. The text/graphic display of the
AS-i DP -Gateway gives information as to the slave addresses which have already been assigned as
well as the status of the system set-up.

This automatic procedure can only function if each newly connected slave has the address 0! If the
slaves have already been used in another system they probably have an address which is not 0. In
this case the AS-i DP -Gateway does not react as expected. Remove the slave from the system and
readdress it to 0 using one of the methods discussed below.

Terminate the addressing procedure by pressing the 'ESC‘ button several times until the main menu
is active and choose ‘QuickSetup‘.

The next option in QuickSetup is 'Config all‘. Choose the desired master to which the slave is to be
connected and confirm this choice. The red LED 'CONF/PF‘ and the orange LED 'PROJ‘ should now
go out. The system configuration is now complete.

If incorrectly addressed slaves remain, they can be addressed as follows: Remove all slaves except
that slave which is to be readdressed.

4-10

device manual AS-i DP - Gateway

Choose the op

tion "Change Address" and the desired AS-i master in the menu "Address Slave".
The first slave which is detected (i.e. the slave with the lowest address) is displayed. Since in this case
only one slave is connected the indicated address can only be that of this slave. Pressing the ‘OK‘
button causes the first free slave address to be displayed (generally the address 0.) The desired new
address can be chosen using the arrow buttons. The confirmation is initiated with the ‘OK‘ button,
after which the selected addresses are redisplayed. If this address is not correct, the addressing
procedure can be terminated with ‘ESC‘. If the address is the one desired, press ‘OK’ and the
addressing process will be completed.

5 Profibus DP configuration

The AS-i DP -Gateway AC1325/AC1326 is a modular Profibus DP slave. To set up the Profibus DP
slave address select the menu "field bus setup" in the AS-i DP -Gateway display. The new address is
stored non volatilely in the device.

Profibus DP- Gateway with 2 AS-i Master (AC1326)

SmartLink DP with 1 AS-i Master (AC1335)

In the programming software for the Profibus DP master system the data to be transferred to the AS-i
DP -Gateway or the connected AS-i systems can be defined by indicating the length of up to 12
modules.

The GSD file ifm_04D8.gsd for AC1326 contains different possible definitions (indicated lengths) for
each of the 11 modules, the file ifm_07E5.gsd for AC1335 contains different possible definitions for
12 modules. You can find the GSD file in the hardware catalogue of the Profibus configuration
software in the folder Gateway.

The double master AC1326 uses the GSD of the controllere family which is listed in the hardware
catalogue as "ASI-DP-Controller e" and supports 11 modules. The single master AC1335 is indicated
in the hardware catalogue as "ASI-DP-Gateway" and supports an additional module 12 if using GSD
revision 2 and device firmware version 1.23 or higher.

5.1.1 Definition of the Profibus DP module

The texts of the different options of the modules always start with the module number. All options in
the module list of the hardware catalogue starting with 1: are thus options of the first module in the
device definition.

device manual AS-i DP-Gateway

The first mo

dule for example defines the number of binary I/O data bytes of single or A slaves of AS-i

master 1 in the AS-i DP -Gateway which are to be transferred to the Profibus master via Profibus DP.
The maximum data length of all 11 modules must not exceed 156 input bytes and 156 output bytes.
For the advanced Profibus DP user it is also possible to use other length codes than those given as

long as the respective maximum lengths of the modules are not exceeded.
When using the single master AC1325, modules which refer to master 2 are to be configured using

spaces as placeholders.

Note: Two bits of the Command response byte indicate the state of the command channel:

D7 = 1 -> Error during command processing
D7 = 0 -> No error
D6 = 1 -> Command being processed,channel busy.
D6 = 0 -> Command processed,response buffer valid.

The commands are normally executed only if the command byte (first byte) is changed! For
continuous execution of the same command please switch into 'Continuous command mode' first! This
can be done with command No. 62.

5.1.2 Device-specific Profibus DP parameters:

In order to define the addresses of the parallel analogue input and output slaves and to define
parameters of the connected AS-i slaves, up to 100 byte device-specific parameters have to be set:

Device-specific Profibus DP parameters (example):
Byte 1..4: 16#80, 16#00, 16#00, 16#00, (fixed device parameter)
Byte 5: 16#AE, (fixed value: start of analogue input addresses)
Byte 6..20: 16#42, 16#44, 16#45, 16#48, 16#50,... (slaves 2,4,5,8,16, ... of master 1)
Byte 21: 16#AA, (fixed value:start of analogue output addresses)
Byte 22..36: 16#41, 16#43, ... (slaves 1, 3, ... of master 1)
Byte 37: 16#2F (Bit 5 = 1 enables e x tended diagnostics of the AS-i systems via Profibus DP)
Byte 37: 16#1F (Bit 4 = 1 enables AS-i parameter download)
When using a single master AC1335:
Byte 37..68: 16#1F, 16#FF, ... (predefined parameters of the AS-i slaves)
When using a double master AC1326:
Byte 37..100: 16#1F, 16#FF, ... (predefined parameters of AS-i slaves)

Slave addresses in Profibus parameter bytes 6..20 and 21..36: MMXSSSSS
MM:= 2 bit master number 1..2;
X:= 0=A/Single, 1=B-Slave;
SSSSS:= 5 bit slave number 1..31
to calculate: (slave No.) + (master No. * 64) + (32 if B-Slave)

Examples: 16#43 : Master 1, slave 3(A)
16#85 : Master 2, slave 5(A)
16#61 : Master 1, slave 1B
16#5C: Master 1, slave28(A)

In the GSD file definitions have been created to make the parameter setting comfortable (if supported
by the configuration tool of the Profibus DP master):

device manual AS-i DP - Gateway

If this parameter ('Extended Profibus Diag.', byte 37 bit 5 TRUE) is changed to Enabled the AS-i DP­Gateway transfers the extended diagnosis data as described below. These data generate a DP
diagnosis request in case of an error in the AS-i DP- Gateway. It is therefore necessary when using a
Siemens PLC to program the block OB82 to detect this condition otherwise the PLC will be caused to
stop. If this parameter is Disabled (preset value) the AS-i DP- Gateway transmits only the standard
diagnosis. In this case an AS-i error has no direct effect on the Profibus DP system, however bits 4..7
of the first byte (from standard diagnosis) or the command channel are to be monitored via the PLC.

5.1.3 AS-i diagnostics:

The AS-i master status information in the first byte of the digital inputs of the single /A slave data (byte
0, bit 4..7) contains the master flags of the respective AS-i system:

Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4

reserved configuration error in

AS-i system

no AS-i slave detected periphery fault

The AS-i master control information in the first byte of the digital outputs of the single/A slave data
(byte 0, bit 4..7) controls the stored diagnostic information:

bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4

reserved reserved reset the stored diagnostic

data

activate transfer of the stored
diagnostic data

If bits 4 and 5 of the control information are unswitched (default condition) the extended diagnosis
contains the current system state. Should a short disturbance be detected, the AS-i DP- Gateway can
be instructed by means of bit 4 to store this error condition. This storage can be deleted using bit 5 or
by switching off the AS-i DP-Gateway. If bit 4 is TRUE and a configuration error takes place the
corresponding bit in the extended device diagnosis remains TRUE even after the slave is correctly
detected.

5-29

device manual AS-i DP-Gateway

If as discusse

d above the parameter 'Extended Profibus Diag.' (byte 37 bit 5 TRUE) is set to Disabled
(default condition) the AS-i DP- Gateway transmits no extended unit specific diagnostic data, only
diagnostic data which every Profibus DP Slave is required to transmit(first 6 bytes). This is generally
known as standard diagnostic. In some applications jitter in the Profibus DP cycle time which takes
place with diagnosis calls can not be tolerated. In this case system diagnosis can be realised via the
I/O data(module 4) even though this causes the regular DP-cycle time to be increased.

The device-specific Profibus DP diagnostics are activated by the Profibus DP parameter byte 37 bit 5
being set and contains the following status information:

Byte Contents

6 Reference

6.1 Display messages

In the AS-i DP Gateway display error messages are displayed in two different ways:

1. AS-i system error:

The messages are displayed instead of the start image. There is no interruption in the menu
handling, a flashing exclamation mark is displayed in the middle of the bottom line in the
display instead (only if the configuration mode has been disabled)

2. Handling and internal system errors:

The message superposes the menu representation and must be confirmed by pressing the
right button.

6.1.1 AS-i system error (code E10 ... E30 )

E10
slave profile incorrect

The slave was detected in the system but not activated by the master.

-> The cause is that the slave profile does not correspond with the projected one and that the master is in the
“Protected Mode”.

N.B.: In the slave Info menu the projected and the detected slave profile can be checked.

E11
slave not present

The slave was found in the projection but it was not detected on the AS-i line.
LPS not identical with LDS.

E12
slave not projected

The slave was found on the AS-i line but not in the projection.
LDS not identical with LPS.

E13
Periphery fault detected

The master recognises that there is a periphery fault on at least one slave.

E14
Safety slave alert

>> error message not activated at present <<

E15
Analog protocol failure

>> error message not activated at present <<

E20
ASI Power Fail

The master is in the “Protected Mode” and detects that the AS-i voltage supply is not greater than 28 V. This
message is only generated if at least one slave is projected, i.e. the LPS has to be unequal to 0.

E21
No slave detected

The master is in the “Projected Mode” and detects that no slave is connected to the AS-i line. This message is
only generated if at least one slave is projected, i.e. the LPS has to be unequal to 0.

6-31

device manual AS-i DP-Gateway

E22
slav

e 0 detected

The master is in the “Protected Mode” and detects a slave with the address 0 on the AS-i line. This message is
only generated if the profile of the missing slave on the AS-i line is identical with the detected one with the
address 0.

E23
slave 0 bad profile

The master is in the “Protected Mode” and detects a slave with the address 0 on the AS-i line. This message is
only generated if the profile of the missing slave on the AS-i line is not identical with the detected one with the
address 0.

E24
Autoaddress not enabled

The master is in the “Protected Mode” and detects a slave with the address 0 on the AS-i line. This message is
only generated if the profile of the missing slave on the AS-i line is identical with the detected one with the
address 0, the “Automatic Addressing” in the master was, however, not activated.

E25
Config error

The master is in the “Normal Operating Mode” and detects a projection error.
Possible causes:

 The profiles of the detected slaves are not identical with the projected slaves.
 One or more slaves are additionally detected on the AS-i line.
 One or several slaves are missing on the AS-i line.

N.B.:
In the slave Info menu the projected and the detected slave profile can be checked,
also the entries of the slaves in the LAS, LDS, LPS.

E26
Generic Periphery fault

The master is in the “Normal Operating Mode” and detects that at least one slave on the AS-i line signals a
periphery fault.

E27
Normal operation inactive

The master signals that it is not in the “Normal Operating Mode”.
Possible causes:

The master detects an AS-i voltage smaller than 22V and therefore changes into the “Offline Mode”.
The master has received a request from the operating system to change into the “Offline Mode”.
The master has found a transfer error in the communication with the operating system.

Other causes which can lead to the error message directly after the device has been switched on:
Initialisation of the master while the device is switched on was not successful.
The master has not yet received the projection nor the projected parameters from the operating system.
The master has not yet been started by the operating system.

M02
slave not found

The attempt was made to access a slave via an AS-i command which is not on the AS-i line, i.e. the slave is not in
the LDS.

M03
slave 0 found

The master detects a slave with the address 0 on the AS-i line and can therefore not execute the command.
Example: Attempt to readdress a slave while a slave with the address 0 is on the AS-i line.

M04
slave with same address found

During the execution of a command the master detects that there is already a slave at the requested address on
the AS-i line.
Example: Attempt to readdress a slave to an address which is already occupied by another slave on the AS-i line.

M05
Delete of old slave address

The master detects that the attempt to reprogram a slave to the address 0 is unsuccessful.
Example: AS-i slave has a limited number of readdressing possibi lities and this number has now been used up.

The master does not receive any or an invalid answer during the inquiry of the extended IO code 1.
Example: Attempt to readdress an A/B slave to another address.

M07
Writing to slave failed

The attempt by the master to readdress a slave to a new target address is unsuccessful or writing of the extended
ID code 1 to slave 1 is unsuccessful.
Example: Attempt to readdress an A/B slave to another address.

M08
New address temporary stored

During readdressing of a slave the new address could not be written to slave any more, since it was no longer
detected on the AS-i line.
Possible causes: Double addressing, major bus interference.

M09
Extended ID1 temporary stored

During writing of the ID code 1 to the slave it could not be written to the slave since it was no longer detected on
the AS-i line.
Possible causes: Double addressing, major bus interference.

Possible causes: Interference on the bus, software error in the AS-i slave.

M13
Host timeout on 7.4

During transfer to the “7.4 slave protocol” the master detected a time-out in the communication with the operating
system.
Possible causes:
Long plc cycle which slows down the transfer of the individual 7.4 segments of the operating system / plc to the
master to an unacceptable degree, t > 1 sec.
If this case occurs, the master will end the 7.4 transfer started last and will again enter into normal data exchange
with the respective slave.

M14
Invalid address

This error message has a multiple meaning and thus depends on the requested command:

1. The attempt was made to write a parameter to slave 0.

2. For readdressing, the address 0B or the address 0 was indicated as start and target address.

3. During the attempt to write the extended ID code 1 the address 0 was used.

M15
slave aborted 7.4

The addressed 7.4 slave has stopped the transfer.
Possible cause: Error in the 7.4 data of the plc.
Interference on the bus, software error in the AS-i slave.

M16
slave deleted while 7.4 runs

During a running 7.4 protocol transfer the slave was deleted from the list of active slaves by the master.
Possible cause: Interference on the bus

M17

7.4 transfer busy

The attempt was made to start a new 7.4 transfer during a running 7.4 protocol transfer.
