AS-i bus configuration
Description of the configuration screen for an AS-i communication module
At a Glance
Illustration
The configuration screen of the AS-i module gives access to the parameters associated with the module and the slave devices.
This screen allows display and modification of parameters in local mode, and also debugging in connected mode.

How to define a slave device on the AS-i bus
At a Glance The PL7 software offers a catalogue, which regroups all of the AS-i slaves that are available. This catalogue is structured in families (e.g.: Inductive detectors).
The list of slave device families contains two distinct elements: l l
Non-specialized products,
Private family.
Selection of a non-specialized product allows the selection of an AS-i profile amongst 240 possibilities.
Selecting Private family gives the user the possibility of managing a specific AS-i device catalogue file via its programming terminal.
Note: An application using the AS-i products from the Private Family catalogue is always linked to the usage of this same private family catalogue.
Procedure This operation supports the declaration of a slave device on the AS-i bus.
Step
