Function

The VBA-4E3A-CB-E/E2-S AS-Interface coupling module is the circuit board solution for an AS-Interface slave. The module is ideal for integration into customer-specific electronics, e. g. keypads, actuators, etc. The circuit board is supplied by the AS-Interface. The inputs and outputs are short-circuit and overload-proof.

Note:

In the case of communication errors on the bus, the outputs are de-energised via an integrated watchdog.

Pepperl+Fuchs can customise connectors and circuit board sizes e. g. for 2EA, 2E1A, ... models to meet your specific applications.
