Software
The AS-i Control Tools software is supplied as
restricted version together with the documentation. The software performs addressing, programming and monitoring of the AS-Interface
network. In addition, it contains an editor that
creates programs for the integrated PLC functionality. The full version of the AS-i Control
Tool is available as an accessory and features
an expanded diagnostics monitor as well as a
larger program memory for AS-i Control which
makes it possible to detect faulty telegrams of
slaves.

Function
The VAM-CTR-KF-R* is a stand-alone master with integrated PLC functionality. The design
of this master is ideal for use in a cabinet. Its housing, only 60 mm wide, occupies little space
in a cabinet installation. The VAM-CTR-KF-R* is installed by snapping it onto the 35 mm DIN
Rail per EN 50022, with the integrated Power Rail. The AS-Interface signal is transmitted through conductors, which are integrated into the Power Rail. Thus all cabinet modules in KF
housing can be connected to the AS-Interface cable by simply snapping them onto the DIN
Rail. Removable terminals for leading the AS-i cable through the cabinet are available. These
terminals are coded and allow "online" maintenance, i.e. while the system is under power.
The connection to the AS-Interface power supply is established through these terminals
which can also be used for the serial interface. A 9-pin Sub-D connector is also available.
Power to the master is supplied by the AS-i cable.
Two push buttons are used for address assignment of the AS-Interface slaves and acceptance of the desired configuration. In configuration mode, all detected AS-Interface slaves
are displayed on the 2-digit LCD. In normal operation, the LCD is blank unless the master
detects a faulty AS-Interface slave. There are 7 LEDs on the front panel, showing the current
status of the AS-i line.

PLC Functionality
The VAM-CTR-KF-R* provides 16 kBytes of program memory, 8 kBytes of main memory,
1024 counters and 1024 timers for PLC functionality. These capacities suffice to process
data on the AS-Interface. Thus the master can also be operated in "stand-alone“ mode. The
program processing time is approximately 1000 word commands every 2 ms. The programming language is based upon the STEP5programming language.
