2.3 Transferring AS-i Binary Values
Purpose
This section explains how the binary values of attached AS-i slaves can be
accessed by the user program on the DP master.
Interface Between the DP Master and DP/AS-i Link 20E
Via the DP/AS-i Link 20E, the DP master accesses the binary inputs and outputs
of the AS-i slaves in the cyclic DP mode. The inputs and outputs of the AS-i
slaves are mapped in a continuous data area in the DP master.

From the point of view of the PROFIBUS DP master, the DP/AS-i Link 20E
occupies
S A maximum of 32 input bytes and a maximum of 32 output bytes
Addressing these bytes within the DP master (in the user program etc.) depends
on the PROFIBUS DP master being used.
You will find examples of this below. For more detailed information, refer to /3/ and
the manuals for your PROFIBUS DP master.
