Application area
The ASM interface modules are links between the MOBY D components SLG/MDS and the
higher-level control systems (e.g. SIMATIC S7) or PC or computers. Depending on the
interface module used, up to two SLGs can be connected.
Design and functions
The ASM comprises a microcontroller system with an individual program (PROM). The CPU
receives commands over the user interface and saves them in RAM. The user receives an
acknowledgement that the command has arrived. If the command is valid, the CPU starts to
process it.
