1.10.3.1 Overview
The AS-Interface is an open, international standard in accordance with EN 50295 and
IEC 62026-2 for process communication and field communication. Leading manufacturers of
actuators and sensors worldwide support AS-Interface. The electrical and mechanical
specifications of the AS-Interface Association are disclosed to interested companies.
AS-Interface is a single master system. For the Siemens automation systems, there are
communications processors (CPs) and routers (links), which control the process or field
communication as masters, as well as actuators and sensors, which are addressed as AS-
Interface slaves.
