The Actuator Sensor Interface is the international standard for the lowest field bus level. The network suits versatile demands, as it's very flexible and easy to install. It is usually used to control sensors, actuators, I/O units and gateways. The AS-Interface network has its own distinctive yellow cable which acts as both a communication line and a power supply for connecting devices. By using special coupling bridges, any slave station on the network can be moved and placed at a new location without having to completely rewire or rebuild the network.
