What is an Active AS-i Module?

Active AS-i modules act as interface points, connecting sensors, switches, and actuators to a central controller over the AS-Interface network. Unlike passive junction blocks, these modules offer integrated electronics for:

• Digital and analog input/output signal conversion
• Advanced diagnostics (e.g., wire break, short circuit detection)
• Direct field mounting for decentralised installations
• Easy integration of industrial devices (proximity switches, valves, etc.)
