Communication & Networking Link to the world and reduce wiring at the same time! SwitchNet Control Units directly connect to an AS-Interface network Panels can be built with substantially less wiring at a lower total cost. • Signals and power are carried through two wires. • A maximum of 62 switches and pilot lights can be connected. The wire length can be extended to 300m by using two repeaters. • Spring clamp terminals save wiring time. Each control switch or pilot light contains a communication chip (AS-Interface Ver. 2.1).

Communication & Networking Easy & Flexible Quick & Secure Connection Easy Wiring SX5A AS-Interface Communication Terminal Spring clamp terminal Contact Pins Base Module Power Supplies Automation Software AS-Interface Flat Cable (Not supplied by IDEC) Contact pins pierce through the cable’s insulation and make secure contact with the copper conductor. After disconnecting the AS-Interface communication terminal, the elasticity of the sheath closes the pierced holes and maintains insulation. Spring clamp reduces wiring time SwitchNet control units feature spring clamp terminals, eliminating the...
