AS1313: Expanding Digital I/O Capabilities with EtherCAT

The As1313 module significantly expands digital input/output capabilities by adding 32 transistor-output digital inputs and 32 digital outputs. This module seamlessly integrates with Astraada One Compact controllers via the EtherCAT interface. Establishing a connection is straightforward, requiring only a power supply, a patchcord (connecting the EtherCAT port on the controller to the IN port on the module), and adding the module to the Codesys project tree.

Key Features of the AS1313 Module

The AS1313 module offers a range of features designed for robust performance and ease of integration:

  • Durable Construction: Housed in a rugged aluminum alloy enclosure, the AS1313 is built to withstand demanding industrial environments. This ensures reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
  • Extensive I/O: With 32 digital inputs and 32 digital outputs (0.5A), the AS1313 provides ample connectivity for a wide array of applications. This high density of I/O allows for efficient control and monitoring of numerous devices.
  • EtherCAT Communication: Leveraging the high-speed EtherCAT communication protocol, the AS1313 ensures real-time data exchange with the controller. This enables precise and responsive control in automation systems.
  • CODESYS Programming: Programmable using CODESYS V3.5 (IEC 61131-3), a widely adopted industrial automation programming environment, the AS1313 offers flexibility and familiarity for developers. This standardized platform simplifies programming and integration.
  • Easy Installation: Designed for DIN rail mounting, the AS1313 simplifies installation and integration into existing control cabinets. This standardized mounting method reduces installation time and complexity.
