USER MANUAL AC1014 IFM
Functions and features
- The AS-i DeviceNet controller integrates 1 or 2 AS-i masters, a mini controller and a group 2 Only DeviceNet slave interface to ODVA specification (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association)
- it controls the data exchange to the sensor/actuator level
- it processes the peripheral data in the integrated processor (signal preprocessing)
- it works as stand-alone controller with data exchange to the PC (visualisation)
- it is monitored by a watchdog
- it communicates with the higher-level control system (in the gateway mode)
- it supports the following operating modes according to the specifications: Cyclic polling, Bit strobe, Change of state and Cycle.
It is configured via explicit messages.
Mounting
Mount the controller onto a 35mm rail. The unit has protection IP20, therefore it should be mounted in a protected place (e.g. switching cabinet).
Electrical connection
Disconnect power. Connect the unit according to the terminal marking. Never connect the minus potentials to each other or the minus potentials and the PE connection.
Ensure an electrically safe ground connection between the AS-i controller (PE terminal) and the ground connection of the unit.
After application of the supply voltage all the LEDs and the LED display are switched on (LED test); then the version numbers of the hardware and the software are displayed for 1s each on the LED display.

Error messages
Display of missing/defective slaves
(digit 2 = master; digits 3 and 4 = slave no.); the slaves are displayed at intervals of seconds.
The list of failed slaves can be stored until the slaves have been replaced.
- Press the SET button twice (for the list of master 1) or SET -MODE - SET (for the list of master 2). The lowest address of the error list is displayed flashing.
- Replace the failed slave by a slave with the same configuration and with the address 0; it will receive the indicated address; (the function “automatic addressing” must be activated). If other addresses are displayed, proceed in the same way until the list has been completed.
- The function will be ended when the slaves have been replaced or the SET button has been pressed.
