Fuji Electric | NP1L-AS2 | AS-i Master Module

The Fuji Electric MICREX SX-series SPH NP1L-AS2 is an advanced AS-i Master Module designed for industrial automation applications. Operating on the AS-i communication protocol Version 2.1, this module provides robust and flexible communication capabilities for controlling various actuators and sensors within a factory or process environment.

Key Features:

• AS-i Communication Protocol: The NP1L-AS2 operates based on the widely used AS-i protocol Version 2.1, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and ensuring smooth communication between the master and slave stations.

• System Configuration: It supports up to 12 units in a single system configuration, providing scalability to accommodate large systems. Up to 62 slave stations can be connected to a single master module.

• Wide Compatibility: The module can connect to diverse actuators and sensors that comply with AS-i standards, making it ideal for use in complex industrial environments requiring flexibility.

• Transmission Specifications:

  • Transmission Line Format: Supports tree-structure, line-structure, star-structure, and ring-structure setups for maximum adaptability.

  • Transmission Distance: Supports a transmission line length of up to 100 meters, and up to 300 meters with the use of a repeater.

  • Transmission Speed: 167 kbps, ensuring fast communication for real-time data processing.

  • Cable: Uses standard AS-i cable for reliable communication.

• I/O Control: The module allows the control of up to 336 I/O points, with a maximum of 168 input points and 168 output points. This capability ensures extensive control over connected devices, meeting the demands of large-scale automation systems.

• Fast Refresh Rate:

  • Approx. 10ms refresh time when 62 units are connected, ensuring quick response times for real-time data handling.

  • Approx. 5ms refresh time when 31 units are connected.

• Power Consumption:

  • Current Consumption: The AS-i master section requires 30V DC, 100mA or less (supplied from the AS-i power supply and insulated from the SX bus).

  • Internal Power: The module itself draws 24V DC, 100mA or less from the SX bus.

• Compact Design: The module weighs only approx. 180g, making it lightweight and easy to install in a variety of configurations.
