-//Actuator Sensor Interface// (**AS-Interface** or **AS-i**) is an industrial networking solution (physical layer, data access method and protocol) used in PLC, DCS and PC-based automation systems. It is designed for connecting simple field I/O devices (e.g. binary ON/OFF devices such as actuators, sensors, rotary encoders, analog inputs and outputs, push buttons, and valve position sensors) in discrete manufacturing and process applications using a single two-conductor cable.\\+//Actuator Sensor Interface// (**AS-Interface** or **AS-i**) is an industrial networking solution (physical layer, data access method, and protocol) used in PLC, DCS, and PC-based automation systems.

-AS-Interface is a networking alternative to the hard wiring of field devices. It can be used as a partner network for higher level fieldbus networks such as [[com:basic_profibus|Profibus]], [[com:basic_devicenet|DeviceNet]], [[com:basic_interbus|Interbus]] and [[com:basic_ie|Industrial Ethernet]], for whom it offers a low-cost remote I/O solution. It is used in automation applications, including conveyor control, packaging machines, process control valves, bottling plants, electrical distribution systems, airport baggage carousels, elevators, bottling lines and food production lines. \\+AS-Interface is a networking alternative to the hard wiring of field devices.

-AS-Interface provides a basis for Functional Safety in machinery safety/emergency stop applications. Safety devices communicating over AS-Interface follow all the normal AS-Interface data rules. The AS-Interface specification is managed by AS-International, a member funded non-profit organization located in Gelnhausen/Germany. Several international subsidiaries exist around the world.\\+AS-Interface provides a basis for Functional Safety in machinery safety/emergency stop applications.
