As part of their 'one-stop' service, Bernstein now offer limit switches and safety switches in AS-i compatible versions together with the first bus compatible hinge switch, designed with a direct linkage that does not require a connection box.

This now provides the AS-i advantages of low installation costs and minimal wiring components for complete electrical systems, and even extends to connection boxes, power supply units, safety monitors, hand held programmable apparatus and other accessories.

AS-i connection technology:

	Two-core cable, profiled flat cable No shielding necessary Protection against polarity reversal by profile coding
	M12 version with plug connector and for the self assembled connector
	Compatible flat cable clamp with penetration technology for AS-i cable
	M12 connection cable from the flat cable clamp to BERNSTEIN AS-i switch
	Angled and straight plug versions
	One sided plug version

Direct connection to the AS-i-profibus cable and BERNSTEIN AS-i switches

The combination of the AS-i cable and flat cable clamp plus M12 interconnection, can offer enormous savings potential by using this method of installation and connection.

This is further enhanced by the direct connection of the BERNSTEIN As-i switches.

The BERNSTEIN AS-i switches are connected to the AS-i cable by means of the integrated flat cable clamp.

Using AS-i cables in combination with penetration technology makes it possible to use the flat cable clamp and still retain the protection classification of the cable.
