Pepperl+Fuchs' AS-InterfaceHandheld VBP-HH1-V3.0-110Vis an addressing device for AS-Interface specification 3.0.The AS-Interfaceprogramming tool canbe used to program and test the functionality of AS-Interface slaves, providepermanent data exchange with AS-Interface slaves, support data exchange with4E4Aslaves in extended addressing mode,and indicate the safety code for AS-InterfaceSafety-at-Workslaves. Thesebattery-powered handheld programmers provide shortcircuit and overload protection of the slave connection. They are IP20protected and rated for use in temperatures ranging from 0 to 40C (32 to 104F).
The AS-Interface 3.0Handheld is an enhancement to the company's version 2.1 programmer, and hasthese new features:
Support for specification 3.0 profiles, with the ability to set outputs on 4in/4out modules with extended addressing
Extended "power-on" time to support the programming of safe output modules
Ability to read the safety sequence from safety input modules
Semi-automatic addressing, where the unit stores previously programmed addresses for quick programming of an entire network, while minimizing the chance of a duplicate address
Faster address programming, where arrow keys and a program button are the sole requirements to set the module address
