AS-Interface control cabinet module

AI Thread Summary
The AS-Interface control cabinet module is a discrete I/O device that operates on the AS-I bus, featuring four PNP inputs and four relay outputs. Its primary function is to drive power circuits, typically managed by a host PLC that supports the AS-I bus. Users unfamiliar with this technology may find it challenging to understand its application from the datasheet. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on how this module integrates into control systems. Overall, it serves as a crucial component for controlling various devices in automation setups.

I have never seen one of these in my life but it makes sense to me that a general control component may need to drive power circuits and that is still often achieved with a relay.
 
It appears to be a discrete I/O module operating on AS-I bus that has 4 PNP inputs and 4 relay outputs. Presumably a host PLC or similar that supports AS-I bus can address the I/O.

@Ivan001 what are you planning to use this information for? Will you be building something?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
