Function of the Extension Plug
To build a AS-Interface segment longer than 100 m up to 200 m install the extension plug at that point in the network which is
most distant to the AS-Interface power supply. It is not necessary to locate this point exactly, as it is sufficient to install the extension
plug close to this point (approx. 10 m). Using the extension plug you may build AS-Interface networks in any topology (line,
star,tree). You always need just one extension plug per segment even if you use star or tree structure.
Depending on the length of a AS-Interface segment and the needed current (depending on the number of connected slaves) you have
to consider the voltage drop along the AS-Interface cable. The extension plug is equipped with a under voltage detection for easy
monitoring of the AS-Interface voltage. A green LED flashes if the AS-Interface voltage is too low.

The extension plug has a M12 connection and can
be easily connected via the AS-Interface M12
branch 3RX9801-0AA00 in degree of protection


The maximum possible network dimension can be extended by using repeater in combination
with the extension plug

Please note that if using the repeater in combination with the extension plug it is not allowed to
connect repeaters in series. Therefore, the maximum distance Master Slave is
400 m and the absolute maximum distance is 600 m (if the master is located in the middle of the
network).

It is possible to connect repeaters in parallel to realize a star topology, each branch with up to
200 m

Special
conditions for
safe operation:
 The module must be protected against mechanical damage by means of suitable
protective measures.
 All M12 connecters are to be secured against illegal opening through a safety
clip in such way that disconnecting the connector is not possible manually but
only destroying the safety clip. Suitable safety clips are available from Binder
GmbH + Co., Elektrische Bauelemente KG, P.O. Box 1152, 74148 Neckarsulm,
Germany, Phone: +49/7132/325-0, Fax +49/7132/325-150, info@binderconnector.de , item no. 16-0977-000.
 After addressing the module the addressing socket has to be covered with sealing
cap 3RK1901-1KA01 (manipulation proof design) in such manner that the cap
cannot be removed manually.
 Addressing of the module by means of 3RK1904-2AB01 addressing device is
only permissible outside EX zone 22.
