New G12 Family of AS-Interface Modules from Pepperl+Fuchs Provides Unrivaled Performance and Flexibility
Tools-free installation and operation, and output-specific diagnostics, headline long list of user benefits

TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs’ new G12 family of AS-Interface modules represent the easiest-to-install and most flexible, user-friendly family of AS-Interface modules available today. Six distinct models are available with various input and output configurations, and short or long housing styles, to suit any AS-Interface application need.

“The rugged G12 family features SPEEDCON M12 connectors for the fastest possible installation of sensors or actuators, and a single rugged stainless steel mounting base that supports two housing sizes and various I/O mixes so users can quickly and easily change the I/O count without having to remount the base or cable,” says Helge Hornis, PhD, Intelligent Systems Manager for Pepperl+Fuchs. “Additionally, output-specific diagnostics are available right on the module and allow maintenance personnel to quickly identify and correct the problem for maximum machine uptime,” he says.

Machined, gold-plated contacts provide superior corrosion resistance and reliability when compared with stamped contacts plated with non-precious metals. An integrated DIN clip on the stainless steel mounting base means users don’t have to choose ahead of time how the G12 will be mounted, which speeds and simplifies planning, ordering and installation. In instances where the top-bottom orientation of the AS-Interface flat cable needs to be reversed, the G12’s unique single-piece cable guide makes it possible to do so without tools, in just seconds.

“I/O modules are the lifeblood of the AS-Interface system. All communication passes through these modules. They drive the solenoids and relays, initiate the valves and enable the pushbuttons. This is why we engineered the G12 family of modules – to thrive in today’s demanding applications with uncompromised quality and unrivaled performance, at a competitive price,” says Dr. Hornis.
