AS-Interface has long been established as a simple and cost-effective solution for integrating sensors and actuators in the field. But for almost 20 years, there have been no changes at all to one of the most important system components — the AS-Interface gateways.

Ingeniously simple and consistently well thought-out — just as customers have come to expect from AS-Interface 3.
