ASI Controls ASIC/3-9500

Multiport System Interface

The ASIC/3-9500 Multi-port System Interface provides communication access

ASIC/3-9500 Features to a network of ASI controllers from a system host computer or modem. The
 32-bit ARM9 processor
device runs ASIC/2 or ASIC/3 control sequences but has no physical IO.
The ASIC/3-9500 provides access via USB Device Service port or 100 MB
 100Mb Ethernet port; Ethernet, and three RS-485, 1/2 duplex balanced line communication buses.
optional WiFi Red and green LEDs indicate receive and transmit status of the System and
Local RS-485 communication busses. ASI protocol communication is
 BACnet MS/TP or ASI supported up to 57,600 baud. RS-485 inputs and outputs are protected by 100
on System Bus mA polyswitches, 24 VAC power input is protected by a 1.35A polyswitch.

 2 Local Buses support ASI The ASIC/3-9500 supports Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP communications via a
or Modbus Master RTU wired or wireless connection. A Wi-Fi card can be installed in the XBee slot of
the ASIC/3-9500, which supports WPA2 and other security protocols. Future
 Works with ASI WebLink releases will support dial-in and dial-out using a dedicated USB modem.
& ASI Data Server products Notify alarm messages can be sent to ASI WebLink for annunciation. Note the
device does not currently support forwarding of Notify messages from other
 USB Device Service Port ASIC/2 or ASIC/3 controllers on the system bus.

 Local Bus Polling The ASIC/3-9500 controller has three separate RS-485 system and local buses.
The system bus is used to network multiple ASIC/3 and ASIC/2 controllers, or
 Dial-in, Dial-out (Future) optionally the system bus can support BACnet MS/TP.
The ASIC/3-9500 supports polling on the local buses and allows pass-through
 Alarm & Event Notification communication from the Ethernet or USB ports. Alternately either local bus
 SD Card expansion slot
can support Modbus Master RTU. A real time hardware clock enables network
time broadcast and synchronizing of time on networks of ASIC/3, ASIC/2 or
ASIC/1 controllers.
The ASIC/3-9500 can act as an optional baud rate buffer to allow linking of
networks communicating at differing baud rates. A typical application includes
a modem link at 9600 baud connected directly to a control system at 19,200
baud. Another typical use case is adding new controllers communicating at up
to 19,200 baud to a legacy ASIC/1 controller network running at 1,200 baud.
ASIC/3-9500 functional configuration is held in non-volatile Flash memory
that retains program data during power interruption. Configuration of values
like System Baud Rate and System Bus Addresses is done using Windows
based ASI Visual Expert software.
