FX2N-32ASI-M AS-interface Master Block Introduction 1.
1. Introduction
The FX 2N -32ASI-M (hereinafter referred to “32ASI-M”) is master block in AS-interface

(Actuator-Sensor-Interface) system for FX3U, FX3UC, FX2N, FX1N and FX0N series PLCs.
1) Automatic Address Assignment for AS-interface Slave Units
When a slave breaks down (one of the configured slaves is not recognized), 32ASI-M can
automatically allocate the slave at address 0 to the failed address.
If the non-functioning slave is replaced, the system will revert to the original slave address
numbering.
2) Control Slave Units
The 32ASI-M can control a maximum of 31 slave units (up to 4 inputs and 4 outputs per
address) on an AS-interface system. However, the maximum number of controllable slaves
may be limited according to programmable controller connected. (refer to subsection 1.3.2.)
3) The Maximum Total Extension Distance
The maximum total extension distance is usually 100m (328' 1"). Using 2 repeaters, the
maximum total extension distance is 300 m (984' 3").
4) I/O Refresh Time
I/O refresh time is about 5ms using maximum I/O points.

• The maximum number of controllable slaves is 31.

However, the maximum number of controllable slaves may be limited according to the
programmable controller connected.
For this limitation, refer to subsection 1.3.2.
• Total extension distance is for 32ASI-M is 100 m (328.1')
(Up to 2 repeaters can be used on the system. A repeater may extend the total distance an additional
100 m (328.1').

1.3 Applicable PLC

32ASI-M can be connected to FX3U, FX 3UC, FX 2N , FX 1N , or FX 0N Series PLCs. The I/O
control points of both the 32ASI-M and PLC CPU must not exceed the host PLC’s maximum I/
O point capacity.
Therefore, there is a limitation in the number of units (number of slaves) which can be
controlled according to the I/O points recognized by the with PLC's CPU (occupation)*1 as
follows.
*1 To use FX2N, FX1N, or FX0N Series PLCs, each AS-i slave station occupies 4 CPU I/O
points.
To use FX3U, FX3UC Series PLC, each AS-i slave station occupies 8 CPU I/O points.
Note;
An 32ASI-M module cannot be attached to an FX series PLC that is using an FX2N-16CCL-
M module.
Only one 32ASI-M module can be connected to the PLC.
1.3.1 Controlled Maximum I/O Points of Each PLC
Table 1.1: Controlled Maximum I/O Points of Each PLC
PLC Type Maximum I/O Points
FX3U, FX3UC (Ver. 2.20 or later) 384 points
FX2N, FX3UC (Ver. 2.20 or less) 256 points
FX1N 128 points
FX0N 128 points
1-5
1.3.2 Maximum Controlled Slave Units

The 32ASI-M can connect up to 31 slaves. However, there is a limit to the maximum number of
controllable slaves according to the PLC connected.
32ASI-M calculates the number of active slaves which can be operated, and sets a limit which
cannot be exceeded.
Note:
There is a possibility that an active slave may not operate, even if it is within the system
limits.
1) Calculation for the number of active slaves which can be operated
The number of active slaves which can be operated by each PLC type is calculated as
follows.
a) FX0N, FX1N, FX2N, FX3UC (Ver. 2.20 or less)
Controlled I/O points
( Maximum I/O points ) -( <include
*1
occupied points> ) = Number of active slave ≤ 31 Slaves
4
*1 Maximum I/O points, as shown in table 1.1.
b) FX3U, FX3UC (Ver. 2.20 or later)
The value of A in Formula M is obtained from Formula N below. Note that when the Formula N
result is larger than 248, a value of 248 must be assigned to A.
A
= Number of active slave = 31 Slaves ..........M
8
A = (Maximum I/O points*2) - (Controlled I/O points <include occupied points>) ..........N
*2 Maximum I/O points, as shown in table 1.1.
1-6
2) Active slaves fall into 2 limitation categories.

a) Limitation 1
A slave which can operate is allocated the lowest available active slave address.
A slave which exceeds the number of allowable active slaves cannot operate.
b) Limitation 2
One slave requires 4 bits in either the upper or lower areas of a byte. If an active in an
upper or lower byte area cannot operate (through limitation 1) then any other active
slaves located in the remaining 4 bits of the upper or lower byte area cannot operate
either.
1-7
Limitation Example 1
- Connected PLC: FX1N-40MR + 32ASI-M
- Controlled I/O points of PLC: 48 points <FX1N(40 points) + 32ASI-M(8 points)>
Number of active slaves which can be operated: (128 - 48) ÷ 4 = 20
- Active slave addresses: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,

As these active slaves correspond only to limitation 1 in this example; The active slaves which
can be operated are 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
(The active slaves which cannot be operated are 26 and 27 by limitation 1.)

- Controlled I/O points of PLC: 88 points
<FX1N(40 points) + FX0N(40 points) + 32ASI-M(8 points)>
Number of active slaves which can be operated: (128 - 88) ÷ 4 = 10
- Active slave addresses: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,

BFM #6 27 26 25 24 active slave address refering to
BFM #7 31 30 29 28 lim itation 2
As these active slaves correspond to limitation 1 and 2 in this example; The active slaves
which can be operated are 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 as these active slaves correspond to
limitation 1 and limitation 2 in this example. (The active slaves which cannot be operated are
13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 by limitation 1. The active slave which cannot
be operated is 12 by limitation 2.)
1-9
Note:
In this example, the maximum capacity is 10 active slaves. If the 10th active slave is
changed by either of the two following methods, it can be made operative.
• When the slave allocated to address 13 is reallocated in an empty address
of 14 or more, active slave address 12 can operate.
• .When the slave allocated to address 12 is re-allocated in an empty address, lower than
its current address, the active slave can operate (from its new location) for example,
relocation to position 5.

4.1 Flow of Master Start-Up

After powering on, all segments of the number displays and all LEDs light up for approximately
one second. Afterwards, the LEDs display the condition of their respective flags. The 7
segment displays show the condition of the 32ASI-M.

< Starting Normal operation, “43” displays>
4-1
4.2 Off-line Phase

This phase initializes the AS-interface. There is no data communication on the AS-interface. If
the AS-interface circuit is insufficiently powered (“U ASI LED” is not lit.), the master remains in
the off-line phase.
Note:
The configuration error occurs without fail when the 32ASI-M is in the off-line phase.
Therefore, disregard this error when the 32ASI-M is in the off-line phase.
4.3 Detection Phase

This phase searches for slaves located on the 32ASI-M. The 32ASI-M remains in the detection
phase until it finds at least one slave.
4.4 Activation Phase

This phase activates the slave(s) which 32ASI-M found in the Detection phase. This enables
access to the AS-interface slaves’ data connections.
4-2
4.5 Start of Normal Operation

In normal operation, the 32ASI-M can exchange data with all active slaves. It transmits
management messages and looks for and activates newly connected slaves.
Normal operation has “Protected operating mode” and “Configuration mode”. During start-up,
the unit defaults to the protected operating mode if there is an activated slave in the 32ASI-M.
protected operating mode and the configuration mode can be changed by writing the
command from the programmable controller or operating the button of 32ASI-M. Refer to
chapter 6 for the explanation and operation of each mode.

Note:
The data send and data receive buffers are the same buffer memory addresses (BFM #0 to
#7, #9, #14, #15, #20 to #22) for use with FROM and TO instructions. This means it is not
possible to check the buffer data using a FROM instruction because this instruction only
reads receive buffer data.

5.4 Watchdog Time Setting <BFM #9> (Read / Write)

The watchdog time is adjusted in 10 ms steps. Default value is 20 (20 × 10 ms = 200 ms).
When this value is 0, the watchdog timer is disabled. When BFM #0 to #8 are not accessed by
FROM / TO instructions, the watchdog timer begins operating.
When the watchdog time is written in BFM #9 by TO instruction, the watchdog timer is reset. At
this time, 32ASI-M turns off both bit 8 of BFM #8 and bit 4 of BFM #29, and clears the data for
the output in BFM #0 to # 7, so data for using all outputs has to be rewritten.
If the watchdog timer reaches its set time (BFM #9 × 10 ms), a watchdog timer error occurs. At
this time, both bit 8 of BFM #8 and bit 4 of BFM #29 are turned ON and all the outputs of the
slaves connected to the 32ASI-M are turned off.

5.9 Command Buffer <BFM #20 to 22> (Read / Write)

By using the Command Buffer, programmable controller is able to instruct the 32ASI-M as
shown in table 5.9. If the programmable controller writes data in Command Word (BFM #20),
the 32ASI-M reads the Command Word and, if necessary, one or two Data Words (BFM
#21,22). The result (BFM #20) is set to “pending”. If the desired command is executed by the
32ASi-M, the result is set and, the value is no longer “Pending”. Results with data are
transmitted in Data Word 0 and 1 (BFM #21, 22). For example program, refer to subsection

This chapter explains the operation of each mode. The mode can be changed by operating the
switch on the 32ASI-M or by setting (BFM #0 bit 2,3) from the programmable controller. For
BFM #0 refer to section 5.2.2.
Note:
The switch on the 32ASI-M can be disabled to prevent mis-operation. The mode can still be
changed by a command from the programmable controller. Even when the switch on the
32ASI-M is disabled, it can be operated when in off-line phase.
6-1
6.1 Changing the Operation Mode

6.1.1 Switching to Protected Operation Mode
The configuration mode is ended by pressing the “MODE” button. The mode changes to
protected operating mode. At this time, 32ASI-M follows these rules for pressing the “MODE”
button:
• Less than 5 seconds

32ASI-M exits the configuration mode without copying the configuration to setpoint
configuration.
• More than 5 seconds

32ASI-M exits the configuration mode simultaneously copying the configuration to setpoint
configuration. At this time, 32ASI-M stores this configuration to LPS, and stores the actual
configuration to permanent configuration, too.
Note:
If the system recognizes a slave with address 0 on the AS-interface, it can not leave the
configuration mode.
6.1.2 Switching to Configuration Mode
The Protected operation mode is ended by pressing the “MODE” button for more than 5
seconds. The mode changes to Configuration mode.
6-2
6.2 Configuration Mode

This mode is for setting the slave address number.
6.2.1 Operating the Master in Configuration Mode
In the configuration mode, the green “PRJ MODE LED” lights up and the following is done.
1) For active slave - all recognized slave are activated with the exception of slave 0 when
desired and actual configurations do not match.
2) Displayed message
32ASI-M displays all slaves entered in the list of detected slave (LDS) at a speed of two per
second. If the display is empty, the list is empty, i.e. no slaves were recognized.
6-3
6.2.2 Programming the Slave Address

This operation assign an available address to slave with address 0.
1) The addresses of all recognized slaves are displayed one after the other.
2) To display the next higher available operating address, press the “SET” button. Each time
pressing the “SET” button, the next available address is displayed.
If “SET” or “MODE” button is not pressed for 10 seconds or more, 32ASI-M returns to the
state of the display of 1).
3) Set the displayed address as the target address by pressing the “SET” button for more than
5 seconds.
4) The address display blinks.
5) Pressing the “SET” button again reprograms a connected slave with address 0 to the
blinking address.
6) If error code did not display, the displays the list of detected slaves again as described. If
error code displayed, see Section 6.4.
7) For the operation of a set end, refer to 6.1.1.
6-4
6.2.3 Delete Slave Address

This operation assign address 0 to a recognized slave.
1) The address of all recognized slave are displayed one after the other. After pressing and
releasing the “SET” button, 32ASI-M displays the next available address.
2) Display the deleted Slave address.
3) Pressing “SET” button for more than five seconds while the slave address which wants to be
deleted displayed, this slave is reprogrammed to address 0 again, and the display shows
“00”.
4) When releasing the button, the display continues to display the list of detected slaves.
6-5
6.3 Protected Operating Mode

6.3.1 Operating the Master in Protected Operating Mode
In the protected operating mode, the green “PRJ MODE LED” lights off. And, the following is
done.
1) For active slave
Only slaves that are entered on the list of projected slaves (LPS) and whose actual
configurations match the setpoint configurations will be activated.
2) Displayed message
The display is either blank or displays the address of faulty assignment.
If the “SET” button is pressed in protected operating mode while there is not actual
configuration error, the last slave address which caused an configuration error is displayed,
or “39” is displayed. For error and “39”, refer to section 6.4.
6-6
6.3.2 Automatic Address Assignment

The automatic address programing is 32ASI-M allocate the address which automatically fails
in address 0 when one of the configured slaves is not recognized in the protected operating
mode. For automatic address programming, the following requirements are necessary.
a) The 32ASI-M is necessary in protected operating mode. <BFM #0 bit 2 and bit 3 is OFF>
b) The automatic address assignment is allowed. <BFM #8 bit 2 is ON>
c) Only one of the configured slaves is not recognized. <BFM #8 bit1 is ON>
When these requirements are fulfilled, “PRG ENABLE” LED on the 32ASI-M light up and a
slave with address 0 will be automatically assigned the operating address of the missing slave.
Note;
If the two slaves have different configuration data (different slave type), the automatic
address assignment is not executed.
6-7
6.3.3 Manual Address Assignment

If several slaves fail, they cannot be replaced automatically by the 32ASI-M. Set their
necessary addresses manually. If you do not want to set their addresses via programmable
controller, you can set them with the keys and the display. In the protected operating mode,
wrong assignments are displayed as errors.
1) By pressing the “SET” button, you can display all faulty assignments one after the other.
2) By pressing the “SET” button for more than 5 seconds, you can select the currently
displayed address as a potential target address, and the display starts to blink.
3) If the faulty slave was previously replaced by a slave with address 0, the new slave can now
be programmed for the blinking address by pressing the “SET” key again. As a requirement,
the new slave’s configuration data must match the configuration data for the blinking
address.
4) After the address has been successfully set, the next faulty assignment is displayed or the
display erased. otherwise, the system displays an error. For error information, refer to
section 6.4.

FX2N-32ASI-M AS-interface Master Block Diagnostics 8.
8. Diagnostics
8.1 Preliminary Checks

1) Check “POWER” and “U ASI” LED.
a) If “POWER” LED is OFF, check the connection of the 32ASI-M extension cable to the
programmable controller.
b) If “U ASI” LED is OFF, check the current rating of AS-interface power supply, wiring and, total
distance of system. For detail of total distance, refer to section 8.1 6).
2) Check the 24 V DC power supply for slave.
If whether this power supply capacity is not enough or miss-wiring is, the slave is not normal
operation.
3) Check “ASI ACTIVE” and “CONFIG ERR” LED.
a) If “ASI ACTIVE” LED is OFF, check the wiring about the slave.
b) If “CONFIG ERR” LED is ON, check the wiring about the slave. And see section 8.2.
4) Check total slave number.
If total slave number is more than 31, please remove an unnecessary slave and adjust the number of
total slaves to 31 or less.
5) Check whether it is an intended slave configuration.
If it is not so, please remake slave configuration.
6) Check total extension distance.
The total extension distance must not exceed 100m (328.1'). However, when the repeater is used, it
is possible to extend by 100m repeater. Repeaters can be used up to two system.
