As-I equipment on ControlLogix

[Softy]

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help?

I have a system with As-I motor starters and I/O that has to be used on a Rockwell ControLogix platform.
I have found a number of modules to fit into the main controller rack for this. However, I need a module or some type of converter that can reside in a remote panel (ideally a ControlLogix remote I/O rack)for this. Has anyone used any such item?

If not rack mounted, then anyone used an Ethernet/As-i converter on ControLogix to gather As-i I/o data?

TIA

Hi Softy,

I work for a company called HMS Industrial networks and we make just the gateway that you were asking for, namly an As-i master to Ethernet/IP slave gateway.

For more information about the gateway, please visit:

I've used CLX Ethernet to A-si gateway from IFM.COM before. Easy to setup, program and use. IIRC, no CLX programming is needed. Just configure a few parameters in the gateway module via it's front panel LCD & PB's and ypu're good.

Maybe a gateway can serve your purposes:

Thanks all for the replies.
Some interesting ideas there for me to investigate further.
