Overview
The digital AS-Interface compact modules of Series K60, are
characterized by optimized handling and greater user friendli-
ness as compared with the application modules. They enable
the user to reduce the installation and start-up times for
AS-Interface by up to 40%.
AS-Interface modules of the K60 compact series comprise two
sections:
• the mounting plate and
• the compact module.
The AS-Interface shaped cables and the compact module are
connected to the mounting plate. Two mounting plates are of-
fered for
• wall mounting and
• mounting onto standard mounting rails
AS-Interface modules of the compact series feature a connec-
tion for protective earth conductors. Addressing can also be
performed in the installed state via an addressing socket inte-
grated in the compact module.
K60 compact modules with up to four digital inputs
and outputs
These compact modules contain the communications electron-
ics and the standard M12 connections for inputs and outputs.
Up to four sensors and four actuators can be connected to the
compact module easily and reliably via standard M12 plugs.
The mounting plate and compact module are connected to-
gether with a single screw which simultaneously causes contact
to be made with the AS-Interface cable using the insulation pen-
etration technique.
K60 compact modules with up to eight digital inputs
This module has eight digital inputs which can be connected via
M12 plugs.
The module requires two AS-Interface addresses for processing
all eight inputs. The addresses can be assigned here in the
same manner as for a compact module via a double addressing
socket.

The compact modules are mounted on the mounting plate in just
two work stages:
• The AS-Interface flat cable is laid on the mounting plate.
• The module is located and fixed with a screw.
Contact is made with the AS-Interface cable by the insulation
piercing terminals integrated in the top section when the screw
is screwed down.
Addressing is performed via an integrated addressing socket.
M12 sockets that are not required must be sealed with
3RK1 901-1KA00 sealing caps in order to guarantee the speci-
fied degree of protection. The compact module with eight digital
inputs requires two AS-Interface addresses. The addresses are
assigned using a double addressing socket integrated into the
module.
K60 mounting plate
The K60 mounting plate is used for mounting digital and analog
K60 compact modules. They have cable connectors for the
yellow and black AS-Interface flat cable.
If the yellow and black AS-Interface cables are completely
routed through the module, no additional seals are necessary.
Additional seals are only necessary when both leads or only one
lead ends inside the module. In this case, additional seals
(straight and shaped) must be inserted in the mounting plate.
The seals are not included in the scope of supply and must be
ordered separately (3RK1 902-0AR00, see Selection and
Ordering data).
