Features

This section describes the features of the AnyWireASLINK.
(1) Flexible wiring
The AnyWireASLINK allows flexible connections if the overall cable distance of transmission cables (DP, DN) is
within 200m.
There is no restriction about, for example, the main line length, station-to-station distance, and number of
branches.
Adding a station to
the existing network is
hard with many
restrictions on wiring.
Moreover, because of a little restrictions about cables, cables used for other networks can be used for the
AnyWireASLINK without modification, resulting in reduced wiring man-hours and cable cost.
*1 Before using, check the performance specifications. ( Page 26, Section 3.2.1)
(2) Single-touch cable connection and disconnection
Using a dedicated connector enables cables to be connected and disconnected with a single operation and
eases slave module addition and replacement.
*1 For wiring with the dedicated connectors, contact Anywire Corporation.
(3) Space saving
The system needs much less space because of a wide selection of small-type slave modules (manufactured by
Anywire Corporation).
