AS-i syntax tables

Refer to the following tables when creating format specification files and editing data for AS-i ports, devices, and discrete I/O.

Table: Valid Field Values for AS-Interface Ports
Field	Valid Values	Required for Import
description	As many as 255 characters using any keyboard characters	No
node_name	Any valid node name.	Yes
card_slot	1 through 8	Yes
asi_port_slot	P01 and P02	Yes
enable	True or False	No
ctrlr_fail_action	Reset devices Continue polling	No
auto_addr_enable	True or False	No

For an import an AS-Interface port to succeed, an AS-i card must already exist in the card slot you are importing to.

Table: Valid Field Values for AS-Interface Devices
Field	Valid Values	Required for Import
description	As many as 255 characters using any keyboard characters.	No
node_name	Any valid node name.	Yes
card_slot	1 through 8	Yes
asi_port_slot	PO1 and PO2	Yes
asi_dev_tag	As many as 16 characters. The string must contain one alphabetical character and can include the following: $, -, _	Yes
asi_dev_addr	1 to 31	Yes
asi_dev_type	Sample 2In x 2Out module Sample proximity sensor Any other user-defined type	Yes

asi_dev_param0_enable	True or False	No
asi_dev_param1_enable	True or False	No
asi_dev_param2_enable	True or False	No
asi_dev_param3_enable	True or False	No

For an import or export of an AS-Interface device to succeed, an AS-i card must already exist in the card slot you are importing to.

Table: Valid Field Values for AS-Interface Discrete I/O
Field	Valid Values	Required for Import
description	As many as 255 characters using any keyboard characters	No
node_name	Any valid node name.	Yes
card_slot	1 through 8	Yes
asi_port_slot	P01 and P02	Yes
asi_dev_addr	1 to 31	Yes
asi_dev_tag	As many as 16 characters. The string must contain one alphabetical character and can include the following: $, -, _	Yes
