Overview

SIST EN 62026-2:2013/A1:2020 is a European amendment standard focused on low-voltage switchgear and controlgear with specific regard to Controller-Device Interfaces (CDIs). Part 2 of this standard addresses the Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-i), a widely adopted networking solution for automation systems connecting simple field devices such as sensors and actuators in industrial environments. The standard, maintained by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), aligns with the IEC 62026-2:2008/A1:2019 international standard, ensuring harmonization across Europe and internationally.

This amendment introduces updates relevant to insulation monitoring, immunity testing, and compatibility with related safety standards, enhancing the robustness and interoperability of AS-i interfaces in low-voltage control gear applications.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Purpose
    Defines requirements for the Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-i) within low-voltage switchgear and controlgear systems, facilitating communication between controllers and field devices with a focus on safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

  • Insulation Monitoring and Earth-Fault Detection
    Incorporates guidelines consistent with IEC 60204-1 to ensure insulation faults in control circuits do not cause unintended machine operation, mandating insulation monitoring devices for AS-i networks controlling potentially hazardous machine movements.

  • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
    Establishes stringent immunity and emission test procedures referencing IEC 61000 series standards, including radiated and conducted disturbance tests (IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-3, IEC 61000-4-6), ensuring reliable performance of AS-i networks in electrically noisy industrial environments.

  • Device and Network Testing
    Specifies type testing methods and performance criteria (Criterion A) for AS-i components, including the operating environment temperature range and fault tolerance levels, crucial for certified product compliance and interoperability.

  • Updated Normative References
    Incorporates the latest relevant international standards related to low-voltage switchgear, electrical safety, and EMC to provide an up-to-date framework supporting AS-i interface operation and product conformity.

Applications

  • Industrial Automation
    SIST EN 62026-2:2013/A1:2020 supports the deployment of AS-i networks in factory automation setups, enabling seamless integration of sensors and actuators with control equipment to optimize manufacturing efficiency and safety.

  • Machine Safety and Control
    By ensuring proper earth-fault detection and insulation monitoring, the standard aids safety compliance in machinery control circuits, reducing risks of unintentional machine startups and hazardous operations.

  • Building and Infrastructure Management
    The standard's protocols for low-voltage switchgear interfacing make it suitable for automation in building management systems, such as HVAC controls, lighting, and access systems.

  • Standardized Device Profiles
    Facilitates interoperability among devices from various manufacturers by referencing device profiles for networked industrial equipment, which simplifies system design and maintenance.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60204-1:2016 – Safety requirements for electrical equipment of machines, focusing on general machinery safety principles applicable to AS-i networks.
  • IEC 60947 Series – Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear standards, covering general rules and specific apparatus such as contactors and motor-starters.
  • IEC 61000 Series – Electromagnetic compatibility standards detailing testing and measurement techniques for immunity and disturbances relevant to AS-i device environments.
  • IEC 61800-2 – General requirements for low-voltage adjustable speed power drive systems, which often interface with AS-i controlled devices.
  • CISPR 11:2015 – Standard for industrial, scientific, and medical equipment radio-frequency disturbance characteristics, relevant for ensuring electromagnetic compatibility.
  • IEC 61915 Series – Device profiles for networked industrial devices, supporting interoperability across different manufacturers’ AS-i compatible products.

By adhering to SIST EN 62026-2:2013/A1:2020, manufacturers and system integrators ensure AS-i based controlgear and switchgear operate reliably, safely, and conform to European and international requirements. This facilitates smoother market access, reduces installation risks, and supports effective industrial automation solutions with enhanced safety and EMC characteristics.
