Powering the AS-Interface network -- AS-Interface is unique and particularly easy to work with.  For instance, power and communication are transmitted over a simple two-conductor cable.  Since cost and reliability are always a concern, AS-Interface was designed as a floating solution running at a slightly elevated voltage of 30.5 VDC.  Why?  Just listen. --30 VDC makes costly DC-DC converters unnecessary --AS-Interface power supplies come with internal decoupling allowing power and communication --Power supplies are offered for primary supply voltages between 24 VDC and 500 VAC 3-phase
