The Siemens 3SF3200-6GV00-0BA1 is a communication-capable position switch with an integrated AS-i adapter, built for direct connection to an AS-interface network without a separate I/O module. The mechanical active principle and positive opening switching function mean the NC contacts break physically when the actuator is forced — a safety requirement for guard-door monitoring or end-of-travel limits where a welded contact must not mask the open state. The housing is a molded-plastic block design per EN 50047, screw-fixed, and rated IP65, so it handles washdown and dusty environments on packaging lines, conveyors, or machine guarding.
Two NC contacts and zero NO contacts: this switch is wired for safety circuits that need a normally-closed path in the guarded state. The twist lever actuator is a standard roller-crank design — it trips when the cam or striker passes, with a slow-action break. The AS-i connection uses the insulation displacement method, meaning the flat cable is punched into the adapter without stripping; plan for the AS-i addressing tool at commissioning.
