Foire aux questions

1. Can firmware be upgraded to add Chinese language?

Official firmware does not support Chinese, and no third-party localization solution exists. English interface is widely adopted for on-site commissioning in China.

2. Does the older VBP-HH1-V3.0-V1 version support the same languages?

Cohérent; only German and English, no Chinese available.

Compatibility Scope of VBP-HH1-V3.0 (KIT Set) – Core Conclusion

Compatibility is not limited by sensor model, but governed by the [AS‑Interface V3.0 protocol standard]

✅ All AS‑i slaves complying with AS‑i Spec V2.1 / V3.0 (all brands supported) can be addressed and commissioned;

❌ ASi‑5 (AS‑i 5.0) new-generation slaves are not supported.

2. Flat cable piercing AS‑i sensors (no independent addressing socket)

→ Adapter required; cannot connect directly to handheld unit

3. Third-party B+W, Siemens AS‑i modules

Normal addressing, ID reading and I/O monitoring as long as equipped with standard AS‑i addressing port

4. Important Limitations & Éviter les pièges
5. ASi‑5 (AS‑Interface 5.0) not supported

New models such as BW4708 and Siemens ASi‑5 modules cannot be identified;

2. Rare legacy AS‑i V2.0 slaves (non-V2.1) carry compatibility risks;
3. Available functions only: Adressage, ID reading, I/O monitoring, forced output, basic diagnosis;

Advanced parameter configuration (filtering, PID for intelligent sensors) depends on whether the slave opens standard AS‑i parameter channels;

4. For analog slaves: Only basic communication testing available; complex range calibration requires original manufacturer software
5. Universal Quick Judgment Rule

Check the nameplate of any AS‑i sensor/module:

Marked AS‑Interface V2.1 / V3.0 → Compatible with VBP‑HH1‑V3.0

Marked ASi‑5 / AS‑Interface 5.0 → Not compatible

Core Judgment Principle (Most Important)

This handheld unit is not restricted by sensor model, but complies with bus standards

✅ All Pepperl+Fuchs integrated AS‑i sensors and AS‑i modules compliant with AS‑Interface V2.1 / V3.0 are fully supported

❌ ASi‑5 (AS‑Interface 5.0) new-generation devices are unsupported

❌ Ordinary 3-wire switching sensors (without AS‑i bus interface) cannot be addressed

Models suffixed with ‑AS‑I / B3B = AS‑i bus type and supported; ordinary suffixes such as ‑E0 / E2 / V1 denote standard sensors without bus function and cannot be addressed.
