Do you already use the manufacturer-independent IO-Link interface to connect sensors and actuators to the control system level? Bihl+Wiedemann IO-Link solutions are user-friendly and cost-saving at the same time. With ASi-5, it is possible to integrate any IO-Link device into ASi and to configure it with up to 32 bytes of process data.

Discover our new product family of self-configuring I/O modules. We currently provide modules with 4, 8 and 16 digital signals, which can be used bidirectionally as inputs or outputs. This allows many different applications to be implemented with the same module – simplifying planning and spare parts management.

Passive safety is becoming increasingly important as a cost-effective alternative for achieving machine safety. With conventional functional safety solutions, one must have a safe – and therefore expensive – output for each actuator. This allows all actuators to be safely switched off individually.

With ASi-5 you can utilize applications with both 24 V and 48 V motorized rollers — and benefit from the typical ASi advantages: easy installation, high flexibility and low costs.

For many years, customers have enjoyed the benefits of AS-Interface for controlling Lenze Drives and frequency inverters. The free topology and cost-effective installation technology of ASi saves both time and money. Bihl+Wiedemann added to this perfect match with additional products like the ASi-5 self-configuring 8 I/O module (BWU4232). This module is ideal for the Lenze Smart Motor or other drives with binary control and four additional signals – either inputs or outputs.

Bihl+Wiedemann is expanding their already wide range of drive solutions: Our new ASi-5 motor modules for EC5000 AI (BWU4246, BWU4212) provide energy-efficient control of 24 V and 48 V motors. Furthermore, the modules offer a flexible and cost-effective solution for power distribution - because 20 W, 35 W or even up to 50 W are available via the AUX line.

Discover how easy and cost-effective it is to integrate a wide variety of IO-Link devices into your system – with our Small Starter Kit ASi-5/IO-Link, which is available in two versions.

Do you want to significantly reduce your wiring costs? Then use our ASi solutions and the 2-core ASi cable, which transmits power and data simultaneously. The cost advantage over round cable solutions with conventional M12 or 7/8" connectors can be as high as 68 percent, check out more details on our cost comparison.

Would you like to connect intelligent IO-Link sensors or actuators to your control system? ASi-5 makes it extremely easy to connect IO-Link devices with different functions and from different manufacturers.
