IO-LINK WITH BIHL+WIEDEMANN: EASY, FLEXIBLE & COST-EFFICIENT

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.

SELF-CONFIGURING I/O MODULES – FLEXIBLE, FINE-GRAINED, COST-EFFECTIVE

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 UP TO SIL3/PLE – A COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE

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.

Lenze Drives are a perfect match for ASi-5

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.

EFFICIENT CONTROL OF INTERROLL EC5000 AI MOTORIZED ROLLERS WITH ASI-5

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.

SAVE PLENTY OF MONEY ON WIRING BY USING ASI PROFILE CABLES

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.

Connect various IO-Link devices to ASi using just one cable

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.
