Eight integrated IO-Link master ports
The latest addition to the range of ASi-5 modules with integrated IO-Link master from Bihl+Wiedemann is the ASi-5 module BWU4386 in IP67 with eight IO-Link master ports Class A.
The IO-Link ports for connecting the devices are designed as 5-pin M12 sockets, with an additional I/O signal available on pin 2. The module is connected to ASi and AUX via profile cables using penetration technology. With its eight IO-Link master ports, the module is a cost-effective alternative to comparable Ethernet-based fieldbus modules, according to Bihl+Wiedemann. All ASi-5 modules in IP67 with integrated IO-Link master can be connected exactly where they are needed without switches or pre-assembled cables using penetration technology. This allows over 60 ASi modules with up to eight IO-Link devices each to be connected to an ASi-5/ASi-3 gateway per ASi circuit and their process, parameter and diagnostic data to be transmitted to the cloud or an HMI, for example, via the OPC UA server integrated in the gateway. The connected devices can be commissioned and parameterized using the provider's software suites.
