Bihl+Wiedemann has expanded its portfolio of products with an ASi-5/ASi-3 CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP + Modbus TCP Gateway (BWU3857), one of the first Gateways using the new ASi-5 standard. With this device not only larger amounts of data can be transmitted significantly faster and also intelligent devices can be integrated in a simple way, it also allows a very simple integration of the 2-wire safety network ASi Safety at Work into a PLC with a safety controller. Through this integration the safety system becomes clearer and allows the user to save time during commissioning and maintenance.

The Gateway, available in the version "1 Gateway, 1 Power Supply for 2 ASi networks," fits for complex applications, e.g., for large, distributed systems with different safety networks and many safe signals or applications where a lot of standard signals are to be taken into the safety configuration. With the Gateway, safe input modules are read via CIP Safety and safe output modules can switch via CIP Safety. Moreover, safe ASi outputs are supported in both ASi networks.

The CIP Safety Gateway features two ASi-5 masters and two ASi-3 masters and is therefore able to communicate as an ASi-5 master and an ASi-3 master simultaneously in two ASi networks. It is equipped with three 2-channel safe inputs and six safe outputs, with an onboard webserver for simple diagnostics and remote maintenance and with an OPC UA server for a simple incorporation into industry 4.0 applications. The Chip Card also integrated in the device allows to easily store and transfer the configuration data.
