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.
