ASi lines longer than 100 m

Options for circuit extension with Bihl+Wiedemann

Profit from the variety of ways to extend ASi cable runs to 1000 m for example. Use the ASi Bus Termination, ASi Tuner and ASi Repeaters to extend the range of the ASi network flexibly and cost-effectively.

Splitting into several segments

  • Dividing the ASi cable into multiple 100 m networks with their own Master and own power supply or by using double masters
  • Short ASi cables minimize interference susceptibility
  • Retains all the advantages of a 100 m ASi network
  • Not possible without an upper bus system

... using the ASi Bus Termination

 

 

... using ASi Tuner and ASi Diagnostic Tuner

    • Extending the ASi cable by 200 m using the ASi Tuner or ASi Diagnostic Tuner
    • Individual optimization of the network impedance
    • Optical display of the network signal quality: continuous monitoring

      Save valuable resources

      With AS-Interface, you do not need expensive plugs or sockets and only a single cable. This significantly reduces assembly times and material costs. In addition, valuable resources such as copper or plastic, which are required to manufacture the components, can be saved on a large scale. And energy consumption during cable production is greatly reduced. There is also a positive environmental effect when it comes to disposal – less waste is produced.

       

      Less connectors – More connection

      Signal extension with ASi Repeaters in combined ASi-3/ASi-5 installations

      • Extension of the ASi cable by up to 100 m with ASi Repeaters, or 200 m with integrated ASi-3 Bus Termination possible
      • Areas with very high EMC interference can be bridged
      • ASi Repeaters cause a certain delay of each telegram, therefore only max. 2 ASi Repeaters in series are possible
      • From the first ASi Repeater no more ASi-5 communication is possible
