Our I/O modules – less connectors, more flexibility

Even with just three or more I/O field modules or three I/O stations, AS-Interface offers cost advantages over all other fieldbus systems.

Advantages of our IP20 modules

Use of I/O modules from Bihl+Wiedemann saves hardware costs and control cabinet space.

 

Reduced hardware costs (incl. connector construction)

neither bus couplers nor fieldbus plugs (always one per station) are necessary; instead you need just one Gateway for the entire system.

 

Save valuable control cabinet space

Bihl+Wiedemann modules combine up to 8 inputs and 8 outputs in a 22.5 mm wide housing.

Reduced wiring complexity

Bihl+Wiedemann modules can also be installed in the control cabinet right where the signals are actually needed. I/O Modules can also be installed remotely in the control cabinet.

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.

 

Advantages of our IP67 I/O modules

Using I/O modules with IP67 protection saves hardware and installation costs.

Clear savings in hardware and installation costs

You don’t need either plugs for connecting to the power supply or cumbersome self-assembled fieldbus connectors (2 per fieldbus module). Instead the I/O modules are simply connected using the familiar yellow cable and piercing technique.

Organized installation with ASi modules

In contrast to IP67 modules in comparable fieldbus solutions, which have to be wired in a line, the I/O Modules from Bihl+Wiedemann allow tree structure as a flexible cabling method. This means stubs from the main string can be created anywhere, also enhancing transparency in the network

Self-configuring I/O modules

The modules can be used flexibly and are cost-effective, making them a good alternative to comparable Ethernet or IO-Link-based I/O solutions.

I/O modules are also available in the webshop

Discover our wide range of I/O modules, all compatible with the current ASi-3 and/or ASi-5 standard.

AS-Interface

The standardized fieldbus system AS-Interface (ASi) helps you drastically reduce your wiring complexity. You also benefit from free choice of topology and cost-effective integration of safety features on the same infrastructure.
