ASi Modules with integrated IO-Link Masters
With the ASi modules with integrated IO-Link masters from Bihl+Wiedemann intelligent IO-Link sensors and actuators can now be easily incorporated into ASi – exactly there, where they are needed. The IO-Link sensors can be easily parametrized using the configuration tool from Bihl+Wiedemann.
In many application scenarios, IO-Link solutions from Bihl+Wiedemann are much more cost-efficient than similar solutions from other providers. An application with Bihl+Wiedemann is already cheaper than comparable PROFINET variants from three 4-port IO-Link masters. Another factor is the finer granularity. Our 1-port IO-Link master allows you to integrate an IO-Link device exactly where you need it. Thanks to cable-piercing technology, it is extremely easy to install our IO-Link master. You can substantially reduce the time required for assembly.

Figure | Type | "IP20": "IP40": Protected against solid foreign bodies having a diameter of 1.0 mm or larger, protected against access with a wire, no protection against water. "IP54": Protection against dust in damaging amounts, complete protection against contact, protection against splashing water in any angle.
Dust-tight, full protection against contact, protection against temporary immersion. | Number of IO-Link Ports | Port class A (M12): Pin 4 configurable (IO-Link/DI/DO), additional digital input at pin 2. Compatible with 3 pol IO-Link devices (M8). Configurable conectors: Terminal assignment (C/Q, L+, L-, I) compatible with pin assigment of IO-Link port class A (M12). Connected IO-Link devices with port class B (M12) with a higher current consumption have to be supplied directly via a separate power supply. Compatible with 3 pol IO-Link devices (M8). | Port class B (M12): Pin 4 configurable (IO-Link/DI/DO), additional power supply (galvanically isolated) for IO-Link devices at pins 2 and 5. Compatible with 3 pol IO-Link devices (M8). Configurable conectors: Terminal assignment (C/Q, L+, L-, I) compatible with pin assigment of IO-Link port class A (M12). Connected IO-Link devices with port class B (M12) with a higher current consumption have to be supplied directly via a separate power supply. Compatible with 3 pol IO-Link devices (M8). | IO-Link and additional inputs/outputs are supplied by ASi or by AUX (auxiliary 24 V power). If supplied by ASi, inputs can neither be connected to earth nor to external potential. | Connection via M12: For IO-Link ports class B the supply of actuators is provided by an additional (galvanically isolated) power supply by AUX (auxiliary 24 V power) via Pin 2 (P24) and Pin 5 (N24). Connection via clamps: If connected IO-Link Devices with IO-Link ports class B need a higher current consumption, additionally they can be supplied directly via the power supply. | COM1 = 4.8 kBaud COM2 = 38.4 kBaud COM3 = 230.4 kBaud (optional according to Specification V1.0)
An IO-Link device supports only one of the defined data transmission rates. According to Specification V1.1, the IO-Link master supports all data transmission rates and adapts itself automatically to the data transmission rate supported by the device. | IO-Link specification | The connection to ASi as well to AUX (auxiliary 24 V power) is made via yellow resp. black ASi profile cable with piercing technology or via M12 socket (in IP20 via clamps).
| AB address (max. 62 AB addresses/ASi network), 2 AB addresses (max. 31 modules with 2 AB addresses), Single addresses (max. 31 Single addresses/ASi network), ASi-5 address (max. 62 ASi-5 addresses/ASi network), mixed use allowed. | Article No. |
