ASi-5/ASi-3 Gateways with 8 A decoupling coils and 30 V power supplies – a combination with many interesting advantages
Bihl+Wiedemann has added ASi-5/ASi-3 Gateways with two ASi networks and two 8 A decoupling coils to its portfolio which have been especially designed for large ASi-3 and ASi-5 applications with many devices. The company now also offers 30 V power supplies especially developed for ASi-5 communication.
Combining the two new family members results in many interesting benefits for the user:
- Seamless ASi-5 communication – all new power supplies have been optimized for use with ASi-5/ASi-3 Gateways and were extensively tested with them.
- Reduced costs – especially since the data decoupling function is now integrated in the ASi-5/ASi-3 Gateways, making the 30 V power supplies more economical than previous ASi power supplies.
- Space savings in the control cabinet – the 30 V power supplies can be placed side-by-side and are significantly more compact compared to the ASi power supplies with decoupling coils.
- Detailed diagnostics in the gateway– thanks to the integrated ASi current measurement the power consumption of the ASi installation can be permanently monitored.
- Field update capability – firmware and security updates are installed tamper-resistant and new functions are quickly available.
- Integrated OPC UA server and webserver – data from the field level can be transmitted directly to Industry 4.0 applications.
