Outlook: M8 Modules – New housing family in the range of Bihl+Wiedemann
Bihl+Wiedemann has developed a new housing family: M8 Modules in protection rating IP67 e.g. BW3521
- Increased number of sensors and actuators available with M8 connection for which adapters to M12 sockets used to be required
- Same form factor as small housing of the M12 Modules (45 mm x 80 mm)
- Equipped with 8 sockets: twice the amount of sockets in the same expanse as M12 Modules
- Connection of AS-i and AUX using profile cable
- Ideal for applications with limited space (e.g. robot arms)

Safe coupling between PROFIsafe and CIP Safety
- Safe data exchange between the safe protocols PROFIsafe and CIP Safety is now possible
- Can be implemented with the AS-i 3.0 Gateways with integrated Safety Monitor BWU3367 and BWU3683 using Safe Link
- Up to 16 bytes can be sent
- Automatic configuration using the configuration software ASIMON360
- Simply select the Gateways in the software menu
Update of diagnostic software (BW2902)
- Improvements in functionality and visual representation:
- Revised user interface: optimized representation of the starting window and the window for interface settings
- Introduction of test data as ring buffer, duration of the buffer memory can be set, maximum duration: 7 days
- Reduced number of windows during a measurement as default in order to hide unnecessary information. Further information can be shown via option ‚extended view‘
- Reduction of exclusion criteria for test runs
- Error description and solution hints in a dedicated tab
- Additional tab for warnings and information
