Flexible as never before – our PROFIsafe Gateways

The new ASi-3 Gateways from Bihl+Wiedemann in the PROFIsafe via PROFIBUS or PROFINET now offer the greatest possible flexibility when using the local I/Os in the integrated Safety Monitor. You can configure terminals as inputs (OSSD or potential-free) or as outputs: Either as 6 safety outputs plus 3 safety 2-channel inputs, or as 6 safety 2-channel inputs, or as standard I/Os – even any combination of the above. Take advantage of this flexibility in your system.

The ASi-3 PROFIsafe Gateways in detail

  • 16 terminals on the integrated Safety Monitor for configuration, e.g.:
    • as 6 safety outputs plus 3 safety 2-channel inputs, or
    • as 6 safety 2-channel inputs, or
    • as standard I/Os, or
    • any combination thereof
  • Read safety inputs via PROFIsafe and switch safety ASi outputs decentrally via PROFIsafe
  • Available as PROFIsafe via PROFIBUS or via PROFINET
  • Integrated ASi Master handles up to 31 safety or 248 standard I/Os (or a combination thereof)
  • For use in compact or widely distributed systems
  • ASi Power24V-capable for use in compact systems: Eliminates the ASi power supply
  • Enhanced diagnostics capability, such as duplicate address detection, integrated earth fault and EMC monitor
