Splitting into several segments
- Dividing the ASi cable into multiple 100 m networks with their own Master and own power supply or by using double masters
- Short ASi cables minimize interference susceptibility
- Retains all the advantages of a 100 m ASi network
- Not possible without an upper bus system
ASi-3 circuit extension by reflection signal attenuation
... using the ASi Bus Termination
- Very simple and cost-effective solutions using ASi Bus Termination
- Possible network extension by up to 100 m
- ASi network should be checked at commissioning using the Software for Diagnostics, Service and Release Measurements (BW2902)
... using ASi Tuner and ASi Diagnostic Tuner
- Extending the ASi cable by 200 m using the ASi Tuner or ASi Diagnostic Tuner
- Individual optimization of the network impedance
- Optical display of the network signal quality: continuous monitoring
Very long ASi cables by combining ASi Repeaters and ASi Bus Terminations
- ASi cables with a length of for example 1000 m using ASi Repeaters and ASi Bus Terminations
- Maximum 2 ASi Repeaters in a row due to increased signal propagation time
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.
Signal extension with ASi Repeaters in combined ASi-3/ASi-5 installations
- Extension of the ASi cable by up to 100 m with ASi Repeaters, or 200 m with integrated ASi-3 Bus Termination possible
- Areas with very high EMC interference can be bridged
- ASi Repeaters cause a certain delay of each telegram, therefore only max. 2 ASi Repeaters in series are possible
- From the first ASi Repeater no more ASi-5 communication is possible
Advantages of circuit extension with Bihl+Wiedemann
- Simple and cost-effective solution with an ASi Bus Termination
- Improved EMC properties due to galvanic isolation
- ASi cable runs with a length of for example 1,000 m using ASi Repeaters and ASi Bus Terminations
ASi Cable
The yellow ASi cable represents the simplest connection technology and efficient power distribution. Discover how you can save around 68 % on wiring costs compared to round cable solutions.
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.
ASi Repeaters are also available in the webshop
Here you will find ASi Repeaters for installation in the switching cabinet and in IP67 for cable extension up to 1000 m. They are best suited to meet more stringent EMC requirements.
