Material Handling and Drive technology using the modules for Lenze Smart Motors
LIP Bygningsartikler saves now 22% of the total cost on their conveyor modules thanks to an ASi solution from Bihl+Wiedemann. Each module and the complete system is connected through an ASi network with integrated safety from Bihl+Wiedemann. New conveyor modules can be added simply without additional wiring from the main PLC.

The AS-Interface fieldbus communication has long been established in material handling . Countless companies are benefiting from the easy installation, high flexibility and low costs of ASi; in both the installation of the application and the maintenance work. Bihl+Wiedemann manufactures special modules for controlling Lenze Smart Motors which provide a suitable solution for many different applications.
The decentralized control of the 3-phase motors offers more flexibility compared to conventional systems – both in terms of planning and the subsequent expansion of application structures .
