Active Distributors ASi
Active distributors ASi from Bihl+Wiedemann allow you to make any sensor or actuator AS-Interface capable. Even modules without their own ASi terminal can be easily integrated into an existing ASi network using these active distributors ASi. Other features include individually configurable connection options using M8 or M12 connectors, flying leads or push-in termimals to conform to the customer’s application, as well as a compact form factor, making them ideal for use in cable ducts.
Active Distributors ASi, IP67/IP54
- up to 8 cable connections
- round cable/connecting wires
- ASi addressing cable socket
- M8 cable sockets, straight
- M12 cable sockets, straight/angled
| Figure | Type | Housing | "IP20": "IP40": Protected against solid foreign bodies having a diameter of 1.0 mm or larger, protected against access with a wire, no protection against water. "IP54": Protection against dust in damaging amounts, complete protection against contact, protection against splashing water in any angle.
Dust-tight, full protection against contact, protection against temporary immersion. | Inputs digital | Outputs digital | inputs are supplied by ASi or by AUX (auxiliary 24 V power). If supplied by ASi, inputs shall not be connected to earth or to external potential. | Electronic outputs are supplied by ASi or by AUX (auxiliary 24 V power). If supplied by ASi, outputs shall not be connected to earth or to external potential.
For relay outputs the relay contacts are initiated from ASi. The load circuit is powered externally as specified in the data sheet. | PUR line, oil resistant. Further connection options are available on request.
| either as a single–wiring, Y–wiring or mixed-wiring.
| Under normal conditions (no bus termination or repeater), the permissible total length of the ASi segment is max. 100 m. The calculation should take into consideration that the length of the connection cable (round cable) for each connected passive distributor must be doubled. In the case of the active distributors (ASi slaves) however only the one ASi profile cable is counted. | Modules with a flat housing design and with cables which exit the sides make these ideal for installation in cable ducts, cable channels, cable troughs, cable rails or cable trays. Please note the respective housing depth for your particular installation. | Profile cable connection | The connection to ASi as well to AUX (auxiliary 24 V power) is made via yellow resp. black ASi profile cable with piercing technology or via M12 socket (in IP20 via clamps).
| AB Slave (max. 62 AB Slaves/ASi network), 2 AB Slaves (max. 31 modules with 2 AB Slaves), Single Slaves (max. 31 Single Slaves/ASi network), ASi-5 Slave (max. 62 ASi-5 Slaves/ASi network), mixed use allowed. | Special function | Article No. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
