Our ASi PROFINET Gateways – High Availability and Ideal for Siemens PLCs
ASi PROFINET Gateways for Standard and Safety – always equipped with OPC UA and REST API
Our ASi gateways with PROFINET interface are available with and without an integrated safety monitor. They are ideal for connecting AS-Interface (ASi) to a Siemens PLC. With the state-of-the-art IT interfaces OPC UA and REST API, you can implement IIoT projects quickly and easily. As an edge device, a single gateway collects data from hundreds of sensors and actuators - and can make it available to cloud-based databases, for example.
All modern ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways can be securely updated in the field and can therefore meet future safety requirements long after commissioning. In addition, ASi already guarantees a high level of cyber security due to its structure. Find out more about IIoT and Industry 4.0 here.
For standard applications:
ASi PROFINET Gateways without integrated safety monitor
We recommend the "Bihl+Wiedemann's Choice" articles BWU3847 and BWU3852 for almost all standard applications. Here you also benefit from our new power supply generation.
However, if you need more than 4A per ASi circuit, you can also use the ASi PROFINET Gateways BWU3848 (for 1 ASi circuit) and BWU4257 (for 2 ASi circuits).
For Safety applications:
ASi PROFINET Gateways with integrated safety monitor
We recommend the "Bihl+Wiedemann's Choice" articles BWU3955 and BWU3952 for almost all Safety applications. Here you also benefit from our new power supply generation.
However, if you are dependent on a specific higher-level F-CPU - e.g. due to the use of safe Siemens drive systems - you can alternatively use the ASi PROFINET Gateways BWU3954 (for 1 ASi circuit) and BWU3953 (for 2 ASi circuits). Both gateways offer an integrated PROFIsafe communication for easy integration of the safe signals into the F-CPU.

This video uses a simple configuration as an example to show you how to set up an ASi-5/ASi-3 PROFINET gateway in ASIMON360 and integrate it into the Siemens control system. The video tutorial also includes a quick start guide as PDF.

To exchange the ASi Master, you only have to add a new GSDML file. The device description file can be downloaded from our website and be integrated into the control system. This transfers all necessary data to the control system, thus enabling easy integration of the ASi Master and naming of the data to be transferred.
