Bihl+Wiedemann GmbH, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Mannheim, Germany, specializes in developing and manufacturing comprehensive automation solutions for functional safety and data communication in machines and plants. Their offerings are primarily based on AS-Interface (ASi), a globally standardized fieldbus system for the first level of automation. Bihl+Wiedemann's product portfolio includes ASi masters/gateways, I/O modules, safety components, and software tools, catering to various industries worldwide. The company's commitment to innovation and customer-centric development has established it as a trusted partner for leading manufacturers of consumer and capital goods.
New to our extensive product portfolio is the ASi-5 motor module for the Lenze i550 motec frequency inverter (BWU4974). Its particularly flat design is ideal for installation in cable duct, and since it is supplied exclusively via ASi, no AUX line is required.
Discover the cost-effective, compact Safety Basic Monitor (BWU2852) – a stand-alone small control with two safe wear-free semiconductor outputs and up to three safe 2-channel inputs or six digital I/Os.
The 30 V power supplies are perfect for ASi-5 communication and parallel ASi-5/ASi-3 communication. They can additionally supply several ASi circuits and save space, since they have no decoupling coils anymore.
The new BWU4969 48 V brake chopper is now available. It extends our product portfolio for drive technology and material handling – and has comparable advantages to the BWU4915 24 V brake chopper.
With our new active distributors ASi-5BWU4083 and BWU4101 you can easily control almost all common (digital) LED Stripes - thanks to the separate profiles for RGB and RGBW as well as the intuitive configuration via the cyclic data.
Count on a powerful combination when commissioning your ASi system: by using the new compact ASi-5/ASi-3 address programming device (BW4708) together with the Bihl+Wiedemann Software Suite, you combine the advantages of decentralized addressing with those of centralized planning and parameterization.
The ASi-5/ASi-3 PROFIsafe via PROFINET Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor is now also available as a single master without integrated I/Os: The BWU4018 is thus a cost-effective entry-level model that helps you exploit ASi advantages in the PROFIsafe environment.
Do you already use the manufacturer-independent IO-Link interface to connect sensors and actuators to the control system level? Bihl+Wiedemann IO-Link solutions are user-friendly and cost-saving at the same time. With ASi-5, it is possible to integrate any IO-Link device into ASi and to configure it with up to 32 bytes of process data.
