Power Supply with Bihl+Wiedemann – Space-saving and Economical

30 V power supplies and ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways – together ready for Industrie 4.0 and IIoT

With our ASi-5 devices, you are perfectly equipped for digitization and the requirements of Industry 4.0 – especially thanks to high data bandwidth and shorter cycle times. To complement it, we are offering a modern 30 V power supply generation for our ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways. This generation is ideally suited for parallel ASi-5/ASi-3 communication and is specially optimized for ASi-5 communication. The 30 V power supplies, in combination with our gateways, are directly “Industry 4.0-ready” – without additional IO-Link interfaces or other hardware. In addition, they can supply several ASi circuits simultaneously and are space-saving, since they no longer contain decoupling coils.

Detailed diagnostics in the gateway: ready for Industry 4.0 or IIoT

Our 30 V power supplies in combination with our ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways are directly “Industry 4.0-ready” – without the need to invest in additional IO-Link interfaces or other hardware. The power supply and the gateway form a unit that represents the central data point between field and control level. This means that here a lot of information can be gathered, processed and forwarded directly to the IT or OT – without the detour via the PLC.

 

The diagnostic options in the gateway enable convenient readout of energy-relevant data via OPC UA, among other things. These include:

  • Current
  • Voltage
  • Overvoltage
  • max. current since switch on
  • Earth fault
  • Power fail

You can implement future features directly in your existing system – via a simple and safe firmware update. The combination of 30 V power supplies and ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways is thus a future-proof, intelligent and adaptable component for your Industry 4.0 projects.

Decoupling in the gateway – space-saving, economical and resource-saving

The suitable power supply for every application

The family of 30 V power supplies offers the right size for every application with 4, 8 and 16 A. For example, an 8 A power supply can supply a complete double master gateway with 2 × 4 A decoupling and a single master gateway with 8 A decoupling. A 16 A power supply can supply a complete double master gateway with 2 × 8 A decoupling and two separate double master gateways with 2 × 4 A decoupling each.

The previous generation of ASi power supplies is still available for ASi repeaters and ASi-3 gateways without integrated data decoupling (in the technical data, the criterion “Integrated decoupling, ASi current measurement in the gateway” reads “no”).
