ASi Safety I/O Modules - Bihl+Wiedemann GmbH

Bihl+Wiedemann offers the right module for accessing any safety input signal. Both control cabinet modules (IP20) and field modules (IP67) are available. From a single safety input or output to safety multi-I/O modules we offer the right ASi modul for your requirements. Many of our modules also include available outputs for standard signals.

M8/M12 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 modules) however only the one ASi profile cable is counted.

Round cable

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.

Flat design, installation in cable duct possible

status of in- and outputs is indicated by LEDs. In addition to that, both ASi LEDs (PWR green and FAULT red) show - as usual regarding the ASi modules - the status of the ASi modules. Uaux is indicated by a green LED.
