BWU2798 BIHL WIEDEMANN

BIHL WIEDEMANN BWU2798 Product Details

The BIHL WIEDEMANN BWU2798 is an ASi-3 PROFINET Gateway with an integrated Safety Monitor. It serves as a communication interface between an AS-Interface (ASi) network and a PROFINET network, while also providing safety functionalities.

Key Features:

• ASi Master: Integrates one ASi master, allowing connection to ASi slaves.

• Power Supply: Includes one power supply for two ASi networks, offering a cost-effective solution.

• Safety Inputs: Features 6 digital inputs configurable as 3 x 2-channel safe inputs (SIL 3, Cat. 4), expandable up to 31 x 2-channel safe inputs (1891 x 2 channels in maximum configuration).

• Safety Outputs: Equipped with 6 release circuits (6 x electronic safe outputs), expandable up to 31 safe outputs (991 safe outputs in maximum configuration).

• Safe Link: Supports Safe Link for secure safety communication.

• Diagnostics and Configuration: Offers diagnostic and configuration capabilities via PROFINET or an Ethernet diagnostic interface.

• Duplicate Address Recognition: Detects duplicate ASi addresses to prevent communication errors.

• ASi Fault Detector: Helps in identifying faults within the ASi network.

• Optional Programming: Allows optional programming in C.

• Protection Class: IP20 rated for control cabinet installation.
