IO-LINK WITH BIHL+WIEDEMANN: EASY, FLEXIBLE & COST-EFFICIENT
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.
Simple and cost-effective IO-Link integration
The Bihl+Wiedemann ASi-5 slave / IO-Link master is a cost-effective alternative to an IO-Link master with 4 ports and PROFINET interface. If ASi is already present in your system, our module makes sense right from the first IO-Link device. If you exclusively intend on putting together a collection of IO-Link components, our module pays off from approximately ten IO-Link devices.
The advantages of IO-Link with Bihl+Wiedemann:
- You can integrate significantly more IO-Link masters per Ethernet node and benefit from freely selectable topology
- You only pay for as many IO-Link ports as you really need – because in addition to the 4-port IO-Link master we also offer you IO-Link masters with 1 and 2 ports
- You benefit from easy integration of the IO-Link master via our configuration tool ASIMON360
- You can combine our IO-Link masters optimally with IO-Link devices from various manufacturers
- You save costs. Our IO-Link solutions are cheaper than comparable PROFINET solutions with at least three 4-port IO-Link masters
