Bihl+Wiedemann: AS-i 3.0 Profinet Gateway

When using the AS-i 3.0 Profinet gateways with integrated safety monitor and SafeLink up to 31 gateways having an integrated safety monitor can be coupled over Profinet without any additional hardware needed.

The gateway is qualified for large, distributed systems, as in the maximum configuration nearly 2000 safe 2-channel input signals can be efficiently collected and evaluated, and nearly 1000 safe outputs centrally or remotely controlled. Each gateway is thereby able to respond directly to new information – and without use of a failsafe controller.
