ASi-5 modules with integrated IO-Link master

If data only has to be collected from individual, decentrally distributed IO-Link devices, the Mannheim-based company has a cost-effective solution with the active distributors BWU4088 and BWU4077 with one or two IO-Link master ports. Both modules have IP67 protection, are supplied from AUX and can be easily connected to the yellow ASi cable as ASi-5 modules using the piercing technology. 

All the advantages of AS-Interface, such as the freedom of topology and the maximum cable length of 200 m per AS-i network, can be used in this way. The IO-Link devices are connected via one or two M12 cable sockets. BWU4088 has an IO-Link port class B, BWU4077 has one port each class A and class B.
