ASi EtherCAT Gateways - High Availability and Ideal for Beckhoff PLC

EtherCAT Gateways for standard and safety – always equipped with OPC UA and REST API

Our ASi gateways with EtherCAT interface are available with and without an integrated safety monitor. They are ideal for connecting AS-Interface (ASi) to a Beckhoff PLC. With the state-of-the-art IT interfaces OPC UA and REST API, you can implement IIoT projects quickly and easily. As an edge device, a single gateway collects data from hundreds of sensors and actuators - and can make it available to cloud-based databases, for example.

 

All modern ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways can be securely updated in the field and can therefore meet future safety requirements long after commissioning. In addition, ASi already guarantees a high level of cyber security due to its structure. Find out more about IIoT and Industry 4.0 here.

For standard applications:

ASi EtherCAT Gateways without integrated safety monitor

We recommend the "Bihl+Wiedemann's Choice" articles BWU3854, BWU4790 and BWU2720 for almost all standard applications. Here you also benefit from our new power supply generation.

BWU3991

  • 1 ASi circuit, 1 ASi-5/ASi-3 Master
  • integrated decoupling
  • Max. 4 A per ASi network
  • Ethernet diagnostic

  • Safety communication via Safe Link

For Safety over EtherCAT applications:

ASi-5/ASi-3 Safety over EtherCAT Gateways

For applications in which Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) devices are to be integrated without a higher-level safety controller, we recommend our ASi-5 Safety over EtherCAT Gateways. With the integrated FSoE master function, for example, up to 32 FSoE drives can be safely switched off directly.
