Building Automation

The benefits of AS-Interface – such as the simple, cost-saving installation and high degree of flexibility – have now established themselves in building automation. Numerous companies are already using the ASi installation system, for example for controlling fire and smoke dampers, shutter drives or heating and cooling ceilings using analog output modules. Damper drives with flow regulators can be connected to the controller through the MP-Bus gateway. It is also possible to process EnOcean signals from wireless pushbuttons and sensors over ASi. During your planning and application implementation phases we can be at your side and are open to application-specific special solutions.

Active Distributors ASi, IP67/IP20

Figure Inputs digital Outputs digital

inputs are supplied by ASi or by AUX (24 V or 48 V auxiliary power). If supplied by ASi, inputs shall not be connected to earth or to external potential.

Input voltage (sensor supply)

Electronic outputs are supplied by ASi or by AUX (24 V or 48 V auxiliary power). If supplied by ASi, outputs shall not be connected to earth or to external potential.

 

For relay outputs the relay contacts are initiated from ASi. The load circuit is powered externally as specified in the data sheet.

Output voltage (actuator supply)

Modules with a flat housing design and with cables which exit the sides make these ideal for installation in cable ducts, cable channels, cable troughs, cable rails or cable trays. Please note the respective housing depth for your particular installation.

Flat design, installation in cable duct possible

Display of the status of the inputs/outputs, ASi communication or peripheral errors and the status of the AUX supply according to the ASi specification.

LED status display
Connection

Under normal conditions (no bus termination or repeater), the permissible total length of the ASi segment is max. 100 m. The calculation should take into consideration that the length of the connection cable (round cable) for each connected passive distributor must be doubled.

In the case of the active distributors (ASi modules) however only the one ASi profile cable is counted.

Round cable

Bihl+Wiedemann offers modules with AB address, single address or ASi-5 address. In some cases, ASi modules can occupy several (different) addresses. Mixed operation of modules with different addressing in the same ASi circuit is permitted.
For ASi modules with two ASi-3 nodes, the second ASi-3 node is turned off as long as the first ASi-3 node is addressed to address "0".
Upon request, ASi modules are available with specific ASi node profiles.
