Connect Various IO-Link Devices to ASi Using Just One Cable

May 11, 2020

Would you like to connect intelligent IO-Link sensors or actuators to your control system? ASi-5 makes it extremely easy to connect IO-Link devices with different functions and from different manufacturers.

Free choice of topology

Using the function-independent IO-Link protocol, you can connect a wide variety of intelligent sensors and actuators. Thanks to ASi, you only need one cable and have absolutely no restrictions on topology. The IO-Link devices are connected to the ASi-5 interface via our IO-Link masters – for example, in IP20 to a 4-port master in a control cabinet, or in the field in IP67 to a 4-, 2- or 1-port IO-Link master.

Connect individual IO-Link devices cost-effectively

If you only want to integrate one IO-Link device at a single position, our compact 1-port master is your ideal choice. With it, you can also connect individual IO-Link devices at any location easily and cost-effectively – distributed over the entire ASi cable length of up to 200 meters.

binder: M12 Connectors with Comprehensive Corrosion Protection

binder offers M5, M8, and M12 products for sensor cabling that feature threaded locking rings – and other design parts – made of stainless steel. Unlike conventional connectors, with nickel-plated locking rings and housing parts made of die-cast zinc or brass, they are suitable for use under conditions that explicitly require media resistance. Connectors in stainless-steel design withstand corrosive environmental influences, such as contact with chemicals or aggressive detergents.

AutomationDirect: Murrplastik Two-Piece Flex Split Conduit

AutomationDirect has added EWT-PA series flexible, non-metallic, two-piece split conduit from Murrplastik. This flex split conduit provides an easy solution for routing pre-terminated cables, eliminating the need to dismantle/reassemble the installed connectors. The EWT-PA series conduit consists of dual overlapping tubes that are easy to open yet provide mechanical protection and eliminate unintentional exposure of the cabling bundle inside. This conduit is ideal for cable installations on cobots, gantry systems, or any retrofitting application.

Bihl+Wiedemann: Exploiting ASi Advantages in the PROFIsafe Environment

The ASi-5/ASi-3 PROFIsafe via PROFINET Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor is now also available as a single master without integrated I/Os: The BWU4018 is thus a cost-effective entry-level model that helps you exploit ASi advantages in the PROFIsafe environment. As opposed to Ethernet wiring, with ASi you do not need such things as plugs for the 24 V supply and bus connection. This way, you can significantly reduce your wiring costs and the installation effort.

Phoenix Contact: New XT 2.5 Terminal Blocks

The new XT 2.5 terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are the first to feature a front Push-X connection, allowing fast and easy wiring. The XT 2.5 portfolio includes feed-through and multi-conductor terminal blocks as well as function versions for using disconnect knives, plug-in fuses, and components. With Push-X technology, solid, stranded, or ferruled conductors and cross-sections can now be connected even faster, either manually or automatically. As one of the fastest connection technologies on the market, Push-X technology increases the efficiency of control cabinet wiring. The factory-opened clamping space further reduces installation time.

binder: 570 Series Easy Locking Cable Connector

binder announces the 570 Series Easy Locking Connector (ELC) for medical applications. Reliable function, safety in use, biocompatibility, and patient protection are key criteria in medical device engineering. Technical malfunctions, unstable parameters, incorrect use by medical staff or patients may cause serious complications here. In this environment, connectors are subject to the highest demands in terms of contact reliability and signal integrity, resilience of connection, and simple as well as intuitive usability. In addition, biocompatibility and a protection degree appropriate for medical devices, including protection against contact and resistance to cleaning agents or disinfectants, are mandatory.
