Bihl+Wiedemann BWU1703 – PROFIBUS AS-i 3.0 Gateway for Reliable Industrial Connectivity

The BWU1703 from Bihl+Wiedemann is a high-performance gateway designed to seamlessly integrate AS-Interface (AS-i 3.0) networks into PROFIBUS DP control systems. Built with a robust stainless-steel housing and equipped with dual AS-i masters, this gateway delivers outstanding stability, flexibility, and long-term reliability for modern automation applications.

Key Features

• Seamless connection between AS-i 3.0 and PROFIBUS DP, enabling AS-i devices to function as fully integrated PROFIBUS I/O.

• Dual AS-i networks / dual masters for expanded topology and support for more AS-i slaves.

• Automatic duplicate address detection & AS-i diagnostics for improved system safety and reduced downtime.

• Durable stainless-steel enclosure, ideal for harsh or demanding industrial environments.

• Wide PROFIBUS baud rate support (9.6 kBaud to 12 Mbaud) with automatic recognition for easy integration.

• Integrated AS-i power supply providing up to 200 mA per AS-i network.

Benefits for Your Automation System

• Effortless expansion of AS-i devices within existing PROFIBUS infrastructures.

• Reduced wiring and installation costs, thanks to AS-i’s simple two-wire architecture paired with gateway-based integration.

• Stable and secure operation, with early error detection and robust diagnostics.

• Designed for industrial durability, resistant to corrosion, moisture, and heavy use.

• Suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects, improving flexibility and scalability.
