Description
The Bihl+Wiedemann BWU1703 AS-i3.0 PROFIBUS Gateway securely and efficiently connects AS-i systems to a host PROFIBUS network. This gateway acts as a master on the AS-i side and a slave on the PROFIBUS side, achieving seamless communication between the two buses. The BWU1703 supports periodic and non-periodic access to all AS-i functions, transmitting I/O data, analog signals, and command channel data under the new AS-i specification via PROFIBUS DP/V1.

This module provides two independent AS-i circuits, each capable of providing a maximum current of 200 mA, with a total current not exceeding 270 mA. The BWU1703's PROFIBUS interface conforms to DIN 19 245, automatically recognizing transmission rates from 9.6 KBaud to 12,000 KBaud and supporting complete diagnostic and configuration functions. The module is equipped with an LCD display and multi-color LED indicators, providing real-time display of slave address, error status, power status, and auto-addressing status for easy field commissioning and maintenance.

The BWU1703 next-generation gateway also features an Ethernet diagnostic interface and an integrated web server, supporting remote monitoring of the gateway and AS-i circuit status without additional software. Its programmable functionality allows for expansion using the C programming language, supporting various bus interfaces and Ethernet solutions. The equipment is designed to comply with EN 62026-2 and EN 61000 series EMC standards, with an IP20 protection rating. It can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail and is suitable for internal control cabinet installation.

Furthermore, the BWU1703 provides current monitoring, ground fault detection, equipment temperature display, and resettable fuse protection. Its reliability and flexibility make it excellent for industrial automation, safety control, and remote monitoring applications.
