- Two ASi-3 masters for two independent ASi networks
- PROFIBUS interface with automatic baud-rate recognition
- Stainless-steel DIN-rail housing with IP20 protection
BWU1568 connects two ASi networks to PROFIBUS and provides independent network supervision.
Its dual-master architecture retains diagnostic access if the power supply for one ASi network fails.
Confirm the PROFIBUS configuration, ASi addressing and both network power supplies before installation or replacement.
Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for BWU1568 are confirmed during quotation.
