AS-i 3.0 Sercos Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor, CIP Safety on Sercos and Safe Link over Ethernet

Product features:

• 2 AS-i Masters, version „1 Gateway, 1 Power Supply for 2 AS-i networks“
• Switch 6 safe outputs (SIL3/PLe) in the device via CIP Safety
• Support of safe outputs in both AS-i networks
• With Ethernet diagnostic interface
• Safe Link over Ethernet

With the help of CIP Safety on Sercos, the AS-i 3.0 Sercos Gateway can safely control and monitor drives directly and without an additional safety PLC.

In the standard area the drives continue to be directed by the usual controller. But the Gateway takes over the safety part, selecting safe functions in the drive and shutting it down safely when necessary.

The AS-i Sercos Gateway, CIP Safety on Sercos, with Safe Link can be used as a CIP Safety Originator without an additional safety controller. It combines two AS-i Masters for two AS-i networks. This provides up to 62 two-channel safe inputs, with three additional ones already integrated in the device directly. Six fast electronic safe outputs directly in the unit speed up the process and ensure that the technological bridge from AS-Interface to CIP Safety is appropriate to high-performance drive technology. Furthermore, using Safe Link, the safe coupling from Bihl+Wiedemann, the Gateway can be expanded to nearly 2000 safe in- and outputs.
