ASi-5 counter modules are now also available as active distributors

The range of ASi-5 counter modules from Bihl+Wiedemann currently consists of several variants in IP20 and IP67, each with four digital inputs that can be individually configured and parameterized as required. The ASi-5 counter module BWU4996 is new to the range. As an active distributor, its flat design (35 mm deep) makes this module perfect for installation in the cable duct. It is equipped with two digital inputs, which can be configured as 2-channel or 1-channel inputs.

All ASi-5 counter modules in the range operate at frequencies of up to 250 kHz and also allow the connection of pulse counters and encoders (24 V). In addition to the flexibility in use thanks to individual parameterization and the greatly reduced cabling typical of ASi, additional features ensure that many different applications can be solved cost-effectively with the ASi-5 counter modules. Users can now choose between a 32-bit value range and the fast transfer of two or four independent 16-bit counter values in as little as 1.27 ms. Moreover, in addition to counter functions, frequency and period measurements with and without filtering can now be performed. This enables simple counts of piece goods, positioning tasks or speed measurements.
