ASi-5 counter module now also available as an active distributor
The portfolio of ASi-5 counter modules from Bihl+Wiedemann currently consists of different variants in protection class IP20 and IP67, each with four digital counter inputs that can be individually configured and parameterized.
A new addition is the ASi-5 counter module BWU4996, which is suitable for installation in the cable duct as an active distributor thanks to its flat design with a depth of 35 millimetres. The module is equipped with two digital counter inputs that can be individually configured and parameterized as two dual-channel or two single-channel inputs.
All ASi-5 counter modules in the range work with counter frequencies up to a maximum of 250 kHz and enable the connection of pulse counters and encoders (24 volts). In addition to the flexibility in the use of the modules thanks to the individual parameterization and the drastically reduced wiring effort in the field typical of ASi, additional functions ensure that many different applications can be solved with the ASi 5 counter modules. For example, the user can now choose between a 32-bit value range and fast transmission of two or four independent 16-bit counter values in just 1.27 milliseconds.
In addition to various counter functions, frequency and period duration measurements with and without filtering can now also be carried out, enabling, for example, simple piece goods counting, positioning tasks or speed measurements.
