Information

Overview Manuals Technical notes Product Applications Electrical Wiring

Features:

  • Dual ASi-3 Master with Single Power Supply
  • PROFIBUS DP Interface with Auto-Baud Detection
  • RS232 Diagnostic & Configuration Interface
  • Comprehensive ASi Network Diagnostics
  • Stainless Steel Housing for Industrial Environments
The Bihl+Wiedemann BWU1777 is an ASi-3 PROFIBUS Gateway in Stainless Steel manufactured by Bihl+Wiedemann GmbH as part of their comprehensive AS-Interface (ASi) master/gateway portfolio. It serves as the critical communication bridge between AS-Interface (ASi) sensor/actuator networks at the field level and PROFIBUS DP industrial fieldbus systems at the control level, enabling seamless integration of low-cost, decentralized I/O into higher-level automation architectures.

The BWU1777 is specifically configured as a Double Master gateway, meaning it contains two independent ASi-3 master controllers capable of managing two separate ASi networks simultaneously. Both networks are powered from a single integrated power supply with built-in data decoupling, supporting up to 4 A per ASi circuit (max. 8 A total).

The BWU1777 Bihl+Wiedemann ASi-3 PROFIBUS Gateway may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Local diagnostics and configuration are facilitated through an RS232 diagnostic interface accessible via a dedicated service port on the gateway front panel. Using Bihl+Wiedemann's proprietary configuration software, technicians can monitor ASi slave status, read detailed fault messages, perform addressing operations, and update gateway firmware without disturbing the PROFIBUS communication link. The gateway features a 7-segment display (or LCD menu on enhanced variants) that shows ASi slave addresses, error codes, and operational status in plain text, dramatically reducing troubleshooting time compared to cryptic LED-only indicators.

Connect the main AS-i Power Supply (e.g., a 4A or 8A module) directly to the AS-i 1 power input terminals.Do not connect an external power supply to the AS-i 2 circuit terminals; the BWU1777 internally decouples and routes power from Circuit 1 to Circuit 2.Wire the respective field networks to the standard AS-i 1 (+ / -) and AS-i 2 (+ / -) black/yellow flat cable networks.Ensure proper grounding and shield connection to the functional earth terminal to preserve the gateway’s potential-free, ground-symmetrical architecture.

FAQs

  • What is the BWU1777?

    +
    The Bihl+Wiedemann BWU1777 is an AS-i 3.0 PROFIBUS Gateway Unit designed to connect AS-Interface networks to a higher-level PROFIBUS DP master
  • What is the specific design and power supply setup of the BWU1777?

    +
    The BWU1777 features the version "1 Gateway, 1 power supply for 2 AS-i circuits". This means it requires only 1 Gateway and 1 AS-i power supply to operate two independent AS-i networks.r
  • What protocol does this gateway communicate with?

    +
    It is an AS-i 3.0 to PROFIBUS DP Gateway. It translates data between your AS-i field devices/sensors and your PROFIBUS-based PLC or controller.
  • Does it have built-in diagnostic and monitoring tools?

    +
    Yes. The unit features an integrated AS-i Earth Fault Detector and an AS-i Noise Detector. These systems constantly monitor line quality directly from the hardware.
