Description
The Bihl+Wiedemann BWU1777 is an ASi-3 PROFIBUS Gateway housed in a stainless steel enclosure for DIN-rail mounting in industrial automation environments. It integrates two ASi-3 masters managing two independent AS-i networks, while requiring only one power supply to feed both AS-i circuits — a configuration that reduces wiring complexity and component count.
The gateway implements the PROFIBUS DP protocol according to IEC 61158 and IEC 61784-1, supporting baud rates from 9.6 kBaud to 12 MBaud with automatic detection. It maps all connected AS-i slaves as I/O data into the PROFIBUS process image, enabling complete diagnosis and configuration through the PROFIBUS DP master. A chip card slot is provided for storing configuration data, facilitating fast device replacement without reconfiguration.
The unit features an RS232 diagnostic interface for direct access to AS-i master functions using Bihl+Wiedemann proprietary software (AS-i Control Tools, art. no. BW2902). An LCD display presents AS-i slave addresses and error messages in plain text, complemented by eight status LEDs indicating power, PROFIBUS communication, AS-i voltage, configuration mode, and error states.

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 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).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
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.

Technical notes
The BWU1777 supports redundant power supply operation: under normal conditions it draws power from one of the two AS-i circuits; should that power supply fail, the gateway automatically switches to the second AS-i power supply. This ensures all diagnostics functions remain available and the unaffected AS-i network continues to operate without interruption. Each AS-i circuit supports up to 8 A maximum current.The stainless steel housing is rated IP20 and designed for DIN-rail mounting. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +55°C, with storage temperatures from -25°C to +85°C. The unit conforms to EN 61000-6-2 for noise immunity and EN 61000-6-4 for emitted interference, with shock and vibration resistance per EN 61131-2.
