GMO AS-Interface Profibus Gateway Monitor

The ASi Bus is a reliable way to implement safety devices on a communication bus. It can also be used to reliably activate outputs, such as locking solenoids. Data from all connected devices is transmitted through a two-wire cable to a safety controller. This will turn off hazardous machine functions in the event of an unsafe condition. A Windows compatible software package is available for easy configuration, monitoring and diagnostics. Single and multiple bus interface modules are also available. Many Euchner products can be purchased with an ASi interface. This reduces the time for assembly, installation, testing and downtime. Now only one device is necessary to connect from a safe AS-Interface bus to a Profibus. The GMO expands the possible bus applications as two AS-Interface circuits can be connected to one monitor.
