UNITRONIC® BUS ASI
Communication at sensor/actuator level. Halogen-free (rubber), UL-approval, oil-resistant (TPE version). Temperature range from -40°C to +90°C
“LD” = Long Distance
Benefits
- The new BUS ASI LD 2 x 2.5 (long distance) now allows modules located even further away to be connected. Additional AS-I supplies can be reduced.
BUS ASI LD is downwards-compatible with version 1.5. - The rubber versions are halogen-free.
Application range
- Communication at sensor/actuator level
- Sensor/actuator wiring
- For fixed installation as well as occasional flexing with free, non-continuously recurring movement without tensile load
- The TPE version has an oil-resistant outer sheath. It is suitable for wet areas, in particular in conjunction with water-soluble cooling lubricants.
Product features
- Data and power are transmitted via an unshielded, geometrically coded two-wire flat cable (protection against polarity reversal).
- The conductor is contacted by “piercing technology” within the ASI modules.
- The sensors are connected to the ASI modules (coupling modules) using round cables (connection cables).
Norm references / approvals
- ASI is standardised Europe-wide in EN 50295 and internationally in IEC 62026-2
- PVC version with UL/CSA (CMX) certification
- UL/CSA version: CMG c(UL)us or (UL)CL2 or AWM 300V FT4 certified
