Danfoss VLT Frequency Inverters:
In the latest article from Bihl+Wiedemann, the company introduces a streamlined solution for integrating Danfoss frequency inverters from the VLT series with the AS-Interface system. Highlighting the simplicity of the process, Bihl+Wiedemann presents the ASi-5 motor module BWU4980, a device designed to facilitate plug-and-play connectivity through the standard RS485 interface of the Danfoss VLT frequency inverters. By connecting the module using just two wires to the RS485 terminals on the inverter, users can achieve immediate integration. The article emphasizes the efficiency of the ASi technology, where both power supply and communication are managed via a single cable, simplifying the installation process and enhancing user convenience.
