Overview
1-1
1. Overview
The B2G78-PB1 operates as a gateway unit for the PROFIBUS and AnyWireASLINK. The AnyWireASLINK
system can be connected to the PROFIBUS by using this gateway.
The AnyWireASLINK system is a “Sho-Haisen”(wiring saving) system consisting of compact and
fewer-point/multiple-distribution units suitable for wire saving on the sensor level.
This system covers bundling of a minimum 1 point to 16 points in a compact unit, therefore, it can bundle even
in a narrow device in which a BOX is not placed.
In addition, this system also proposes “Digital Link Sensors”that incorporate the AnyWireASLINK sensing
function and wiring saving function.
This is a sensor able to be directly connected to the transmission line, and offers excellent wiring saving
without using a remote terminal.
In addition to ON/OFF information, information such as sensing level and disconnections are also transmitted
to the controller side.
It is possible to monitor the operating state, prevent momentary stoppages, and significantly reduce cause
investigation time during a failure.

ASLINK terminals and the like
Analog terminal
Analog input unit and the like
Sensor/amplifier

Confirm the model name and type of the slave unit by using the separate AnyWireASLINK system
catalog.
Number of slave units connected
The maximum number of slave units that can be connected to one line of the AnyWireASLINK system
is 128 units.
(It is necessary that both the total number of points occupied by slave units and the total consumption
current of the transmission line do not exceed the maximum number of transmission points and the
allowable supply current.)
Connection of slave units
There are roughly two types of methods for the connection of AnyWireASLINK slave units.
One is the “two-wire (non-isolated) type”method and the other is the “four-wire (isolated) type”method.
Classification
Operation
Two-wire (non-isolated)
type
Slave units and connection loads are driven with just two transmission lines.
Four-wire (isolated) type
Two transmission lines are used to drive the transceivers. Slave units and
connection loads are driven by two external power supply lines.
This is selected when the allowable supply current via two transmission lines
is insufficient, or when you wish to separate the power supply to the load.
Any configuration consisting of the two-wire type only, the four-wire type only, or a mixture of two-wire and
four-wire types can be used.
The choice whether to use a two-wire type or a four-wire type depends on the slave unit.

4.3 Transmission line (DP-DN)
The “AnyWireASLINK Protocol”is a low speed transmission clock that can also achieve effective
high-speed transmission making it compatible with a wide range of cable characteristics, and therefore
allows for various transmission cables and general-purpose electric wires to be used as transmission
channels.
4.4 Connection mode
The AnyWireASLINK system allows for various connections such as T-branching, multi-drop, tree-branching,
and star-branching.
T-branching method
The T-branching method is a connection method to branch off a cable from an insulation displacement
connector or terminal block and connect to the slave unit.
The actual wiring is shown below.
When an insulation displacement connector is used
A flat cable is branched using an insulation
displacement connector as described below.

When a terminal block is used
A cable can be branched as follows using a commercially available terminal block (a terminal block
in which terminals that face each other are internally connected).
Branching between cabtyre cables
Conversion to a dedicated flat cable
Multi-drop method
The multi-drop method is a way to connect slave units directly to cables.
Use of this method eliminates the need for new cables or other connecting devices other than cables.
In the actual wiring, as shown in the image above, the signal lines of transmission cables from one side
and those of transmission cables from the other side are integrated and connected to the slave unit.
