D-Sub Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP

D-Sub Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP

Application example:

D-Sub Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP Example Application

Interface for Providing an Access Point to Test PROFIBUS Networks if the D-sub Connectors have no Service Socket or if the Devices are Connected via Terminal Block

Provides an access point for testing PROFIBUS networks if the D-sub connectors have no service socket or if the stations are connected via terminal block.

  • Allows Testing the Bus During Operation
  • Exchange of Bus Devices at the Beginning or End of the Bus Without Causing Problems on the Bus

Application

The service interface is top hat rail mounted. An external 24 VDC power source is required for power supply to the terminating resistor in the PROFIBUS connector included in the package. The service interface can thus be used as an active bus termination at the beginning or end of the bus. If the PLC allows dropping and adding bus stations on the live bus, the service interface offers the possibility to exchange the first and last bus stations without causing problems on the bus.

Included in Package

PBMB adapter and 90° angled PROFIBUS connector with switchable terminating resistor, strain relief and screw terminal technology.

M12 Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP

M12 Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP

Application example:

Example Application M12 Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP

Interface for Providing an Access Point to Test PROFIBUS Networks With M12 Connectors

Provides an access point for testing PROFIBUS networks with M12 connectors.

  • Allows Testing the Bus During Operation

Application

The service interface is inserted between two bus stations. When not in use, the service output of the T piece is closed with an end cap. At baud rates of 1.5 Mbit/s or higher, use the supplied cable to ensure that the required minimum distance between bus stations is maintained.

Included in Package

T piece (protection class IP68) with end cap and a 1 m DP cable fitted with a male/female M12 connector on each end.
