Overview
Used for connecting PROFIBUS nodes to the PROFIBUS bus cable
Easy installation
FastConnect plugs ensure extremely short assembly times due to their insulation-displacement technology
Integrated terminating resistors (not in the case of 6ES7972-0BA30-0XA0)
Connectors with D-sub sockets permit PG connection without the additional installation of network nodes
Application
The RS485 bus connectors for PROFIBUS are used for connecting PROFIBUS nodes or PROFIBUS network components to the bus cable for PROFIBUS.
Design
Several different versions of the bus connector are available, each optimized for the devices to be connected:
Bus connector with axial cable outlet (180°), e.g. for PCs and SIMATIC HMI OPs, for transmission rates up to 12 Mbps with integrated bus terminating resistor.
Bus connector with vertical cable outlet (90°);
This connector permits a vertical cable outlet (with or without PG interface) for transmission rates of up to 12 Mbps with integral bus terminating resistor. At a transmission rate of 3, 6 or 12 Mbps, the SIMATIC S5/S7 plug-in cable is required for the connection between bus connector with PG-interface and programming device.
