Qty. 1 pc(s).
The FBCon DP fieldbus distributors are used to couple
1 to 8 actuators, sensors or remote I/Os to a PROFIBUS
network.
The branches (T-pieces) connect the individual bus
components to the bus cable. The length of the branch
cable depends on the transmission rate and should be as
short as possible.
The total of all branch lengths for transmission rates up to
1.5 MBaud may not exceed 6.6 m.
The trunk line is run over EMC cable glands into an
aluminium / stainless steel housing and connected using
tension-clamp terminals.
The branch line to the device is connected using a B-
coded M12 socket or an EMC cable gland.
Terminating resistors must be wired onto the start and
end of the PROFIBUS-DP network. The Terminator
modules can take care of this task.
The 24 V DC power supply is introduced via the right-
hand cable gland. The housing features a pressure-
compensation mechanism that counters the effects of
climatic fluctuations.
The guidelines issued by the PROFIBUS user organisation
must be observed during installation.
The distributors have the following characteristics:
• Tension-clamp connection system
• EMC cable gland
• M12 plug-in connectors
• External earthing contact
• Interruption-free bus operation
• Pressure-equalising element
• IP 66 protection class
• Stainless steel versions
• PROFIBUS-DP compatible
