PROFIBUS Network Components

SIMATIC Power Rail Booster
By transferring the PROFIBUS DP signal via collector wires using signal boosting, new, low-cost concepts based on standard components can be implemented for electric monorail systems or stacker crane systems.

SIMATIC diagnostic-repeater
The diagnostic repeater links PROFIBUS DP segments in RS 485 technology with up to 62 nodes. It monitors the bus lines in online mode, and in the event of a fault, it transmits a detailed diagnostics signal that can also be represented graphically. Sporadic faults, too, are detected and localized.

BT 200 bus tester
Installation engineers, startup engineers and service personnel working with distributed automation solutions can eliminate fault sources on the bus line or interfaces systematically and right from the start, even without specialized knowledge of PROFIBUS

PROFIBUS-RS 485 FastConnect connectors
The connectors are used for linking PROFIBUS nodes or PROFIBUS network components to PROFIBUS. Simple installation results in time savings of up to 80%. Thanks to fast, exact and low-cost technology, the connectors are ready for connection in 20 seconds, including cable preparation.

PROFIBUS Terminator
The terminator is used for permanent termination of bus segments. This means that the nodes (e.g. ET 200M/S) can be optionally connected and disconnected without causing faults on the bus system.

Feldbus-isolating transformer
The fieldbus isolating transformer RS-485-IS makes the PROFIBUS DP intrinsically safe. It can be used wherever communications exceed potentially explosive areas, i.e. above zone 1 or zone 21.
