The bus connectors are used to connect a PROFIBUS station to the PROFIBUS cable. The connector is quickly mounted and has integrated, connectable terminating resistors.
The Softlink technology offers the bus connector with a vertical and 35outgoing cable, and for transmission rates up to 12 Mbaud.
The bus connector is plugged directly onto the PROFIBUS interface (SUB-D connector, 9-way) of the PROFIBUS stations. The PROFIBUS cables are connected using 4-way screw terminals.
The connector must be operated in node setting ("OFF") when the incoming bus (A1, B1) and the outgoing bus (A2, B2) are to be interconnected. The terminating resistors are then bypassed. The connector must be set as a segment end ("ON"), on the first and last (extreme) stations of the segment. In that case the terminating resistors are connected on the incoming bus, the outgoing bus is disconnected.
