Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
Quick connections, installations and troubleshooting are now possible with Brad Harrison Diagnostic D-Sub Profibus connectors. These connectors perform comprehensive test functions that speed implementation and troubleshooting in Profibus applications up to 12 Mbaud, while the cable-guided connections provide a fast and error free installation.
The Diagnostic D-Sub connector effectively reduces installation, connection and troubleshooting time with its unique design. The dual cable entry guide makes connections virtually foolproof. Just strip the cable jacket, guide the Profibus 2-conductor cable into the slots, and tighten with a single screw. Profibus network troubleshooting is also easy thanks to the LED display that pinpoints power, bus, device and termination errors. An integrated port is also included for field diagnostic monitors, analysers or laptops. The connector is enclosed in a sturdy metal case that contributes to safe and reliable operation by helping to prevent outside interference and damage in harsh applications.
Brad Harrison Diagnostic D-Sub connectors will benefit machine tool, conveyor and material handling applications with its timesaving features. Whether used in motor control centres, variable frequency drives or I/O, they can shorten time to market and reduce production downtime significantly.
With their all-metal construction for harsh environments, the connectors are fully shielded for high noise immunity and DC connections provide fast and reliable installations. The connectors have a captive single-screw mechanism with no loose parts, a high transfer rate of 12 Mbaud, four LEDs for fast diagnostics and health status of the bus and device.
