The new Profibus DP connectors from Lumberg Automation feature both a D-sub and an M12 interface to connect Profibus devices with M12 cord sets simply, quickly and without special tools. This is made possible through a quick connection technology, which ensures that the error prone step of attaching the shielding manually is a thing of the past. The advantage of this, for example, is reduced downtimes of machinery and equipment when faults occur for increased production efficiency.
With a choice of 35°, 90° or 180° cable outlets, the new Profibus DP connectors are highly versatile and all versions support data rates of up to 12 Mbit/s. A special shielding geometry and the die-cast zinc housing ensure error and loss free data transmission. The 9-pole D-sub interfaces of the male and female connectors can be used to connect, for instance, high-level control systems, decentralised I/O stations, programming units or diagnostic devices. The B-coded M12 interfaces serve as a Profibus input or output.
The terminating resistor can be activated via a slide switch with the respective status being indicated both through the position of the switch and through green and red colour coding on the housing. In addition, an external Profibus terminating resistor can be attached to the Profibus out port.
