Profibus bus coupler with added features

April 2006 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Inline, Phoenix Contact's flexible automation construction kit, now features improved performance when combined with Profibus: the new IL PB BK DP/V1 bus coupler is faster than the previous model while also supporting the Profibus-DP/V1 extension. The system allows for easy parametrisation of the inputs and outputs of connected inline terminals via dialogues in the project planning software, such as STEP 7. Safety values within the bus coupler increase the installation's availability.

Adapting process data to the control format is just a mouse-click away. If required, there is even a choice of different diagnostics types. In addition to inline I/Os, the Profibus-DP/V1 bus coupler further accommodates engine starters up to 3,7 kW and special function and safety terminals.
