PROFIBUS PA

FastConnect/SpliTConnect

■Overview

PROFIBUS FC process cables, color-coded for the various ap- plications (Ex, non-Ex area) are available for designing field bus networks in accordance with IEC 61158-2 (e.g. PROFIBUS PA).

The FastConnect stripping tool can be used to strip the FC pro- cess cable for PROFIBUS PA to the correct length for casing and shield.

SpliTConnect

The SpliTConnect Tap enables the design of fieldbus segments according to IEC 61158-2 with field device connection points.

The SpliTConnect Coupler can be used to construct a PROFIBUS PA hub by connecting SpliTConnect Taps in series.

By replacing the contacting screw by the SpliTConnect Termina- tor, the SpliTConnect Tap can be used as a bus terminating ele- ment.

Terminal equipment can be connected directly through the

FC process cable. Using the SpliTConnect M12 Outlet, PA field devices can also be connected to the SpliTConnect Tap by an M12 connection. The SpliTConnect M12 Jack is a connecting el- ement between an FC process cable and an M12 connector on the PROFIBUS PA field device. For details on SpliTConnect net- work components, see Catalog IK PI.
