How to improve the PROFIBUS network with the ProfiHub multirepeater?
The rules for building PROFIBUS DP networks state that a maximum of 32 PROFIBUS DP stations can be connected to one segment. The second limitation is the length of the segment cabling, which is inversely proportional to the speed of the PROFIBUS network used. In addition to these rules, there is another rule of thumb that says that 32 stations in one segment means de facto 32 potential points of failure. Each PROFIBUS device has an impact on the quality of the network by its connection to the network. Therefore, reduce the number of PROFIBUS devices in a PROFIBUS segment to a lower number by using ProfiHub repeaters or multirepeaters. The result will be a maximally reinforced, reliable, functional and robust PROFIBUS network that will not be brought down by anything.
Unlike competitive products, PROCENTEC repeaters and multirepeaters have better results in galvanic separation of segments and also digitally smooth the messages between segments. An error in one segment will not move to the other segment, which unfortunately cannot be claimed 100% for all repeaters on the market. If you want quality repeaters and multirepeaters, choose PROCENTEC products.
How wireless PROFINET / PROFIBUS / Ethernet and CAN communication works with Schildknecht products?
Wireless transmission via optics or radio waves? Optical transmission causes minimal delay and requires direct visibility of the optical modules. Wave transmission works at 869 MHz and 2.4 GHz and is useful where optics do not work. For a video demonstration of the German company Schildknecht's products, click HERE.
