PROFIBUS ProfiConnector with PG port, cable 90°, green

The ProfiConnector is compatible with a wide range of devices. The cable is at a 90° angle from the device it is connected to. The connector has an indentation so that it fits perfectly onto the device.

This connector is made to be resistant to the potentially harsh industrial conditions of a plant. It is shock and UV resistant, and operates in temperatures ranging from -25˚C to 70˚C. The connector has built-in strain relief for both the incoming and outgoing cables.
The ProfiConnector is designed to be straightforward for the end user. It is therefore available in different varieties to meet the specific needs of the client. There are four types: with or without a PG connector, and with or without a screw terminal. Each type is available in five different colors to ensure that it remains clear to the user which cable leads to a particular segment in the system.

Ultimately, the ProfiConnector is an essential tool for uniting the different segments of your network and is optimized for use by the end user in an industrial environment.

Why a coloured PROFIBUS connector?

Coloured connectors enable you to distinguish one network or segment from another. They also allow you to tell which connector is original and which new. When installing the original connector, you will use a white connector. When later replacing it during scheduled downtime, you will use a green connector. Later on, you will replace the green one with a red one and so on.

A/B wires PROFIBUS connection via screw Terminals

Screw terminals provide long-term conductivity. As they eliminate the possibility of failure, they prevent downtime. In FOXON, we prefer screw terminals to the FastConnect piercing system because you have the connection under full control and can use fixed as well as flexible PROFIBUS cables.

PROFIBUS Terminating Resistor

If the connector is located at either of the two ends of the segment (i.e. the first or the last station), make sure its terminating resistor is on (in the "ON" position) and the PROFIBUS cable is connected to the incoming slot. If it is located elsewhere (i.e. the connector interconnects incoming (A1, B1) and outgoing (A2, B2) bus lines), the terminating resistor has to be switched off (in the "OFF" position).
