Awards:Profibus Connector with Micro Controller

 

Our Profibus connector „EasyConn PB“ was awarded 2. Place by the readers of “A&D” trade journal within the “A&D BEST PRODUCT GUIDE” in the field of electrical engineering and power engineering.

With this new bus connector plug EasyConn PB, VIPA is offering a practical accessory with sophisticated features. For the first time a micro controller has been integrated into a Profibus connector which via four LEDs offers the possibility of monitoring power supply, bus activity, termination and possible bus failures.

With the integrated PG diagnostic port the plug is suitable for use in vast applications. The fully metal case offers high noise immunity and enables operation in harsh industrial environment. The IDC technology ensures comfortable wiring: open the case, insert the cable, close the case and fasten the captive screw.

The transparent cover offers additional security for the connection of incoming and ongoing bus lines. Connection with stranded wire from Lapp according to Type A (EN 50 170) is now also possible. The termination can be operated with a user-friendly slide switch which at the same time offers de-activation of the ongoing bus line.
