The PROFIBUS connector with diagnostic LEDs and EasyConnect® features quick-connect technology, which makes stripping the bus wires superfluous. Once the cable has been installed it is easy to check (visual inspection) that the PROFIBUS cable has been correctly connected.

The three built-in LEDs with the easily distinguished colors blue, green and orange indicate the most important states of the PROFIBUS network at each station. Orange represents the state of the terminating resistor, Green indicates bus activity is in progress and Blue shows the station addressed is participating in bus traffic. This means errors, such as bus interruptions, missing or incorrectly connected terminating resistors and malfunctioning or failed bus stations can be detected immediately.

Connector Features
:

  • 3 LED status indicators: bus operation, station transmitting, terminating resistor inserted
  • Metalized housing for improved electromagnetic compatibility
  • Integrated switchable terminating resistor
  • Large variety of connection angles available
  • EasyConnect® technology eliminating wire stripping
