Overview
- Different variants for different application areas (e.g. underground cables, trailing cables, hazardous area Zone 1 and Zone 2)
- High interference immunity thanks to double shielding
- Flame-retardant bus cable (halogen-free)
- Easy length measurement thanks to printed meter markings
- UL approvals
Benefits
- Flexible application possibilities thanks to special bus cables
- Noise immune network due to double-shielded cables and integrated grounding concept
- Time saving due to simple and fast connector assembly with FastConnect cables
- Silicon-free, therefore particularly suitable for use in the automotive industry (e.g. on paint shop conveyors)
Application
For the construction of PROFIBUS DP networks, different cable types are offered to suit the different types of application. The listed bus cables should always be used. For more information on network configuration, see the PROFIBUS network manual.
UL approvals
UL listing (safety standard) for network cables is especially necessary for the American and Canadian markets. The requirements for the appropriate approvals depend on where the cable is routed within the building. This applies to all cables which have to be routed from a machine to a remote control cabinet and are positioned on cable racks secured on the building. Cables with UL approval have “GP” (General Purpose) added to their name.
Ex approval
Cables for intrinsically safe PROFIBUS DP applications have “IS” (intrinsically safe) added to their names
Design
Shielded, twisted pair cable with circular cross-section
The following applies for all PROFIBUS bus cables:
- The double shield makes it especially suitable for routing through industrial areas with strong electro-magnetic fields
- System-wide grounding concept can be implemented using the external shield of the bus cable and the ground terminals on the bus terminal
- Printed meter marks
Cable types
The shape of the FastConnect (FC) bus cables is radially symmetric and allows an insulation stripping tool to be used. This means that bus connectors can be assembled quickly and easily.
