Siemens Coupler for Use with Connecting Two PROFIBUS DP Networks, 24 V

Expand your PROFIBUS DP system using this coupler from Siemens. It features two independent interfaces so you can plug in up to two modules for smooth data transfer in your PLC setup. The unit has a wide data-exchange rate between 0 and 244 bytes for use in demanding applications. The DIP switches at the top allow you to easily set the PROFIBUS address of the modules for convenience. An operating temperature range between 0°C and +60°C means this component can withstand harsh environments.

• LED indicators for quick and easy status monitoring
• Integrated diagnostics functions enable test running to quickly detect any errors
• Electrical isolation between the DP networks helps prevent system downtime

The PROFIBUS DP network lets you connect a remote I/O module assembly directly to a PLC, eliminating the need to run separate wires from the field devices to the PLC.

You can mount this device by simply clipping it onto a standard DIN rail, which cuts out the need for complex tools. It's advisable to install it in an upright position so you can easily access the DIP switches at the top.
