The PROFIBUS-PA
is an open field-bus standard
(EN 50 170, IEC 1158-2, DIN 19 245).
It was specifically developed for the requirements of the Process Industry technology, in particular remote supply and
intrinsic safety. PROFIBUS-PA permits
several PA sensors and actuators to be
operated on one common bus. The
devices are supplied with power via
2-wire technology with the process data
communication being executed digitally.
Integration into the PROFIBUS-DP network
is carried out by means of a Segment
Coupler. Specific advantages of
PROFIBUS-PA :
• Reduced wiring costs
• Minimised design costs of the
process control system
• Remote interrogation and programming
of field devices
• Continuing development and support
through PROFIBUS User and Trade
Organisations (PNO)
Weidmüller offers here the PROFIBUS-PA
FB Connector. In the event of service or
plant modification, the PROFIBUS-PA FBConnector from Weidmüller permits the
connection or replacement of field devices
without interrupting the bus system.
Extensive accessories as well as preassembled cables and plugs round off the
program.
