■
Overview
•
Used for constructing fieldbus segments as per IEC 61158-2
(e.g. PROFIBUS PA) with field device interface points
•
Easy assembly of the bus cable thanks to the FastConnect
system (FastConnect stripping tool, FC process cable
compliant with IEC 61158-2)
•
The terminal devices can be connected using the FC Process
Cable in accordance with IEC 61158-2 or the SpliTConnect
M12 Outlet/M12 Jack
•
Combination of terminating resistors can be integrated
(SpliTConnect terminator)
■
Benefits
•
Easy connection of terminals due to use of the FastConnect
system
•
Wide variety of applications thanks to modular SpliTConnect
system
•
Reduction in number of types and parts thanks to uniform
connection system for PROFIBUS PA
■
Application
•
The SpliTConnect Tap enables the design of fieldbus
segments according to IEC 61158-2 (e.g. PROFIBUS PA)
with terminal device connection points.
•
The SpliTConnect Coupler can be used to construct a
PROFIBUS PA hub by connecting SpliTConnect Taps in
series.
•
By replacing the contacting screw with the SpliTConnect
terminator, the SpliTConnect tap can be used as a bus
terminating element.
