Repeater Compact Profibus Repeater B1

The compact profibus DP Repeater B1 offers an economic alternative and tackles the technological limitations of the existing repeaters. This first-class network component fulfils the electrical, mechanical and diagnostic requirements of the demanding modern industry.

The advanced 12 Mbps core of the B1 is identical as the ProfiHub; it can be cascaded unlimitedly and has increased signal strength. It does not have the frustrating short-circuit bug and the data is constantly monitored for glitches which are digitally filtered out. Every channel has on-board switchable termination and able to drive 31 devices.

The removable screw terminals of the PROFIBUS interface are pinned-out in a way that reversal mounting of the repeater does not impact existing wiring. A DB9 connector is provided for ProfiTrace or other maintenance/engineering tools.

The redundant power supply makes it suitable for applications where high availability is required and consumes relatively low power which helps the environment.
