BusAdapter

The BusAdapters offer a free selection of connection technology and physical characteristics for the PROFINET interface. Alternatively, they can be used for the Industrial Ethernet interface on the device.

The following bus adapter versions are supported by the IE/PB LINK PN IO:

Versions with two PN copper interfaces (RJ45 or FastConnect (FC))

• BA 2xRJ45 with 2 RJ45 connections
• BA 2xFC with 2 FastConnect connections: enables maximum system availability, even when subjected to shocks and high electromagnetic loads. This is because the FastConnect cables are fully shielded and laid directly in the BusAdapter.

Versions with one or two PN fiber-optic cable (FOC) connections

• BA 2xSCRJ with 2 SCRJ FO connections with increased potential difference
• BA SCRJ / RJ45, each with one SCRJ FO and RJ45 connection (media converter)
• BA SCRJ / FC, each with one SCRJ FO and FastConnect connection (media converter)
• BA 2xLC with two glass fiber-optic connections (Lucent Connector) with increased potential difference
• BA SCRJ / RJ45, each with one glass fiber-optic and RJ45 connection (media converter)
• BA LC / FC with one glass fiber-optic and one FastConnect connection (media converter)

The version for connecting IP67 modules of the SIMATIC ET 200AL (BA-SEND, BA 1xFC) is not supported.
