ET 200SP BusAdapter (RJ45)

BA 2xFC BusAdapter

Some interface modules of the SIPLUS ET 200SP have a universal PROFINET interface for BusAdapters. With the appropriate bus adapter, the type of connection can be adapted to the requirements of the respective application:

• For standard applications with a moderate mechanical and EMC load, the BA 2xRJ45 BusAdapter is used. It offers two sockets for standard RJ45 plugs.
• For machines and systems in which higher mechanical and/or EMC loads act on the devices, the BA 2xFC BusAdapter is recommended. In this case, the bus cables are connected directly by means of FastConnect terminals – similar to the PROFIBUS connector, proven in millions of applications. The technology is extremely quick to assemble and achieves 5 times better vibration resistance and also 5 times greater resistance to electromagnetic interference, when compared to RJ45 plug connectors.
• BusAdapters with connections for fiber-optic cables can be used to cover high potential differences between two stations and/or high EMC loads.

Another advantage of the BusAdapters: In order to repair defective RJ45 sockets or for subsequent conversion to the rugged FastConnect technology or a fiber-optic connection, only the adapter needs to be replaced.

The following interface modules offer a PROFINET connection via BusAdapter:

• SIPLUS IM 155-6PN Standard
• SIPLUS IM 155-6PN High Feature
