Procentec ProfiHub B1 – Single Channel Repeater
Introduction
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 power supply is redundant which makes it suitable for applications in which
high availability is required and consumes relatively low power which helps the
environment.
