General information about VIPA 972-0DP01 Profibus Connector:
This VIPA 972-0DP01 Profibus Connector connects PROFIBUS user knots or complete PRO- FIBUS net components to the PROFIBUS line. Each connector has switchable terminating resistors. Dependent of the type of connector, a PD/diagnosis socket as well as a controller with 4 LED indicators are additionally integrated.
The switchable terminating resistors are activated by a slide switch, easily accessible from both sides right and rear. Hereby shutoff of the outgoing bus line is possible. Also for testing purposes the following PROFIBUS components connected via "OUT" can be switched off without removing the connector. Please make sure to terminate the last participants on the bus at both ends and to connect them to the bus cable via "IN".
