Profibus bus connectors target Siemens S7 PLCs

Within the Profibus Smart 7 products, PROVERTHA offers plug & play M12 variants as 100% tested solutions for fast deployment. In addition, variants with internal cable clamp are available. The plug & play M12 variants provide function and failure safe connections with secure shielding and enable a reliable and safe data transfer. The assembly time takes only a few seconds. The space saving form factor with optimised assembly length ensures an easy and comfortable cable connection to the PLC units.

The product variants with internal cable clamp provide easy and comfortable Profibus connections in the field. In addition bus connectors with external cable clamp are available to connect special cables with diameters up to 10 and 14mm on request.

Additional variants include 360 EMI/RFI shielded crimp flange/crimp sleeve bus connectors. These enable deployment in railway, industrial and other harsh environments. The crimp flange/crimp sleeve system based on a hexagonal crimp also provides functional safety in applications with high requirements regarding cable strain relief and shielding. In configurations with crimp flange and crimp sleeve, the hexagonal crimp with its non-detachable crimp sleeve acts as a seal, because the assembled bus connector cannot be modified without damage.

PROVERTHA will present the Profibus Smart 7 bus connectors at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2014 (Hall 9, Booth 301), which takes place from 25th to 27th November in Nuremberg.
