Lumberg Automation Profibus DP connector range

Belden has extended its range of Lumberg Automation products to include new Profibus DP connectors that have a D-sub and M12 interface, and are offered with 35, 90 or 180° cable outlets.

All versions support data rates of up to 12 Mbps and feature a compact die-cast zinc housing with test socket and a terminating resistor that can be activated. They also have quick-connection that enables Profibus DP devices to be connected with M12 Profibus cord sets simply and securely without the use of tools.

The connectors meet the IP30 requirements for protection and are suitable for use in temperature ranges from -20 to +70°C.

The 9-pole D-sub interfaces of the male and female connectors can be used to connect, for instance, high-level control systems, decentralised I/O stations, programming units or diagnostic devices. The B-coded M12 interfaces serve as a Profibus input or output. The signals can be daisy-chained via the output.

The terminating resistor of the connectors can be activated via a slide switch, with the status being indicated both through the position of the switch and through green and red colour coding on the housing. An external Profibus terminating resistor can be attached to the Profibus out port.
