Erni has continually expanded its established line of Profibus, CAN bus and SafetyBus fieldbus connectors.
The Profibus switch versions, with or without a programming interface, have now been redesigned to meet the mechanical requirements of the new S7 PLC.
With the new ERbic versions for Profibus, the external dimension has been reduced and the connector now fits into even smaller housing cut outs. The enclosed parts from the earlier version have now been fixed mounted. Furthermore, optimal cable clamps are available for different cable diameters (from 6 to 9 mm). Beyond that, the new Erni D-Sub connectors are also being used.
Well-established cable connection techniques are available to meet specific requirements. For example: IDC terminal ('fast connection', which replaces the dismantling of the bus wires), cage clamp terminal and screw terminal block. In addition, the bus connector can be imprinted using the standard ID plate.
The variable connection techniques and cable strain relief provide customers with greatest possible flexibility when connecting the connector in the field.
The Profibus version is designed for data rates up to 12 Mbps in applications that require moderate industry environments (IP30-40).
