6.3 FastConnect D-sub bus connector

6.3.1 Area of application and technical specifications of the FastConnect connector

Use of the FastConnect bus connector

Using the D-sub and M12 bus connectors for SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS:

● Nodes with an electrical interface complying with IEC 61158-2 / EN 61158-2 can be

connected directly to the SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS cables

● Electrical segments or individual nodes can be connected to the optical link module

(OLM, OBT).

● Nodes or programming devices can be connected to a repeater.

Note

The integrated bus terminating resistors and the mechanical specifications of the

SIMATIC NET bus connectors are tailored to the SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS cables (cable

type A of the PROFIBUS standard IEC 61158-2 / EN 61158-2). Fitting bus connectors to

cables with different electrical or mechanical properties can cause problems during

operation!

Area of application

You require bus connectors to attach the PROFIBUS cables to 9pin D-sub interfaces. Within

the FastConnect system, there are various bus connectors with degree of protection IP 20.

The different applications for these connectors are shown in the table below.
