Network remote serial fieldbus devices easily, efficiently, and cost effectively via existing cables with PROFIBUS and serial extenders. The extenders extend the transmission range beyond the corresponding standard up to 20 km per extender segment.
PROFIBUS extender
- Typical PROFIBUS data rate of 1.5 Mbps at approx. 1.5 km
- 1 PROFIBUS port
Serial extender
- RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 can be selected
- RS-232, up to 230.4 kbps (automatic DCE/DTE switchover)
- RS-422/RS-485 up to 2,000 kbps
- Termination resistor, can be enabled/disabled (RS-485 W2)
