PROFIBUS Reborn: 1 Controller, 1 Network, Multiple Baudrates The ProfiSwitch X5 modernizes PROFIBUS network architecture for the next generation. The transparent repeater hub has the ability to create baudrate customization per channel. A simple rotary switch opens doors to a new landscape with reliable and money saving applications. The X5 eliminates traditional PROFIBUS network baudrates constraints associated with spur lines, additional resistance, single master systems, poor cable segments and cable length limitations. Design limitations associated with legacy systems or new build systems are eliminated, creating the capability for unprecedented customizable network designs. One main PLC can now act as a workhorse with the ability to extend the network further, spur line hot swap, reduction of repeater installation, all without limiting speed performance. The advanced technology of the ProfiSwitch X5 converts the main channel to other transmission speeds and acts as a transparent proxy without disturbing the host system (comparable with PA links). With limitless applications, the ProfiSwitch X5 will become your go to device for creating networks without traditional limitations.

Application areas • Extend Network length, without repeaters • Adding to Legacy Systems with Baudrate limitations • Couple PA & wireless within 1 network • Eliminate none traditional cabling limitations • Bad Segment Isolation • EMC interference reduction • Reduce Resistance effects, i.e. lightning arrestors. • Limited speed PROFIBUS devices, operating on high speed networks Channel 3 45.45 kbit/s, 1200 m, PA Channel 2 187.5 kbit/s, 1000 m Main channel 12 Mbit/s Example: one network, multiple baudrates, different cable lenghts. Your benefits • able length limitation removed C • ne master for...
