5 Channel DP Spur Repeater for IP 65 ProfiHub A5 is a robust network component for PROFIBUS DP installations. It enables long multi-device spur lines and backbone structures with star/tree segments in IP 65 applications. PROFIBUS DP is a high-speed communication bus that has to comply with strict rules concerning spur lines and star networks. The ProfiHub A5 is a perfect economic solution to create reliable start networks in RS 485 DP networks. It has the functionality of 5 galvanic isolated transparent repeaters. This allows network structures with extended spur lines that individually can handle a maximum of 31 devices and a length equal to the main bus. The ProfiHub A5 has the same functionality as the ProfiHub B5 (IP 20). Example of dynamic spur lines to instruments. The devices can be added and removed during operation. Product features 5 Isolated repeater channels Transparent for all PROFIBUS DP protocols 31 devices per channel 9.6 Kbps - 12 Mbps Max. 1200 m spur line length (depends on baudrate) Integrated termination facilities Configurable grounding system Glands or M12 connectors IP 65 classification Create reliable, flexible and object oriented DP installations with the ProfiHub A5

The ProfiHub A5 is essential to obtain better control during maintenance and upgrading of the network Application areas ■ Dynamic spur lines to actuators, flow meters and pH analyzers ■ Star, tree and bus structured networks ■ Removable drives and motors ■ Outdoor applications with device and cable stress ■ Roof mounted devices in tank farms ■ Dirty and Humid environments ■ Barrier for non galvanic isolated equipment Noisy signal Example of the barrier function of the ProfiHub. Noise and EMC disturbances will not affect the backbone or the other channels Power supply| Your benefits ■ Hot slave...
