PROCENTEC ProfiHub B5 17010

PROCENTEC ProfiHub B5 PROFIBUS DP Repeater Description The PROCENTEC ProfiHub B5 is a high-reliability 5-channel PROFIBUS DP repeater. It’s an essential component for building robust and flexible network infrastructures, allowing for the creation of star and tree segments from a main PROFIBUS line. Each of the 5 channels is galvanically isolated, ensuring that disturbances on one segment do not affect the rest of the network. This feature significantly improves uptime and simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting. Specifications Manufacturer: PROCENTEC Model: ProfiHub B5 Part Number: 101-00201A Number of Channels: 5 Network Protocol: PROFIBUS DP Transmission Speed: 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps (auto-detect) Power Supply: 10 – 32V DC, redundant Power Consumption: Max 4.8W Isolation: Galvanic isolation per channel Connectors: DB9 female, screw terminals Protection Class: IP20 Mounting: DIN-Rail Label Info Model: ProfiHub B5 Part No: 101-00201A Serial Number: 1312108583 Application Ideal for industrial automation systems requiring extended PROFIBUS networks, complex topologies, or high levels of network reliability. Used in manufacturing, process control, and logistics to connect PLCs, drives, HMIs, and other field devices. Country of Origin Made in the Netherlands. CO2 Impact Opting for this pre-owned unit prevents the carbon dioxide emissions associated with manufacturing a new one, estimated at 12.0 kg. This saving is equivalent to the CO2 produced by a car over a distance of 60 km. Availability This is an obsolete item, replaced by the ProfiHub B5+R series. Availability of this original model is limited to existing stock. Order now from profideals for expert support and fast delivery. FAQ What is the main advantage of using a ProfiHub B5 in a PROFIBUS network?The primary advantage is segment isolation. Each of the 5 channels is a separate, electrically isolated segment. This means a short circuit, noise, or other fault on one segment will not bring down the entire network, significantly improving overall system reliability. How do I set the correct PROFIBUS baudrate on the ProfiHub B5?The baudrate is set via the rotary switch on the side of the unit. You can either select a specific rate from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps or set it to ‘F’ for Autodetect, which allows the hub to automatically adapt to the network’s speed. Does the ProfiHub B5 require external terminators?No, it does not. The ProfiHub B5 features integrated, switchable terminators for each individual channel and the main channel. This simplifies installation and ensures correct termination without the need for external terminating resistors. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
