Profibus-PA Fiber Optic Repeater VRP10-O

Profibus-PA Fiber Optic Repeater VRP10-O is designed to be used in Profibus-PA networks, allowing that Profibus-PA (H1, 31.25 kbits/s) electrical interfaces are converted into optical interfaces and vice versa. This allows half-duplex communication at distances up to 4 km with EMI immunity benefits. It has feature of a Profibus-PA repeater and supports 31.25 kbits/s.

It ensures high signal integrity and availability to the Profibus-PA network as the optical fiber is immune to EMI / RFI and ground loops. Taking the advantage of the optical transmission technology, the VRP10-O can be easily integrated into existing Profibus networks, increasing tolerance to network failures.

Benefits:
 

• Externally powered (24 Vdc, maximum current: 40 mA)
• According to IEC61158-2
• No configuration
• No bus address
• A great solution to increase distances of connections and to eliminate EMI and grounding problems
• Fiber Optic Cable dual or single Multimode, fiber optic cable 50/125 or 62.5 uM with ST connectors
• Maximum size for optical segment: 4000 m
• LEDs indicate power, optical and Profibus-PA communication
• Simplify installation, especially in hazardous areas (Ex-d).
