ProfiHub A5

ProfiHub A5 – 5 Channel PROFIBUS DP Repeater

ProfiHub-A5

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+R (IP 20).

Create reliable, flexible and object oriented DP installations using the ProfiHub A5.
The ProfiHub A5 is essential to obtain better control during maintenance and upgrading of the network.
