PROFIBUS DP/FMS/FIP high flexibility
PROFIBUS (PROcess FIeld Bu S) is a fieldbus standard that is specified in EN 61158 and EN 61784 (formerly EN 50170) and supports a wide variety of applications in automated manufacturing.
Highly flexible PROFIBUS cables have been specifically designed for applications in frequently moving machine parts, in cable carriers or on robots and cable carts and provide trouble-free communication between devices from different manufacturers without the need of specific interface adapters.
These cables are suitable not only for PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Peripherals) and PROFIBUS FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification) but also for FIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) applications and can optionally be supplied with an integrated power supply.
Furthermore, these products are flame-resistant and can also be supplied with the appropriate approvals for the North American markets.
The specific cable types for optical data transmission are to be found in this website under the heading POF/PCF/GOF in the Bus Cables Section.
