PROFIBUS DP/FMS/FIP

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.

PROFIBUS cables provide trouble-free communication between devices from different manufacturers without the need for 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. Depending on bit rates, segment lengths of up to 1,200 m can be achieved. For easy connection and quick installation we suggest the use of our fast-connect versions.

By using various sheath materials, we are able to offer the perfect cable for any application. For the North American markets the cables can also be supplied with the appropriate UL approvals.
