ProfiHub / ProfiSwitch - Multichannel PROFIBUS repeaters
The reputable ProfiHub and ProfiSwitch family is a collection of multichannel PROFIBUS DP network components to create reliable star/tree networks and long multi-device spur lines.
This ensures that processes run more efficiently and unplanned downtime is reduced. They are utilized in many applications worldwide and available in different varieties to comply with the specific requirements of your company.
ProfiHubs and ProfiSwitches are equipped with galvanically isolated transparent repeaters. Behind each repeater a segment is created that is able to handle 31 devices with a cable length equal to the main bus. Each repeater prevents short circuits and other bus problems. The ProfiSwitch is also capable to customize the baudrate on each channel.
