PROFIBUS MPI repeater 5P
Part No: VIPA 973-5AA00
.
Profibus DP and MPI, RS485 repeater for the connection of Profibus/MPI bus systems with max. 155 nodes from the 5 galvanically isolated networks, max. 12 mbit/s
Works with Siemens Repeater 6ES7 972-0AA01-0xxx either in conjunction with or in place of.

Overcomes normal limitations of existing repeaters by being able to cascade without limitation. Full regeneration of the signal mean unlimited repeaters and network cascade design. The data is constantly monitored for glitches which are then digitally filtered out. Each channel (5 available) are able to support directly 31 devices.

Redundant 24VDC (10..32VDC) power supply connections
Up to 1200m cable length
All Profibus and MPI speeds supported, 12Mb/s, 6Mb/s, 3Mb/s, 1.5Mb/s, 500Kb/s, 187.5Kb/s, 93.75Kb/s, 45.45Kb/s, 19.2Kb/s, 9.6Kb/s
5 isolated channels (repeater segments)
No Profibus address required
Up to 31 participants per channel
Configurable grounding system (direct or capacitive)
Star or Tree large structured networks possible
Terminating resistors onboard for each channel
DIN Rail mount
Highest protection by short circuit safety in each segment
Low current consumption – 4.1watt
