PROFIBUS systems are especially made for process automation (PA). PROFIBUS is standardised acc. to IEC 61158 that means best interoperability of components from different manufactures. The modular peripheral construction (DP: decentralised periphery ) of the bus system simplifies installation and maintenance. The PROFIBUS type A is generally used in current systems, cables of PROFIBUS type B are only used for replacement purpose in already existing systems.

Application :
PB 642 is a PVC Profibus cable with tinned copper braiding. Application is especially developed for the communication between automation systems and decentralized peripheral units in the field level.
