6ES7972-0BA41-0XA0 | Siemens | SIMATIC DP Bus Connector

Description

6ES7972-0BA41-0XA0 is a SIMATIC DP Bus Connector designed for PROFIBUS networks. It supports a maximum transmission rate of 12 Mbit/s, enabling high-speed data transfer for industrial automation systems. The connector features an angled cable outlet with dimensions of 16 x 54 x 34 mm, making it suitable for compact installation spaces. Equipped with a terminating resistor and isolation, it helps reduce line reflections and ensures stable signal transmission. Powered by 24V DC, it provides defined RS 485 levels for bus nodes, allowing nodes like ET 200S to be coupled or decoupled without feedback from the terminated PROFIBUS network. This connector is approved for use in Zone 2 non-intrinsically safe PROFIBUS networks, and is compatible with SIMATIC distributed I/O systems including ET 200S and ET 200M for Zone 2 applications, and ET 200iSP intrinsically safe systems for Zone 1 environments. Note that this product has been fully discontinued, with 6ES7972-0BA42-0XA0 designated as its replacement model.
