Siemens, SIMATIC DP, 6ES7972-0BA42-0XA0, RS 485 Bus Connector (Up to 12 Mbit/s), Single-phase, 24 V DC

The Siemens SIMATIC DP PROFIBUS bus connector (model number 6ES7972-0BA42-0XA0) is an industrial network hardware component engineered for connecting field nodes to localized data highways. Running on an auxiliary operational supply rating of 24 V DC over an RS 485 physical interface, it establishes a reliable single-phase reference line path for network transmissions scaling from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s. It features a space-saving 35-degree inclined cable outlet design natively equipped with an integrated switchable terminating resistor with an isolating function, allowing system builders to smoothly manage localized automation architectures without a built-in programming (PG) socket.
