An active field distributor for PROFIBUS PA ring networks, providing automatic bus termination and four short-circuit-proof spur connections for field devices.
Version 2 uses screw-type terminal technology and IP65 protection. It supports redundant ring structures and extended-temperature process automation installations.
DIAGNOSTICS · PROTECTION · COMMISSIONING
Reliable operation with structured installation guidance
◆ Diagnostic protection
- Automatic bus termination supports continued ring operation after a segment interruption.
- Four short-circuit-proof spurs isolate individual field connection faults.
- The IP65 enclosure protects the field distributor in demanding plant environments.
- Version-specific status and fieldbus checks support systematic fault localization.
◆ Installation & upgrade
- Install the distributor in a PROFIBUS PA ring according to the Siemens DP/PA bus-coupler manual.
- Use the specified screw-type terminals and preserve shield and grounding continuity.
- Check spur polarity, cable routing and short-circuit protection before energizing the segment.
- When replacing it with an AFD4, allow for the successor device’s larger dimensions.
