Description
Siemens 6ES7972-0AA01-0XA0
SIMATIC DP RS485 Repeater | PROFIBUS/MPI Network Repeater | Up to 12 Mbit/s | Maximum 31 Nodes
Product Detailed Description
The Siemens 6ES7972-0AA01-0XA0 is a SIMATIC DP RS485 Repeater designed to connect and extend PROFIBUS DP and MPI communication networks. It regenerates RS485 bus signals, allowing network segments to be connected while maintaining reliable communication between automation devices.The repeater supports transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s and allows up to 31 nodes per connected bus segment. It operates on a 24 V DC supply and provides two bus cable connections through terminal blocks. A PG/OP interface is also provided for connecting programming or operator devices.With an IP20 protection rating and DIN-rail mounting design, this module is suitable for industrial control cabinets and distributed automation networks.
