Repeater Profibus Anybus ProfiHub B4FO2+ Operating voltage: 12 V DC, 24 V DC

The ProfiHub B4FO2+ is the most cost-effective solution for converting PROFIBUS fiber optic segments to several RS 485 segments. It enables applications where long cable paths and separation between devices and segments are required. The ability to connect several copper segments to a fiber optic segment reduces expensive fiber optic couplers and creates an object-oriented overview for operation.
The B4FO2+ is equipped with the unique functionality of four galvanically separated transparent repeaters and an optical connection module. This allows network structures to be set up with four extended stub lines, each of which can operate up to 31 devices individually and have the same length as the main bus line. This robust network component is equipped with four copper segments with DP-RS 485 specifications. Since the ProfiHub B4FO2+ generates isolated segments, the devices can be removed and connected during operation. There are no electrical bus problems or EMC faults in one spur line spreading to the other segments. The intelligent logic and isolation circuits of the ProfiHubs do not change the bit width. Thus the ProfiHubs have no restrictions for the serial interconnection.
