PROFIBUS
FastConnect technology
PROFIBUS FastConnect
®
is a system
for the fast and easy assembly of
PROFIBUS copper cables.
The system comprises three
compatible components:
· FastConnect bus cables for rapid
installation
· FastConnect stripping tool
· FastConnect PROFIBUS bus
connector
PROFIBUS FastConnect bus cables
can also be connected to conventional
bus connectors.
The FastConnect stripping technique
enables fast and easy connection of
PROFIBUS connectors to PROFIBUS
cables.
The special structure of the
FastConnect bus cables enables the
use of the FastConnect stripping tool
which in one step, can strip the outer
casing and the woven shield with
perfect precision.
The cable prepared in this way is
connected in the FastConnect bus con-
nector by means of the insulation
displacement method.
The PROFIBUS FastConnect system
has the following advantages:
· Fast and easy assembly of
PROFIBUS copper cables due to the
preset stripping tool (FC stripping
tool)
· Shorter connection times for termi-
nals by stripping the outer casing and
the woven shield in one step
· Termination can be checked in the
assembled state through the trans-
parent cover for the insulation pierc-
ing terminals thanks to color-coding.
Different types of cable are available
for the various application possibilities
for configuring PROFIBUS networks.
Figure 9: Fast installation with PROFIBUS FastConnect
Measuring the length of cable
to be stripped by laying the cable
in the template until the index
finger of the left hand reaches
the stop.
Insert the measured cable end
into the tool. The stop for the
insertion depth is indicated by the
index finger of the left hand.
Fix the cable end in the stripping
tool up as far as the stop.
Rotate stripping tool 4 times in
the direction of the arrow to strip
the wire.
Pull stripping tool in the closed
state from the end of the cable.
Remove core protection film.
When the cores have been
stripped, the cable can be
assembled in the PROFIBUS
plug.
