The ProfiSwitch X5 is a PROFIBUS network device that can be used to divide a metallic PROFIBUS network into up to 5+1 galvanically separated channels and can also change the PROFIBUS network speed for individual channels. You change the PROFIBUS speed using rotary switches. You can use the ProfiSwitch X5 in new networks as well as in existing installations that require baud rate reductions. A common case of deployment is when the PROFIBUS MASTER is communicating at a very fast speed of 12Mbit/s and you want to reduce this speed to, for example, 1.5Mbit. For some reason, it is not possible to change the network speed in the PROFIBUS MASTER, so the ProfiSwitch X5 is a suitable solution for changing the speed within the PROFIBUS network.



Different PROFIBUS speed settings for individual channels are made via rotary switches



Examples of ProfiSwitch X5 applications

  • Due to the reduced speed of the PROFIBUS network, you can use a longer cable to connect more remote devices;
  • By reducing the speed, you also achieve greater robustness of the PROFIBUS network and can postpone the possible replacement of the existing old cabling;
  • the lower PROFIBUS speed will be more resistant to possible interference;
  • some PROFIBUS devices only support lower PROFIBUS speeds and cannot, for example, be connected to a 12Mbit network. With ProfiSwitch X5 you can solve this problem;
  • the possibility of creating redundant connections to increase the robustness of the PROFIBUS network and, in addition, the possibility of changing the network speeds for individual PROFIBUS segments.



 

Galvanic separation of PROFIBUS segments and clearer topology

Like the other devices in the ProfiHub B5 series, the ProfiSwitch X5 is designed to create a star topology for PROFIBUS DP devices. The maximum number of PROFIBUS DP segments created is 5 and all segments are galvanically isolated from each other. Interference or a bad signal in one segment is not transmitted to another segment and thus does not affect the stability of the network in the other segment. Thanks to diagnostic LEDs on each segment, it is possible to detect a fault in a segment before the PROFIBUS network stops working. Each segment is equipped with a SUB9 connector that serves as a measuring point for connecting, for example, a PROFIBUS diagnostic tool.
