Electrical star segment
Several repeaters are combined to form an active PROFI-
BUS star coupler. Other repeaters are connected to this
by dual-fiber optical fiber lines. The repeaters of the star
coupler are connected to one another via the electrical
channel (electrical star segment).
All OZD Profi types for different fiber types (plastic, PCF,
glass) can be combined using the electrical star segment.
Please note:
䡲
CH1 in mode ”Monitor off“ (S0 = 1) must be
activated on all OZD Profi 12M … PRO which are
connected to the electrical star segment. This
deactivates the segmenting function of the RS 485
channel on these OZD Profi 12M … PRO, provi-
ding a high degree of availability of the electrical
star segment.
