Caution
Assembly
Components of the SpliTConnect tap system must only be assembled in bus segments that are not operational.
Otherwise accidents or functional disruptions are possible.
The SpliTConnect tap system is intended only for use with the SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS FC process cable (order
number 6XV1830-5EH10, 6XV1830-5FH10). If put to other use or when used with other cable types, this can lead
to accidents or destruction or functional disruption of the SpliTConnect system and the cable.
Bend radii
Make sure that you keep to the permitted bend radii
of the PROFIBUS FC process cable:
- bending once > 60 mm
- multiple bending > 120 mm.
60 mm
Changing the installation
First dismantle the contacting element (2) before you
dismantle components of a previously assembled
SpliTConnect tap system.
Otherwise the contacting element (2) may be
damaged.
If you remove the contacting element (2), the ends of
the cables must be stripped and prepared again. If
you want a pluggable connection, use either the
SpliTConnect M12 outlet or the SpliTConnect M12
jack.
1. Unscrew the contacting element (2) and pull it
away from the SpliTConnect tap (1).

element (2) for this.
It is advisable to use a cable lug.
