Hello cq; Profibus connectors with and without a piggy-back socket can be used for exactly the same purpose, which is to create a Profibus netork with copper cable.. The piggy-back connector allows not ony the setup of a daisy-chaon Profibus network, it allows either a programming PC with a Profbus interface to connect to the network or a temporary connection to a new slave. Siemens even recommends to have one at least in each Profibus segment to allow the programmer to contact each master or slave on the network for diagnostics purposes. If you are interested in Profibus networks, Siemens proposes this system manual that you should find interesting. Ch. 6 discusses connectors for Profibus, their ddifferences, the way to connect them to Profibus cable and their use with different masters and slaves. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/35222591 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
