The 972-0DP20 is a compact, 45° PROFIBUS connector equipped with integrated diagnostic LEDs for real-time status evaluation and fault detection. Housed in a rugged, all-metal casing for superior noise immunity, it utilizes EasyConn insulation-cutting technology for fast, tool-free installation and features an integrated PG port for convenient programming and diagnostic access.

Product Description

The VIPA 972-0DP20 is specifically designed to optimize cable management and maintain high signal integrity in demanding, space-constrained industrial environments.

Angled Cable Routing: Features a 45-degree cable outlet, specifically engineered to provide ergonomic strain relief and smoother cable routing in control cabinets where standard straight (0°) or right-angle (90°) connectors might cause excessive cable bending or mechanical stress.

Real-Time Diagnostics: Equipped with four integrated diagnostic LEDs that provide immediate visual feedback on bus status, power supply, and common transmission faults. This allows technicians to identify and resolve network anomalies quickly without external testing equipment.

Integrated PG Port: Incorporates a dedicated programming (PG) interface directly on the connector housing, enabling engineers to plug in programming tools, PCs, or diagnostic devices without interrupting or disconnecting the operational PROFIBUS network.

Ruggedized Shielding: Built with a durable, all-metal die-cast zinc housing that ensures excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), effectively shielding data transmission from electrical noise and interference common on factory floors.

Fast Tool-Free Installation: Utilizes VIPA’s EasyConn insulation-displacement technology, allowing for rapid cable termination via cutting clamps. Technicians can connect standard PROFIBUS cables without stripping the inner conductor insulation, drastically reducing assembly time.

Network Compatibility: Supports standard transmission rates up to 12 Mbit/s and features an integrated, switchable terminating resistor for flexible segment configuration. It serves as a dependable, direct alternative to Siemens 35°/45° angled PROFIBUS connectors (such as the 6ES7 972-0BA41 and 0BB41 series).
