Siemens 6GK1500-0FC10 PROFIBUS Quick Connector

Product Dimensions：

The Siemens 6GK1500-0FC10 (also known as the PB RS485 Connector) is a specialized PROFIBUS bus connector designed for high-speed industrial networking. It is a critical component for connecting PROFIBUS nodes (such as PLCs, HMIs, and Drives) to the physical bus cable.

Product Detailed Description

The 6GK1500-0FC10 belongs to the SIMATIC NET family. Its primary feature is the FastConnect (FC) technology, which allows for the quick stripping and connection of PROFIBUS cables without the need for specialized manual wire stripping of individual cores. It features a $90^\circ$ cable outlet, making it ideal for compact cabinets where space is at a premium.

Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• FastConnect (FC) Efficiency: Significantly reduces assembly time. By using the Siemens stripping tool, you can prepare the cable and terminate it in seconds without damaging the shielding or conductors.

• Integrated Terminating Resistor: Each connector includes a built-in resistor. By flipping the external switch, you can easily enable termination at the first and last nodes of the network segment.

• Visual Error Prevention: The “transparent” or clearly marked interior (depending on the specific revision) helps ensure the green and red wires are inserted into the correct slots.

• Strain Relief: The integrated metal casing for the cable entry provides excellent strain relief and ensures continuous shielding for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Important Considerations (Precautions)

• Switch Position: Only the first and last physical nodes on a PROFIBUS segment should have the terminating resistor switched to “ON.” If an intermediate node is set to “ON,” it will disrupt the signal for the rest of the line.

• Cable Preparation: While you don’t need to strip individual wires, you must use a compatible PROFIBUS FastConnect stripping tool (like the 6GK1905-6AA00) to ensure the foil and braid are cut to the correct lengths for the grounding clamps.

• Bend Radius: Even with a $90^\circ$ outlet, ensure the outgoing PROFIBUS cable maintains its minimum bend radius to avoid internal signal reflection or cable damage.

Product Applications

• Factory Automation: Connecting S7-300/400/1200/1500 PLCs to decentralized I/O stations (ET 200 series).

• Process Industry: Linking DCS systems to field devices like pressure transmitters or flow meters.

• Motion Control: Connecting Siemens SINAMICS drives to a central controller for high-speed synchronization.

• Retrofitting: Upgrading older PROFIBUS networks where reliability and fast maintenance are required.
