Important Safety Information for users
VIPA modules make use of highly integrated components in MOS-
Technology. These components are extremely sensitive to over-voltages
that can occur during electrostatic discharges.
The following symbol is attached to modules that can be destroyed by
electrostatic discharges:

Product description
The ProfiHub B5 PROFIBUS DP repeater in a IP20 casing for industrial
automation, to implement long multi-device spur lines and backbone
structures with star/tree segments for PROFIBUS DP.
PROFIBUS DP is a high speed communication bus that has to comply with
strict rules concerning spur lines, because of possible reflections that could
lead to communication disturbances.
It has the functionality of 5 galvanic isolated transparent repeaters. This
allows network structures with extended spur lines that individually can
handle a maximum of 31 devices and a length equal to the main bus. The
ProfiHub B5 refreshes a received message on one channel and transfers it
to all the other channels.
Because the ProfiHub B5 creates isolated segments, the devices can now
be removed and added during operation. Also electrical bus problems and
EMC disturbances in a spur do not spread to the other segments. The
intelligent logic and isolation circuits of the ProfiHubs do not change the bit
width. This means the ProfiHubs do not have limitations in serial
placement. The logic also detects the transmission speed automatically.
To assist the installation work, termination is integrated and can be
switched on/off. The grounding concept is also selectable: direct or
capacitive grounding.
The ProfiHub B5 is to be powered by DC 10...32V.
For troubleshooting, maintenance and commissioning there are LEDs at
the front side of the ProfiHub B5

The ProfiHubs can be grounded by 3 methods:
• Direct grounding
• Indirect grounding (through a capacitor)
• Combination of direct and indirect
In most cases it is recommended always to use Direct Grounding with the
power supply and the shielding of the PROFIBUS cables. If you do not
want to ground all or some cables to the common ground, the cable
shielding should be connected to pin ‘I’. A capacitor with a parallel high
value resistor will separate the 2 potentials.
If by accident on 1 channel the Direct Grounding is connected with the
Indirect Grounding, the Direct Grounding “wins”.
The cables on the channels and the Main Channel should comply with the
PROFIBUS DP cable specifications for RS485.

Installation
The ProfiHub B5 can be installed everywhere in a non-hazardous area that
complies with IP 20 (DIN 40 050) and the specified temperature range of
-20 to +75oC.
The ProfiHub B5 can be installed in every position, but it is recommended
to install it with the cables pointing down. In this position it is also easier to
read the status display.
The ProfiHub B5 has to be mounted on 35mm DIN rail with a minimum
width of 167mm.
The 3 pin screw type power connector is located on the bottom left of the
ProfiHub B5.
PIN Wiring
+ +
- -
I Indirect grounding
The power supply has to comply with the following specifications:
Voltage: DC 10 ... 32V
Current: Min. 130mA
Wire diameter: < 2.5mm²
To connect the 24V supply to the 3 pin screw-type terminal, proceed as
follows:
• Strip the insulation from the cable or the conductors for the 24V power
supply.
• Secure the conductors in the screw-type terminal.
Note!
There is a grounding point that can be used.
To connect the power supply, you need a 3mm screwdriver.
If the power is switched on it can be diagnosed by the following indicators:
• All the LEDs should be shortly blinking.
• The POWER LED is ON.
• The READY LED is ON or blinking.

Note!
It is recommended to use a power supply with a ground lead (3-wire).
Connect the DP backbone cable to the bottom-left connector of the Main
Channel. If the ProfiHub is not the last device on the bus segment, connect
the Bus-Out cable to the right connector of the Main Channel. The second
method is to place a PROFIBUS standardized plug with an in/out cable on
the DB9 connector.

The termination of the Main Channel has been set to OFF by default. If the
ProfiHub is the last device on the bus, the termination should be set to ON.
The termination of the channels have been set to ON by default. Because it
is assumed that the new segment is started at the ProfiHub.
