The Siemens 6AG1972-0AB01-4XA0 is a SIPLUS DP diagnostic repeater based on the standard 6ES7972-0AB01-0XA0. It is designed for PROFIBUS DP networks and combines RS-485 signal regeneration with online monitoring of the physical bus lines.
The repeater supports transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s and operates as a PROFIBUS DP standard slave with DP-V1 functionality. It provides three PROFIBUS bus-segment connections using FastConnect insulation-displacement technology, together with a 24 V DC supply connection and a 9-pin Sub-D interface for PG functions. The SIPLUS version adds conformal coating for demanding industrial environments.
