Lightning/surge protection for Profibus cable
Lightning/surge protection for Profibus cable
(OP)
Hi all
Has anyone had experience with fitting surge arrestors to Profibus cable?
The cable will be installed underground at 500mm cover and the shield grounded at both ends where the cable enters the buildings.
I am comparing the feasibility of using FO cabling for this link in lieu of the Cu profibus for the isolation properties of the FO cabling (in the above lighting/surge context)
Thanks

Yes, Siemens do the 'optical link module' for 2-channel RS-485 to optical signal
Thanks for your reply
