• Cable Length: Approximately 3 meters.
• Cable Type: UL2464 26 AWG x 8C (shielded twisted pair for signal integrity).

3. Electrical & Performance

• Signal Conversion:
  • Converts electrical signals from the PC to optical signals for transmission over the Profibus DP bus.
• Data Rate:
  • Supports Profibus DP speeds up to 12 Mbps (adjustable via dip switches or auto-negotiation).
• Redundancy:
  • Dual-channel design for redundancy and fault tolerance.

4. Environmental & Mechanical

• Operating Temperature: -10°C to +70°C (wide-temperature option available for -40°C to +85°C).
• Humidity: Up to 90% relative humidity (non-condensing).
• Dimensions:
  • Length: 3 meters (as specified).
  • Weight: Approximately 800 grams.
• Protection: IP30 rating (protected against solid objects >2.5mm, not waterproof).
• Mounting: 35mm DIN rail mountable for easy installation in control panels.

5. Standards & Certifications

• EMC Compliance:
  • IEC61000-4-2 (ESD): ±8kV air, ±4kV contact.
  • IEC61000-4-3 (RS): 10V/m (80-1000MHz).
  • IEC61000-4-4 (EFT): ±2kV (L-N-PE), ±1.0kV (data lines).
• Safety Standards: Complies with industrial safety regulations (e.g., CE marking).

6. Applications

• Industrial Automation: Ideal for configuring and debugging ABB S800 I/O modules and controllers in industries such as:
  • Wind, hydro, and nuclear power plants.
  • Production lines and machinery control.
• Long-Distance Transmission: Supports fiber-optic transmission up to 20 km, overcoming limitations of traditional copper cables.

7. Key Features

• Optical Conversion: Enables seamless integration between electrical signals (PC) and optical signals (Profibus DP).
• Redundancy: Dual-channel design ensures high reliability in critical applications.
• Flexible Configuration: Supports point-to-point, star, chain, ring, and hybrid network topologies.

Usage Notes

• Compatibility: Ensure the TK212A matches the device requirements (e.g., CI801 requires additional TK527V030 for software downloads).
• Environment: Avoid using in humid, high-temperature, or corrosive environments to prevent performance degradation.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect the cable for damage or loose connections. Store in a dry, ventilated area.
