Product Overview
The SIMATIC DP RS 485-IS coupler links a standard PROFIBUS-DP segment to an intrinsically safe RS 485-IS segment for certified field devices in hazardous-area applications.
The coupler provides galvanic isolation between the PROFIBUS-DP and RS 485-IS sides for fieldbus installations in hazardous areas. Both sides support PROFIBUS rates from 9.6 kBaud to 1.5 MBaud without application-program changes in the connected nodes. Separate DP1, DP2 and ON indicators show activity on each bus side and the condition of the 24 V supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
What enclosure is required for 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0 in Zone 2?
Install it in an enclosure rated at least IP54 and maintain pollution degree 2 and the permitted overvoltage category.
Why must equipotential bonding be checked before wiring 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0?
A secure rail-earth connection and local equipotential bonding help maintain the required protective and intrinsic-safety conditions.
Which field devices can connect to 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0?
Connect only PROFIBUS devices and associated equipment certified for the RS 485-IS segment and the applicable hazardous-area design.
What supply should be connected to 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0?
Use a 24 V DC supply between 20.4 and 28.8 V and follow the specified terminal polarity and conductor limits.
How are communication faults diagnosed on 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0?
The yellow DP1 and DP2 indicators show activity on the standard and intrinsically safe bus sides, while the green ON indicator confirms the supply.
When should the terminator on 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0 be switched on?
Enable it when the coupler is at the physical end of the RS 485-IS segment and leave it off at intermediate positions.
What should be confirmed before replacing 6ES7972-0AC80-0XA0?
Check the hazardous-area approval, enclosure, equipotential bonding, bus addresses, transfer rate, termination, cable routing and 24 V wiring.
Compatibility & Ordering Notes
Compatibility Checklist
- Use only certified PROFIBUS RS 485-IS nodes and associated equipment that match the hazardous-area installation design.
- Connect the mounting rail to local equipotential bonding before attaching the intrinsically safe bus segment.
- Preserve the segment topology, termination position, station addresses and transfer rate during replacement.
