ELAU C200/10/1/1/1/00
Product Introduction
The C200/10/1/1/1/00 code is listed by industrial spare-part sources as an ELAU communication module for Profibus DP networks. Public spare-part descriptions associate it with servo and automation systems requiring redundant electrical buses, optical ring communication and long-distance fiber links between controllers, drives and remote stations.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications
Profibus DP electrical interface uses a 9-pin Sub-D female connector. Supported DP baud rates include 9.6 kbps, 19.2 kbps, 45.45 kbps, 93.75 kbps, 187.5 kbps, 500 kbps, 1.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps and 12 Mbps. Electrical signal delay is 11 bits or less per port. Fiber options support multimode 850 nm or 1310 nm and singlemode 1310 nm or 1550 nm. Multimode transmission distance is up to 2 km and singlemode up to 20 km. Connector types include SC, FC and ST, with SC as standard in many configurations. Surge protection includes 4000 V lightning protection, 1.5 A overcurrent protection and 600 W surge protection. External termination resistors must be added according to network design because the module does not provide built-in bus termination.
Functional Features
The module provides logically independent dual electrical Profibus interfaces for backup or dual-segment access. Dual optical ports support chain or ring topologies. Redundant ring operation restores communication after fiber faults with fast self-healing behavior. Electrical and optical ports can be mixed for point-to-point and multi-segment networks.
Application Scenarios
ELAU PacDrive and Schneider motion systems, packaging and printing lines with distributed I/O, long-distance Profibus DP links between main control room and field stations, redundant fiber communication for harsh electromagnetic environments, servo drive networks requiring high availability.
Performance Parameters
Profibus DP from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps, electrical delay 11 bits maximum, multimode fiber up to 2 km, singlemode fiber up to 20 km, 4000 V lightning protection, 1.5 A overcurrent protection, 600 W surge protection.
Material Composition
Industrial metal or coated enclosure according to build, FR4 communication PCB, optical transceiver modules for multimode or singlemode SFP-style interfaces, Sub-D electrical connectors, SC/FC/ST optical adapters, protection and isolation components.
Structural Characteristics
Compact DIN or cabinet-mounted communication module, dual Sub-D Profibus electrical ports, dual fiber optical ports, status LEDs for link and fault diagnosis, DIP or software configuration for baud rate and ring mode, separate electrical and optical grounding sections.
Working Principle
The module converts Profibus DP electrical signals to optical signals and back through the integrated transceivers. Electrical ports exchange data with controllers, drives and I/O. Optical ports transmit the same DP data over multimode or singlemode fiber in chain or ring topology. If one fiber segment fails, the ring protocol reroutes communication through the remaining path and restores network continuity without manual reconfiguration.
Installation Requirements
Mount in a grounded control cabinet or DIN assembly with adequate ventilation. Use Profibus-approved shielded cable for electrical segments and set correct baud rate, station address and topology. Install matching multimode or singlemode fiber, SC/FC/ST connectors and proper optical attenuation margin. Add external 220 ohm Profibus termination at physical bus ends. Verify ground isolation between electrical and optical sections.
Usage Precautions
Do not mix multimode and singlemode optics on the same port. Confirm Profibus station addresses before network activation. Keep fiber ends clean and avoid sharp bending below manufacturer bend radius. Test ring self-healing after installation. Replace through ELAU/Schneider-compatible spare channels using the exact C200/10/1/1/1/00 or C2001011100 ordering data.
