FAQs

What bus systems is the Phoenix Contact 2708999 compatible with?

This connector is specifically designed for CAN, CANopen, and SafetyBUS p systems.

What is the maximum data rate supported?

The connector supports data rates up to 1 Mbps.

How do I activate the termination resistor?

The termination resistor can be switched on or off using the integrated slide switch located on the connector body.

What is the voltage rating of this connector?

The voltage rating for this connector is 5 V.

Can I use this connector with any D-SUB cable?

This connector is designed for specific bus systems (CAN, CANopen, SafetyBUS p) and has a specific pin assignment (2,3,7,9). It is not a universal D-SUB connector and requires compatible bus cabling.

How does the dual 35° cable entry benefit installation?

The dual 35° entries provide flexibility in routing cables within control cabinets or tight spaces, allowing for a more organized and efficient installation.

What does 'enhanced EMC protection' mean for this product?

It means the connector's housing (metal-plated ABS) offers improved shielding against electromagnetic interference, which is crucial for maintaining reliable data transmission in noisy industrial environments.

Troubleshooting

No communication or intermittent connection.

Verify the specific pin assignment (2,3,7,9) is correctly wired to the bus system. Check that the termination resistor is correctly switched (enabled/disabled) based on network topology. Ensure cable connections are secure at the terminal blocks and inspect the cable for damage.

Low data transfer rates or errors.

Confirm that the bus system is operating within its supported speed (up to 1 Mbps). Check for potential interference from unshielded cables or nearby electrical noise sources. Ensure proper grounding and high-EMC protection is maintained.

Connector does not fit a standard D-SUB port.

Ensure you are using the correct D-SUB connector type. This connector is specifically designed for bus systems and may have a slightly different housing or pinout than standard VGA or serial D-SUB connectors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction with high EMC protection.
  • Integrated termination resistor simplifies network setup.
  • Flexible cable entry options for various installations.
  • Supports high data transmission speeds up to 1 Mbps.
  • Designed for reliable field assembly.

Cons

  • Specific pin assignment (2,3,7,9) requires careful wiring.
  • Limited to 5V voltage rating.
  • Metal-plated ABS housing may be less durable in extreme environments compared to full metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare your CAN, CANopen, or SafetyBUS p cable according to the specific wire gauge and insulation stripping requirements for the screw terminal blocks.
  2. Connect the bus cable wires to the designated screw terminals within the connector, paying close attention to the specific pin assignment (pins 2, 3, 7, 9).
  3. Ensure the cable entry is secured to maintain the connector's integrity and protection rating.
  4. If required, activate the integrated termination resistor using the slide switch.

Compatibility:

  • Bus Systems: Primarily designed for CAN, CANopen, and SafetyBUS p.
  • Cable Diameter: Suitable for bus cables with an outside diameter of approximately 8 mm, adhering to CiA Draft Recommendation 303-1.
  • Voltage Rating: Operates at a maximum of 5V.
  • Gender: Female (socket).

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the connector to harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.
  • Ensure connections remain tight and free from corrosion. Periodically inspect for any signs of damage.
