Features:
- The enclosure bundle combines eight PROFIBUS PA spurs with eight configurable DIQ channels.
- A two-port PROFINET BusAdapter path supports both MRP media redundancy and S2 system redundancy.
- The IP66 aluminum housing arrives with cable glands, shield busbar, and shield terminals installed.
The field unit concentrates PA instruments and conventional digital signals at one distributed process-I/O node.
Separate spur supervision reports PA line state while input, output, and supply LEDs identify the condition of the digital side.
Redundant 24 V DC feeds preserve the field-device and communication path across the documented five-millisecond voltage interruption.
The Siemens 6ES7655-5PX11-1AX0 SIMATIC CFU PA Bundle may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Fieldbus branch organization
- Eight branches: Each spur provides one PA field-device connection rather than sharing a digital channel terminal.
- Power and data: The spur pair carries the 31.25 kbit/s PA signal together with the limited field-device supply.
- Fault containment: A short-circuit-proof spur restricts a branch fault from consuming the entire field-device output.
- Status feedback: Dedicated spur indicators distinguish line condition from the CFU's PROFINET status.
Digital channel roles
- Selectable direction: Each of the eight DIQ points is parameterized as an input or a current-sourcing output.
- Input sensing: Input mode evaluates 24 V field signals with IEC 61131 Type 1 or Type 3 characteristics.
- Output switching: Output mode drives a DC load while electronic short-circuit monitoring supervises the channel.
- Counter option: One selected input can count rising events at up to 1 kHz using a 32-bit upward counter.
Power distribution and buffering
- Dual feeds: Two 24 V DC connections allow redundant supply wiring to the enclosed assembly.
- Protected input: Reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection guard the electronics supply path.
- Brief interruption: Stored energy maintains field devices and communication for the specified five milliseconds.
- Thermal derating: The permitted aggregate output current decreases as the horizontal ambient approaches 60 °C.
Cable and shield arrangement
- Preassembled body: The CFU is mounted inside the aluminum enclosure before delivery.
- Cable glands: Field and network cables enter through the fitted gland positions rather than an open terminal frame.
- Shield path: The busbar and shield terminals provide a defined landing point for cable screens.
- Mounting choice: Horizontal and vertical positions are supported, with separate temperature limits for each orientation.
