SYSTEM RELATIONSHIP
Where 6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0 Fits
Functional position An independently powered active RS485 terminating element for correctly closing PROFIBUS and MPI segments. Because termination remains powered separately from bus participants, end devices can be coupled or uncoupled without removing the electrical termination.
Family comparison Compare this device with passive terminating connectors and RS485 repeaters by function. A passive connector depends on the attached station; a repeater regenerates and separates segments; 6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0 provides independently powered termination at a segment end.

Availability A global network helps locate difficult industrial parts.
Install it at the physical end of the PROFIBUS or MPI segment. Correct termination is required at both segment ends to limit signal reflections.
02
Why does 6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0 need 24 V DC power?
Independent power keeps the terminating network active even when the adjacent participant is removed or switched off.
03
Can 6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0 replace a PROFIBUS repeater?
No. It terminates a segment but does not regenerate signals, isolate segments or increase the permitted node count.
04
Does 6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0 support 12 Mbit/s?
Yes, the active terminator is intended for PROFIBUS/MPI rates from 9.6 kbit/s through 12 Mbit/s when the complete segment follows the applicable cable rules.
05
What matters when sourcing 6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0 during phase-out?
Confirm the exact article number, terminal and housing condition, 24 V supply arrangement, test status, quantity and long-term maintenance plan.
