Eland Cables has recently added Profibus DP and PA to its ever-increasing product portfolio. The company has noted that interest in its Profibus range has grown over recent years, as contractors have looked to improve the efficiency of their industrial installations. One Profibus cable can do the job of multicore and multipair cables by transferring data from different devices down a single pair cable. Profibus DP - available in PVC and LSZH versions - is designed to transport data, at speed, to and from field devices in automation networks. Profibus PA, on the other hand, is used in instrumentation - an intrinsically safe blue version is available (PVC only).
Eland hopes that these Fieldbus cables will help customers continue to reduce wiring and operating costs in industrial automation and instrumentation systems. "We are always looking for ways to best meet the needs of our customers," says Eland's business development manager, Simon Cunningham. "Introducing DP and PA alongside our existing stock profile demonstrates an ongoing commitment to providing high quality solutions for industrial applications. And with Profinet (industrial ethernet cable) available in stock from late December - not to mention plans to expand the range over time - there's a lot more to come", he continues.
Philip Brown, managing director at Eland Cables, adds: "Our dedicated cable sourcing and bespoke design services mean customers know they can come to Eland Cables for all their cable needs - including all types of Fieldbus cables. We act on feedback from our customers, however, and stock cables that will make a difference to their businesses. That's what being a fast, flexible and reliable one-stop-shop for cable is all about."
The Fieldbus cables are being sold alongside Eland's already comprehensive range of CY (PVC and LSZH), SY (PVC) and YY (PVC and LSZH) control cables. Detailed technical specification sheets for all its industrial cables are available to download on the company's comprehensive and searchable website (www.eland.co.uk).
