The product 6GK1905-6PS00 from Siemens is a BFOC polishing kit for use in the PROFIBUS Plastic-Fiber-Optic system. It is designed for the precise polishing of BFOC connectors used in industrial networks, particularly within the SIMATIC NETFIBER OPTIC technology. The kit is intended for processing 100 BFOC connectors and enables reliable optical connections in fieldbus systems based on optical fibers.

Applications

The polishing kit is used in industrial environments where stable and interference-free data transmission via optical fibers is required. It is specifically designed for use with PROFIBUS systems employed in automation technology within production facilities, manufacturing lines, and other industrial applications. Processing BFOC connectors requires precise surface treatment to minimize reflections and signal loss. The kit supports the creation of high-quality optical connections, which are crucial for the reliability of the entire bus infrastructure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The BFOC polishing kit includes all necessary tools and materials to properly polish 100 BFOC connectors. Polishing is a critical step in assembling optical fiber connectors, as a clean, flat, and smooth surface optimizes light transmission. The kit is designed to ensure the required accuracy and consistency for industrial applications. It is used in conjunction with the SIMATIC NETFIBER OPTIC system, which is based on the use of plastic optical fibers (Plastic-Fiber-Optic).

Technology Explained Simply

Polishing BFOC connectors smooths the optical surface and reduces reflections. This is necessary to maintain signal quality in the PROFIBUS network. The use of plastic optical fibers (Plastic-Fiber-Optic) enables cost-effective and robust data transmission over short to medium distances in industrial environments. The polishing kit supports the creation of connections that meet the requirements of industrial automation technology.

Compatibility and Accessories

The polishing kit is specifically developed for use with BFOC connectors in the PROFIBUS system. It is part of the SIMATIC NETFIBER OPTIC product family and is used in conjunction with other components of this system, such as optical fiber cables and connectors. It is, however, sufficiently dimensioned for the intended applications in the industrial sector.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by using the tools included in the kit to polish the BFOC connectors. The exact procedure is well known within industrial installation practices and does not require special equipment or additional tools. The kit is designed for use without additional aids, although the exact working method depends on the respective installation instructions.

Advantages in Operation

Using the BFOC polishing kit ensures high-quality optical connections, leading to improved signal transmission and reduced error rates in the PROFIBUS network. The reliability of the connections contributes to the stability of the entire automation system. The ability to process 100 connectors makes the kit an economical solution for larger installation projects in industrial environments.
