The Murrelektronik 56001 Cube20 BN-P DP-V1 DI8 is a compact PROFIBUS-DP bus node designed for decentralised industrial automation systems. It provides eight PNP digital inputs, supports up to 15 extension modules and offers input and output address ranges of up to 244 bytes. The node operates at 24 V DC with a maximum current consumption of 150 mA, while rotary switches enable straightforward address selection from 0 to 99.
Designed for DIN rail mounting, the 56001 features spring-clamp terminals, a 9-pole female D-Sub PROFIBUS connection and LED-based status indication. Integrated diagnostics monitor undervoltage, short circuits and overload conditions at module and channel level. Its IP20 enclosure measures 117 × 56 × 47 mm and is suitable for control cabinet installations operating between 0°C and 55°C.

What type of industrial component is this?
It is a Cube20 bus node designed to connect decentralised digital inputs to a PROFIBUS DP network in an industrial automation system.
Which communication protocol does the bus node use?
The bus node communicates via PROFIBUS DP and is identified by the model designation Cube20 BN-P DP-V1 DI8.
How many digital inputs are provided?
Murrelektronik 56001 provides eight digital inputs, labelled DI0 through DI7.
What type of digital input is supported?
The unit supports PNP digital inputs in accordance with EN 61131-2. The specified input filter time is 1 ms.
What operating voltage does the unit require?
The specified DC operating voltage is 24 V. Its maximum current consumption is 150 mA.
How is the PROFIBUS address configured?
The network address is configured using a rotary switch. The supported address range is 0 to 99.
What diagnostic functions are included?
Diagnostic features include undervoltage, short-circuit and overload detection. Status information can be communicated through the bus and indicated by LEDs.
How many extension modules can be connected?
The Cube20 bus node can accommodate up to 15 extension modules, allowing the local I/O arrangement to be expanded.
How is the component mounted?
It is designed to snap onto a mounting rail conforming to EN 60715, making it suitable for installation inside an industrial control cabinet.
What are the unit's dimensions?
The unit measures 117 mm high, 56 mm wide and 47 mm deep. Its stated weight is approximately 0.17 kg.
What environmental conditions can it operate in?
The specified operating temperature range is 0°C to 55°C, while the storage temperature range is -20°C to 85°C.
What degree of ingress protection does it have?
The bus node is rated IP20 in accordance with EN IEC 60529 and is intended for installation in a suitably enclosed control environment.
What connections are used for the bus and I/O terminals?
The PROFIBUS input uses a 9-pole female D-Sub connection. The power and digital input connections use female six-pole spring-clamp terminals.
What conductor size can the terminals accept?
The specified maximum connection cross-section is 1.5 mm².
Does the unit provide galvanic separation?
Yes. The specifications state that galvanic separation is provided for the operating voltage and between the input and output sections.
What are the input terminal assignments?
One six-pole input terminal carries DI0 to DI3, US and 0 V. The second carries DI4 to DI7 and two 0 V connections.
