7.2 Termination
Bus line termination [T] consists of a series circuit of one capacitor and one film resistor
in both ends of the main bus line.
Permissible values:
R = 100 Ω ±2 %
C = 1
µF ±20 %
It is common that one of the Line terminations is included in the Segment Coupler.

8 Field devices
Figure 31 shows a typical PROFIBUS architecture. The field devices with low power
consumption (e.g., pressure and temperature measuring transmitters) are powered by a
two-wire bus. Signal transmission is also performed over the bus. A non ex-installation
allows up to 32 devices per segment, depending on the power capacity of the segment
coupler. In an Ex-installation normally 10 units can be connected in each segment.
