Network Connectors
PROFIBUS connections are created with a 9 pin sub-D connector. A minimum connection
consists of a shielded twisted-pair cable (shield to pin 1 and twisted-pair wires to pins 3
and 8) with terminating connections in the appropriate bus plugs. The pin to signal
conventions are described below.
