CHAPTER 3 WIRING
RS485 is the transmission technology used in 2404 f and 2408 f PROFIBUS-DP controllers.
Connections are made to the rear terminal block as follows:
Controller Terminal Designation Function
HB Shield RF Ground for cable shielding
HC VP 5 Volts for termination network only
HD B/B RXD/TXD positive
HE A/A RXD/TXD negative
HF D Gnd 0 Volts for termination network only
Earthing the shield
The PROFIBUS standard suggests that both ends of the transmission line be connected to safety earth. If such a course is
followed, care must be taken to ensure that differences in local earth potential do not allow circulating currents to flow, as
these can not only induce large common mode signals in the data lines, but can also produce potentially dangerous heating in
the cable. Where doubt exists, it is recommended that the shield be earthed at only one section of the network.
Do not connect the shield to DGND.
