2.3.4 PROFIBUS Connection

The PROFIBUS interface of the GW-7552 is a DB9 female connector. The
connector uses the standard Profibus 9 pin assignment. It is recommended to
use a standard PROFIBUS cable and connector (DB9 male). As with every
serial bus the rate of safe data transmission in a Profibus network decreases with
increasing distance between master and slave. Table 7 shows the transmission
