Surge Protection Recommendation for Profibus DP
Many industrial environments are vulnerable to power transients
and lightning. Water and wastewater plants are frequent targets of
lightning. Lightning generated fields and power surges can cause
instrument failures at these facilities. Surge protectors limit the
magnitude of over-voltage transients and protect the equipment
from damage. For data lines, at a minimum, a surge protector
should provide two stages of protection with sub-nanosecond
response time. Data line surge protection should be installed on a
Profibus DP network where it might be susceptible to lightning or
transients. The purpose of the surge protector is to protect the
equipment that it is located next to, not the network cable.
For best performance/protection connect the surge protector as
close as possible to the device. Connect the device ground
connection through the surge protector ground to the local
protective earth ground. Contact the local Profibus network
component supplier for recommendations on the best surge
protector for a system.
