[7] Termination
switch
A terminal resistor must be provided at the end of the ProfiBus trunk line to prevent bus reflection.
Set the termination switch to the ON position when the ProfiBus Gateway is the terminal module.
However, the switch should be set to the OFF position if an external termination connector is used.
Set the switch to the OFF position if the Gateway is not the terminal module.
