Connect Your Adapter to the PROFIBUS DP Network 73
Bus Connector
Connect your adapter to the PROFIBUS DP network by attaching a bus
connector to the female 9 pin D-Sub connector on the front of the module.
Cabling and Equipment
Required for Line B Type
Line B cabling can support baudrates as high as 500 kbits/s.
Cables
You need a shielded twisted pair cable for your cabling (bus segments or drop
cables). Any shielded twisted pair cables available on the market can be used to
connect your adapter to a PROFIBUS network, however, bus segment cables
must contain wire for data ground and a cable braid shield. We recommend
Sprecher+Schuh cable as shown in the table below.
T-junction Connectors
You need T-junction connectors to connect your droplines to bus segments. You
can use any t-junctions available on the market, however, we recommend
Sprecher+Schuh connectors as shown in
Table Cable Types and Descriptions on
Termination Blocks
Termination blocks are only needed if the devices on the end of the network do
not have built-in terminating resistors. If you need to use termination blocks, any
termination blocks available on the market can be used, however, we recommend
Sprecher+Schuh termination blocks as shown in the table below.
Bus Connector
Connect your adapter to the PROFIBUS DP network by attaching a bus
connector to the female 9 pin D-Sub connector on the front of the module.
