PROFIBUS Connection
M12 circular connector
The M12 socket is inverse coded, and has five pins. Pin 1 is 5 V
DC
and 3 is GND for the active termination resistor.
These must never be misused for other functions, as this can lead to destruction of the device. Pin 2 and pin 4 are
the Profibus signals. These must never be swapped over, as this will prevent communication. Pin 5 is the shield, and
this is capacitatively coupled to the Fieldbus Box chassis.

Pin 6 is 5 V
DC
und Pin 5 is GND for the active termination resistor. These must never be misused for other functions,
as this can lead to destruction of the device. Pin 3 and pin 8 are the Profibus signals. These must never be swapped
over, as this will prevent communication. Shield is connected to the D-Sub housing that is coupled with low-
resistance to the mounting rail.
