16.3 Network Wiring – Profibus DP and PA
Please refer to LMENIM2336 for detailed installation instructions.
Profibus is based on RS 485 communication. The standard EN 50170 specifies the cable for use with
Profibus DP and PA. Table 16.1 shows specifications that need to be fulfilled by the Profibus cable.

The Profibus DP cable is a shielded twisted pair cable.
In general, there are two different types of cables available. The most commonly used cable has
solid wire for the Profibus line.
When there is a need for more flexiblity (bending) and higher environmental resistance, a cable with
stranded wire for the Profibus line and special jackets shall be used.
Limitorque recommends the use of:
• Belden 3079A Specifications, 22 AWG, shielded, solid two conductor
Key Specifications
• Capacitance/ft = 8.5 pF
• Nominal Impedance (ohms) – 150.0

Please refer to IEC 61158 and ANSI/ISA S.50.02 Part 2-1992 for network wiring guidelines.
