Another suitable Profibus-DP connector for use with Unidrive is
available from Siemens. (Part No. 6GK1 500 0EA02.) This connector
has a switch that can enable of disable the internal termination resistor

This connector allows 2 cables to be connected to the same connector,
and does not break the network if disconnected from the Unidrive
Profibus-DP interface. Further details are available from the Siemens

The Siemens connector can be fitted to either Profibus-DP D-type
