3.2 Configuration without T Connector and with Power Supply Connec-
tor
In a configuration with a looped-through field bus and a power supply, the
DP/ASi link is connected directly to the PROFIBUS-DP.
The power supply is gated by means of the power supply connector with the
PROFIBUS-DP in a single cable.
You do not require a T connector.
The power supply is fed along the bus cable, i.e. an external power supply of
the slave station is not required.
If a slave station is disconnected from the bus, ”bus traffic” is interrupted for
the slave stations that follow it.
Bus traffic may be disrupted for the slave stations still on the bus owing to
the absence of the terminating resistor.
The degree of expansion with a power supply connector is limited (refer to
section 3.4).
You use cables of different design for the installation:
If you wish to use prefabricated Siemens cables, please turn to sec-
tion 4.4.4.
If you wish to prepare your own cables, please turn to section 4.4.7.
Fig. 3-2 shows a possible installation for the configuration with a power sup-
ply connector and without a T connector:
