3.1 D-sub adapter cable for testing live systems
This D-sub adapter cable is optimized for reduced influence on live
PROFIBUS DP segment operation. Thereby it is most suitable for testing of
running plants. The risk of critical influences on bus operation which can cause
a plant standstill is significantly reduced. Attention: Using this cable it is not
possible to use the both active functions master simulator and topology
detection (see page
23 ).
