857-VPA3CG Profibus DP Option Module
Specifications
General
PROFIBUS Cable
PROFIBUS devices are connected in a bus structure. Up to 32 stations (master or
slaves) can be connected in one segment.
The bus is terminated by an active bus terminator at the beginning and end of
each segment (see
Cabling Bus Termination on page 11
). To ensure error-free
operation, both bus terminations must always be powered. When more than 32
stations are used, repeaters (line amplifiers) must be used to connect the
individual bus segments.
The maximum cable length depends on the transmission speed and cable type.
The specified cable length is increased by the use of repeaters. The use of more
than three repeaters in series is not recommended.
