The SPC3 also supports automatic baud rate detection. Therefore no hardware
means are necessary to select the required baud rate at the slave. Communica-
tion initiated by the master at a any of the supported baud rate values will
cause the Brooks Smart TMF series device to lock on to this baud rate after an
automatic search for it. Also, if no valid messages have been detected on the
network after a pre-programmed time out, the Brooks Smart TMF series will
switch to baud search mode, and search for the correct baud rate until found.

Tbit is the time required to send 1 data bit, at the associated bit rate. Refer to standard
EN 50170.
** 45.45 kBaud is only used for Profibus-DP and Profibus-PA systems with coupling devices

PROFIBUS NETWORK WIRING
3.6.1
Profibus network wiring requirements
The physical network connection with Brooks Smart TMF devices to be used
with Profibus-DP communication is based on RS-485. The standard EN 50170
specifies the type of cable to be used for this implementation. Table 3-4 below
lists the required cable parameters as specified by EN 50170.
The Profibus cable is a shielded twisted pair cable. The shielding must be
connected to protective ground (i.e. conductive housing on Brooks Smart TMF
series devices) in order to prevent EMC interference from entering the device.
