Warnings are occasionally provided in these operating instructions in the following manner:
They are always identified by the signalling word "

operating at 31,25kbits/s. H1 fieldbus has been widely
adopted in the process industries and is suitable for use in regulatory control and monitoring applications
in safe and hazardous areas.
Profibus-PA
One of the three vendor-independent fieldbus variants supported by the Profibus organisation.
Profibus-PA is intended for Process Automation and shares the same 31,25kbits/s physical layer
specification as F

Trunk
The main communication cable on a fieldbus segment. It is typically the longest cable path between any
two fieldbus devices.
Terminator
Network of components that are used at each end of a fieldbus segment to match the characteristic
impedance of the cable.
Spur
A branch cable connecting a fieldbus device to the fieldbus trunk. Spurs can be up to 120m in length.
Fieldbus power supply
A power supply that provides DC power onto a fieldbus trunk without interfering with the communications
signals. Combined with the two terminators, it conditions the trunk impedance to be compatible with
fieldbus instruments.
