Wiring PROFIBUS PA
Terminals 7 and 8 are reserved for the PROFIBUS PA connection. The PA interface is polarity
independent, so the wires can be connected arbitrarily.
• 7: PA wire 1. This device is polarity independent
• 8: PA wire 2. This device is polarity independent
To achieve the best EMC performance, the unshielded wires should be as short as possible, 2-3
cm. Shield coverage of 90% is ideal.
CAUTION
Protection from electromagnetic interference
It is recommended to use shielded twin core cables for connecting PROFIBUS PA to the
transmitter.
Connection topologies
PA supports LINE, DROP, STAR topology and a combination of the three.
