The cable length specifications relate to cable type A described below:
Surge impedance
135...165
Capacitance per unit length
<30 pf/m
Loop resistance
110
/km
Cross-sectional area
>0.34 mm²
Preferably, a 9-pin D-Sub connector should be used for Profibus networks with RS-485
transmission technology. The pin assignments on the connector and the wiring
specifications are listed at the end of this chapter.
Several manufacturers offer Profibus DP cables and connectors. Please consult the
Profibus product catalog (www.profibus.com) for designations and reference
addresses.
Attention!
When connecting the devices, make sure you do not mix up the data lines. You must
use shielded data lines. The braided shield and the foil shield underneath it (where
applicable) should be connected at both sides and with a good conductive connection
to protective ground.
Additionally, where possible you must ensure that data lines are laid separately from
all power cables.
As an example of an appropriate cable, we recommend the following from Siemens:
Simatic Net Profibus 6XV1
Order no.: 830-0AH10
* (UL) CMX 75 °C (Shielded) AWG 22 *
With data rates of
≥
1.5 Mbit/s, branching must be avoided during installation.
Note!
For additional installation information, please refer to the Profibus DP installation
guidelines (order no. 2.111) from the PNO.
