Installation of bus cables
When you install PROFIBUS cables, you must not
•
twist,
•
stretch
•
or compress them.
When wiring indoor bus cables, also maintain the following marginal conditions (d
A
= outer
cable diameter):
Table 4-23 Marginal conditions for wiring interior bus cables
Characteristics
Condition
Bending radius (one-off)
≥ 80 mm (10 x d
A
)
Bending radius (multiple times)
≥ 160 mm (20 x d
A
)
Permitted temperature range during installation
–5 °C to +50 °C
Shelf and static operating temperature range
–22 °F to +149 °F
Reference
For information on the use of fiber-optic cables for PROFIBUS, refer to the SIMATIC NET,
PROFIBUS Networks Manual.

Fields of application
You need bus connectors to connect the PROFIBUS cable to an MPI or PROFIBUS-DP
interface
You do not require a bus connector for:
•
DP slaves with degree of protection IP 65 (ET 200X, for example)
•
RS 485 repeater.
