PROFIBUS wiring/installation can be done with:

Copper

Fiber optic

Infrared & RF components

PROFIBUS is based on RS485...

Network consists of RS485 segments

Proper installation

required

Installation - Shielding & GroundingImproves EMC behavior

Provides a low impedance (short) return path for noise and current

Reduces the emission from the bus

!!!Shield is not always connected to protective GND within the devices;

therefore, make sure the cable shield will be connected to GND before it

enters or leaves the cabinet!!!

Installation - Cable... (continued)Category I:• LAN cables (e.g. Ethernet)• Other communication cables

Category II:• Shielded and unshielded cables for DC voltages > 60V and <= 400 V• Shielded and unshielded cables for AC voltages > 25V and <= 400 V

Category III:• Shielded and unshielded cables for DC and AC voltages > 400 V

Category IV:• Signal cables of categories I - III at risk from direct lightning strikes,

e.g., connections between components in different buildings

Installation - T-Connections (Drop/Stub/Spur)Every branch or drop directly from the cable

Stubs to devices cause reflections (additional capacitance)

Repeaters are not spur-lines

Although stub lines can theoretically be tolerated at thelower baud rates, the recommendation is to avoid the use

of stub lines altogether.

3. Insert the end of the cable into the stripper using your left index finger as a limit stop to ensure the correct length is inserted.

1. How to hold the insulationstripper in your right hand.

2. Match up the cable end with the template so that your left index finger is against the end surface of the tool.

6. With the clamp still closed,pull the stripper off the end ofthe cable.

4. Clamp the cable firmly in the stripper.

5. Rotate the stripper aroundthe cable 4 times in thedirection of the arrow.

9. After removing the insulationfrom the cores, the cable canbe fitted into the PB connector.

7. The removed insulationremains in the stripper. Afterreleasing the clamp, theremnants can be removed.

8. Pull the protective foil off thecores.

Copper is not the End of the Road...Plastic, PCF and glass fiber optic available

Plastic - 50m between 2 Optical Link Modules (OLM)PCF - 300m between 2 OLMsGlass - up to 15km between 2 OLMs

Connections via modules or integrated interface

When is Fiber Optic the Choice?Noise immunity & independence from potential differences

Cover longer distances
