PROFIBUS bus connectors up to 12 MBaud

- ZB3100 with connectable terminator

- ZB3101 with connectable terminator and programming interface

Installation instructions

The Profibus connectors ZB3100 and ZB3101 serve to connect Profibus stations on the Profibus.

Besides featuring a module interface, the ZB3101 also has a programming interface for connecting

PG units, for example.

Note:

In a Profibus system, the first and last respective stations on the bus must feature a connectable

terminator. The terminator is activated by the slide switch in the connector.

2. Fitting the bus cable

The bus cable can be routed from above (Figure 5) or from

the side (ZB3100 only, Figure 4) into the connector (Figure

6 shows insertion of the bus cable from the side). Please

follow the steps given below when fitting the bus cable:

1) Open the connector housing by undoing the two housing

screws 1.

2) Undo the two pull relief screws 2.

3) Connect the connecting wires to the corresponding

terminals (in doing so, always assign the corresponding

wire pairs to one connection terminal, e.g. black wire of

cable 1 and black wire of cable 2 is connected to the 2 A

sockets). To open the terminal contacts, press into the

corresponding opening 3 from above with a screwdriver.

4) Press the two cables in to the pull relief guide 4 and

screw the two pull relief halves together (pay attention to

good screen contact).

5) Make sure that the slide switch 5 for the terminators is in

the right position (see above).

6) Firmly screw down the cover again.
