PROFIBUS Communications Module

Step 5.

Connect the PROFIBUS cable to the module, and secure
it with the two screws on the connector. (See figure 3.5.)

Note: The screws on some connectors tie the PROFIBUS
cable ground/shield to the metal of the socket. In some
cases, PROFIBUS will not operate correctly without this
connector.

Terminating the Network

The first and last node on the PROFIBUS network needs to be
terminated by using a PROFIBUS connector with terminating
resistors.

Some connector manufacturers offer standard terminating
connectors, such as the yellow ERNI PROFIBUS termination
vertical connector (Part # 103659). Standard PROFIBUS node
connectors, such as the Phoenix Subcon Plus M1 (Part #2761826),
can be configured as a terminating connector by adding resistors
(see figure 3.4.)
