MPI bus cable
The PROFIBUS cable specifications apply here as well. Please note the relevant information
on setting up an MPI network.
Setting up an MPI network
Keep in mind the following basic rules when setting up an MPI network:
● When using the interface as an MPI interface, it is not possible to arrange additional
● An MPI bus line must be terminated at both ends. This is achieved by activating the
● At least one terminator must be supplied with 5 V.
● Spur lines (cables leading from the bus segment to the node) should be as short as
● Every MPI station must be connected to the bus first and then activated.
● Maximum cable lengths:

DIO application

Connecting sensors and actuators
Digital inputs and outputs can be used to connect various sensors and actuators to the two
12-pin connectors (X122 and X132) on the front panel.
The following types of digital I/O are used:
● Digital inputs
● Bidirectional digital inputs/outputs
The assignment of I/Os to functions can be parameterized freely by the user. Special
functions, such as probe inputs (rapid inputs only) and cam outputs, can also be assigned to
the inputs/outputs.

terminating resistor in the MPI connector in the first and last station and deactivating the
other terminating resistors.
This means that an MPI connector with an activated terminating resistor must be
connected to a device that is switched on.
possible, i.e. < 5 m in length. Unused spur lines should be removed wherever possible.
To disconnect the station, it must first be deactivated. Then, the station can be removed
from the bus.
