Topologies of SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS Networks
2.2.1
Topology with Integrated Optical Interfaces
The optical PROFIBUS network with nodes having an integrated FO interface is
structured as a bus topology. The PROFIBUS nodes are interconnected in pairs
by duplex fiber-optic cables.
Up to 32 PROFIBUS nodes with integrated FO interfaces can be connected in
series in an optical PROFIBUS network. If a PROFIBUS node fails, the bus
topology means that all DP slaves on the side away from the DP master are no
longer obtainable for the DP master.

For short distances, the preassembled 830-1T or 830-2 connecting cables can be
used as an alternative to the PROFIBUS cable.
Transmission Rate
An optical PROFIBUS network with a bus topology can be operated at the
following transmission rates:
9.6 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 45.45 Kbps, 93.75 Kbps, 187.5 Kbps, 500 Kbps, 1.5 Mbps
and 12 Mbps
