5. Connect the PROFIBUS cable to the adapter, and secure it with the
two screws on the connector. (See
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.
Termination
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
