Profibus-DP Connectors
The Unidrive Profibus-DP interface has two 9-way D-type sockets (A
and B) to connect to the Profibus-DP network. Connectors C and D are
the RS232 programming port (C) and RS485 general-purpose
communications port (D) of the UD70.
The Profibus-DP connectors are parallel connectors, so either
connector can be used. The pin -out connections are identical, and are
given in the table below.

Profibus-DP Data Connections
Specifically designed connectors are available for use on Profibus-DP

terminals, and plug directly into a 9-way Profibus-DP D-type connector.
A screen clamp is also included to ensure good screen continuity and
provide the best possible immunity to noise.
recommends that a suitable connector should be used to connect the
Unidrive Profibus-DP interface to a Profibus-DP network.
