Pro PROFIBUS Line
(Line = Starts at DP Master and goes to last DP/PA Slave)
• Approximately 4 to 8 DP segments through the repeater (see
repeater data sheets)
• Recommended DP transfer rate 500 to 1500 kBit/s
• The slowest DP node determines the transfer rate of the DP
line
• Number of PROFIBUS DP and PA nodes ≤ 126 (addresses
0 to 125)
Per PROFIBUS DP segment
• Number of DP nodes ≤ 32
(Node = Devices with / without PROFIBUS address)
• Bus termination required at the beginning and end of each
DP segment!
• Trunk cable length (L ) see diagram (length dependent on
T
transfer rate)
• Cable length of at least 1 m between two DP nodes at
≥ 1500 kBit/s!
• Spur cable length (L ), at ≤ 1500 kBit/s: LS ≤ 0.25 m,
S
at > 1500 kBit/s: LS = 0.00 m!
• At 1500 kBit/s and ABB DP cable type A:
– Sum of all spur cable lengths (L
length (L ) > 6.60 m, total length = L
