Rules For The Laying Of Profibus Cables - Siemens NCU 7x0.3 PN Series Manual

Terminating resistor
A cable must be terminated with its own surge impedance to prevent line disturbances
caused by reflections. Activate the terminating resistor at the first and last node on a subnet
or segment. The control unit must be either the first or the last node on the subnet.
Make sure that the stations to which the terminating resistor is connected are always
supplied with voltage during power-up and operation.

Rules for the laying of PROFIBUS cables

Laying of bus cables
During laying of the PROFIBUS cable, you must avoid:
● twisting
● stretching and
● squeezing
Supplementary conditions
During laying of the indoor bus cable, you must also consider the following supplementary
conditions (d
