Figure 64: Bus cable length depends on the transmission rate
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
T
(length dependent on transfer rate)
•
Cable length of at least 1 m between two DP nodes at
