To ensure proper signal transmission, PROFIBUS cables must be terminated on deactivated both sides of a PROFIBUS segment by a BUS terminal. In case of the AM1000 the terminating resistor is integrated in the device and can be switched on or off via DIP switch 1. ATTENTION Make sure to avoid accidentally installed terminating resistors.
