A P-NET device is connected to the fieldbus by means of 3 terminal connections, the A ter-
minal, the B terminal and the S terminal.
The connection from one device to the next unit is performed by connecting A to A, B to B
and S to S. The S terminal must not be connected to ground. If the length of the cable is
more than 100 m, the bus cable will have to be connected from field device to field device,
forming a physical ring.
