The PROFIBUS connector is a standard 9-pin D-Sub connector, there are only 4 pins used in PROFI-8455. The pins VP and GND support the 5 volt power to active terminal resistor, and the A-Line and B-Line is the data bus.
Status Indicator PROFI-8455 provide three types of status indicators, they are PWR LED (yellow), ERR LED (red) and RUN LED (green). Status Indicator Meaning Recommend solution ERR ON & PROFI-8455 is offline Check the address setting of RUN OFF with no valid baud rate PROFI-8455 and DP-master.
PROFIBUS device has to fit with an active terminal resistor at both first node and last node. The connection of active terminating resistors is shown in above circuit diagram. The PROFI-8455 doesn’ t have any terminating resistors inside. Therefore, users must add the terminator in external. In...
