Cable specifications for PROFIBUS

4.1.1

PROFIBUS-DP cable specifications

Two types of cable are specified for the bus line in the EN 50 170 standard. Cable type
A can be used for all transmission rates up to 12 Mbit/s. The cable parameters can be
taken from the following table:
Cable type A
Characteristic 135... 165
impedance
Cable capacitance <30 pF/m
Wire size >0.34 mm
Cable type Twisted pairs, 1 x 2, 2 x 2 or 1 x 4 conductors
Loop resistance 110
Signal attenuation Max. 9 dB over the entire length of the line segment
Shielding Copper braided shield or braided shield and foil screen
When setting up the bus, observe the following points:
x The maximum line length (segment length) of a PROFIBUS-DP system depends on
the transmission rate. With PROFIBUS-RS 485 cable type A, this value is:
Transmission rate [kBit/s]
Cable length [m]
x A maximum of 32 stations are permitted per segment.
x Each segment is terminated at both ends with a terminating resistor.
x The bus length or number of users can be increased by installing a repeater.
x The first and last segments can support a max. of 31 devices. The segment between
repeaters can support a max. of 30 stations.
x The maximum distance achievable between two bus users is calculated as:
(NUM_REP + 1) x segment length
NUM_REP = maximum number of repeaters, which can be placed in series,
depending on the respective repeater.
Example:
According to the manufacturer's information, a maximum of 9 repeaters may be
placed in series on a standard segment.
The maximum distance between two bus users at a transmission rate of 1.5 MBit/s is
calculated as: (9 + 1) x 200 m = 2000 m
