1.3.1 Electrical PROFIBUS cables (part five)

Avoid sharp edges

  1. Sharp edges can lead to PROFIBUS cable damage. For this reason, remove sharp edges and burrs with a file or a triangular scraper. This includes cut edges on cable trays.



  2. Protect edges at the end and corners with edge protection strip.



Considerations after installation

If additional cables are routed, you should ensure that previously laid PROFIBUS cables or other system cables are not overstressed or damaged. This can occur, for example, if the PROFIBUS cables are routed together with other cables on a common cable tray (if the electrical safety permits it). Special care should be exercised when rerouting new cables (for repairs or expansion). Pulling several cables into an existing cable run can damage the previously run cables.
Pull in the PROFIBUS cable last if you are laying it in a cable tray together with other cables.
