Read the manufacturer’s instructions, these instructions may provide important information about the connector design and use. The following description shows the assembly process in general. It does not replace the detailed instruction of the manufacturer.
The typical steps listed below may be followed :
Open the connector.
Strip the PROFIBUS cable insulation.
Ensure that the stripped cable dimensions are correct for the connector you are using.
Strip the insulation from the cores.
Insert the cores in the opened screw terminals. Ensure that a good connection is made between the cable shield and the connector shield. Observe the marking for the incoming and outgoing cables.
Using an appropriately sized screwdriver, screw the terminals to grip the stripped cable cores (observe the torque).
Check the cable shield connection and ensure that there is no contact between the shield and the cores.
Please scroll with your mouse over the display!
Fasten the strain relief clamp.
Close the connector casing.
Ensure that, where provided, the termination switch is correctly set. The termination should be switched on at both ends of the PROFIBUS segment and nowhere else.
To ensure proper transmission and protection from interference, observe the following points:
Route the cores inside the connector without kinking.
The connection between the connector shield and the PROFIBUS cable shield must have a large surface arean.
The cable must not be pinched by the strain relief.
Some connector types have an integrated bus termination with outgoing cable isolation. Additional information about isolating connectors can be found in chapter 2.1. In such cases, always read the manufacturer’s information.
