Testing the PROFIBUS bus cable and bus connectors
The measurements described below allow you to test an installed network and
eliminate the most common errors, such as reversal of the cable polarity, open or
short circuits of data cables or shield and incorrectly connected terminating
resistors. The measurements should be carried out for each bus segment after
installing the PROFIBUS cables and attaching the bus connectors.
