Figure 59  Bus cable length depends on the transmission rate
Pro PROFIBUS Line
(Line = Starts at DP Master and goes to last DP/PA Slave)
•  Approximately 4 to 8 DP segments through the repeater 
(see repeater data sheets)
•  Recommended DP transfer rate 500 to 1500 kBit/s
•  The slowest DP node determines the transfer rate of the 
DP line
•  
0 to 125)
Per PROFIBUS DP segment
•  (Node = Devices with / without PROFIBUS address)
•  Bus termination required at the beginning and end of 
each DP segment!
•  Trunk cable length (LT) see diagram (length dependent 
on transfer rate)
•  
1500 kBit/s!
•  
1500 kBit/s: LS = 0.0”!
•  At 1500 kBit/s and ABB DP cable type A:
 – 
S
maximum 22 DP nodes (= 21.6 ft / (10” + 2” spare))
