7.5.3 Bus cables Only cables according to standard DIN 19245 or EN 50170-2, cable type A,
may be used for Profibus DP wiring.
A maximum of up to 32 Profibus devices may be connected in one segment.
If more devices are to be connected to one Profibus network, several
segments must be connected with repeaters.
The bus cable must be laid at a distance of at least 20 cm from other
cables. It should be laid in a separate, conductive and earthed cable
trunking.
It must be ensured that there are no potential differences between the indi
-
vidual devices on the Profibus (Perform a potential compensation).
