Terminating Resistor
To reduce reflections of communication signal, terminating resistors should be attached on
both ends of each segment. Attach the terminating resistor as shown below.

Some commercially available PROFIBUS 9-pin D-Sub connectors have functions of
terminating resistor and they can enable/disable the terminating resistors. (Example:
Woodhead MA9D00-32)
Molded terminating resistors with connector that can be attached to environment-resistant
M12 connector are also available.
