Above is "terminal" wiring diagram. Cable is a standard PROFIBUS cable consisting of a twisted pair 
and shielding layer. The shielded layer of PROFIBUS cable on all nodes is directly grounded. Users 
can choose the best grounding method according to the situation.   
Note: 
1. Make sure that signal lines do not twist when  connecting all stations. Shielded cable should be 
used  when  system  runs  under  high  electromagnetic  interface  environment,  which  can  improve 
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).   
2. If using shielded braided wire and shielding foil, both ends should be connected to ground. Using 
shielding  area  should  be  large  enough  to  maintain  a  good  conductivity.  And  data  lines  must  be 
separated from high-voltage.   
3. Stub line segment should not be used when transmission rate more than 500K bit/s, The plug is 
available on the market which connects directly to data input and output cable. Bus plug connection 
can be on or off at any time without interruption of data communications of other station. 
A.2.7 System configuration 
1. Master station and VFD should be configured so that the master station can communicate with the 
module after correctly installing EC-TX-103 communication card. 
Each  PROFIBUS  subsidiary  station  on  the  PROFIBUS  bus  need  to  have  "device  description 
document" named GSD file which used to describe the characteristics of PROFIBUS -DP devices. 
The software we provided for the user includes VFD related GSD files (device data files) information, 
users can obtain type definition file (GSD) of master machines from local INVT agent.
