The PROFIBUS interface is a 9-way, sub D, plug connector with the
following pin assignment.
Pin 1 - Free
Pin 2 - Free
Pin 3 - B line
Pin 4 - Request to send (RTS)
Pin 5 - Ground 5V (M 5 )
Pin 6 - Potential 5V (floating P5 )
Pin 7 - Free
Pin 8 - A line
Pin 9 - Free
The cable shield must be connected to the plug connector housing.
The free pins are described as optional in IEC 61158-2.
CAUTION:
The pin names A and B on the plug connector refer to the signal names in
