The PROFIBUS
®
module has two M12-B-coded industrial sockets
– 1x male and 1x female – for connection to the PROFIBUS
®
cable. The pin allocation corresponds to the PROFIBUS
®
standard,
so that standard bus connectors can be used. Please note that
cable connections made with these plugs generally only meet the
requirements for protection against contact and moisture according
to IP 20!
However:
Installation in accordance with IP 65 protection against contact and
moisture is possible, as the M12 industrial socket of the PRO‐
FIBUS
®
module permits this. But the PROFIBUS
®
cable must then
be provided with IP 65-compliant M12 industrial connectors.
Note for achieving IP 65 degree of
protection
