Wiring bus cables
When wiring PROFIBUS cables, you must not
• twist,
• stretch
• or compress them.
When wiring indoor bus cables, also maintain the following marginal conditions
(d
A
= outer cable diameter):
Table 4-17 Marginal conditions for wiring interior bus cables
Characteristics Condition
Bending radius (one-off) ≥ 80 mm (10 x d
A
)
Bending radius (multiple times) ≥ 160 mm (20 x d
A
)
Permissible temperature range during installation –5 °C to +50 °C
Shelf and stationary operating temperature range –30 °C to +65 °C
