7.9.4 Rules for the laying of PROFIBUS cables
Laying of bus cables
During laying of the PROFIBUS cable, you must avoid:
• twisting
• stretching and
• squeezing
Supplementary conditions
During laying of the indoor bus cable, you must also consider the following supplementary
conditions (d
O
= outer diameter of the cable):
Table 7-23 Supplementary conditions for the laying of PROFIBUS cables
Features Supplementary conditions
Bending radius for a single bend 80 mm (10xd
O
)
Bending radius (multiple times) 160 mm (20xd
O
)
Permissible temperature range for cable routing -5 °C to +50°C
Temperature range for storage and stationary operation -30°C to +65°C
