Connecting the PROFIBUS Cable
Connect the PROFIBUS LAN cable to the PROFIBUS terminator, as follows:
1. Cut the PROFIBUS cable to the required length.
2. Strip the insulation from the PROFIBUS cable as shown in Figure 5-10.
The braid shield must be folded back on to the cable. Only then can the shield
clamp serve as strain relief and as the shield contact.

3. Connect the PROFIBUS LAN cable to the PROFIBUS terminator:
Connect the same wires (green/red for the PROFIBUS LAN cable) to the same
terminal A or B (in other words always connect terminal A with a green wire and
terminal B with a red wire or vice versa).
4. Tighten the shield clamps so that the shield makes good contact with the clamp.
Note
When installing the segment, make sure that no terminating resistor is activated
on the bus connectors if the two PROFIBUS terminators are included in the
PROFIBUS segment.
