6.9.2  Setting the terminating resistor on the bus connector 
Bus connector: Plugging it into module 
1.  Plug the wired bus connector into the module. 
2.  Screw-tighten the bus connector on the module. 
3.  If the bus connector is located at the beginning or end of a segment, you must enable the 
terminating resistor (switch setting "ON"; see the following figure). 
 
 
 
Note 
6ES7 972-0BA30-0XA0 bus connectors are not equipped with a terminating resistor. You 
cannot insert this type of bus connector at the beginning or end of a segment. 
 
Please make sure during startup and normal operation that power is always supplied to 
nodes where the terminating resistor is active.
