Lengths of Spur Lines
If you do not fit the bus cable directly at the bus connector (for example, when
using a PROFIBUS-DP bus terminal), you must take into account the maximum
possible spur line length.
The following table gives the maximum lengths of spur lines allowed per bus
segment:
Upward of 3 Mbps use PG connecting cable, order no. 6ES7 901-4BD00-0XA0, to
connect the programming device or PC. You can use two or more PG connecting
cables with this order number in one bus configuration. Different spur lines are not
allowed.
