Permissible cable diameter 8 mm " 0.5 mm
Rules for Laying Cables
When you lay the PROFIBUS-DP bus cable, you should not:
S Twist it,
S Stretch it, or
S Compress it.
Furthermore, when installing the indoor bus cable, you must observe the following
basic conditions (d
A
= outer diameter of the cable):
Characteristics Boundary Conditions
Bending radius for single bend w 80 mm (10 d
A
)
Bending radius for repeated bends w 160 mm (20 d
A
)
Permissible temperature range for installation - 5 _C to + 50 _C
Storage and stationary operating temperature range - 30 _C to + 65 _C
