The PROFIBUS is connected by means of a 9-pin SUB D socket (X126). The connections
are electrically isolated.

Power supply for teleservice P, + (24 V)
Receive / transmit data N (A/A')
The cables must be connected via PROFIBUS connectors as they contain the necessary
terminating resistors.
The figure below shows suitable PROFIBUS connectors with/without a PG/PC connector.

The bus terminating resistor must be switched on or off depending on its position in the bus,
otherwise the data will not be transmitted properly.
The terminating resistors for the first and last nodes in a line must be switched on; the
resistors must be switched off at all other connectors.
