1.4 Optional accessories
1.4.1 D-sub adapter cable for testing live systems
This D-sub adapter cable is optimized for reduced influence on live PROFIBUS DP segment operation.
Thereby it is most suitable for testing of running plants. The risk of critical influences on bus operation
which can cause a plant standstill is significantly reduced.
Note
Using this cable it is not possible to use both active functions master simulator and topology
detection (see Master simulator and topology scan ).
