1.4.5 Spare battery
Intensive use of BC-700-PB during the work day may exhaust the rechargeable battery faster than
expected. In addition charging and discharging will typically wear out the battery pack over the time
(refer to Notes on battery use ). BC-700-PB has an internal energy management. If the measures for
energy saving are not sufficient or are perceived as a disturbance it is recommended operating on the
device in conjunction with an external power supply. Alternatively the user may use a spare
rechargeable battery.

1.4.6 Service interfaces for PROFIBUS DP
1.4.6.1
Connection Type D-sub
The D-sub service interface provides a PROFIBUS access point for testing if the existing D-sub
connectors have no service socket or if the bus stations are connected via a terminal block. The service
interface can power the terminating resistor of the D-sub connector. You can thus use it as an active
bus termination at the beginning or end of the bus.
If the PLC allows dropping and adding bus stations on the live bus, you will need this external bus
termination to be able to exchange the first and last bus stations without causing problems on the bus.
The compact unit is rail mounted like a terminal block and powered by an external 24 VDC power
supply. The package includes an 90° angled PROFIBUS connector with a switchable terminating resistor.
