2.1.4 Connection Cables
The Fieldbus kit of the Soft-Starter SSW-06 Profibus DP has a special connection cable. One end of this cable
has a 6 wire plug-in connector that must be connected to the communication board. The other end has a
female DB9 connector that must be connected to the Profibus DP bus. The pin locations of these connectors
are as shown in table below.
