Network Topology

A PROFIBUS-DP network may have up to 127 stations (address 0-126), however address 126 is reserved for commissioning purposes. The bus system must be sub-divided into individual segments to handle this many participants. These segments are linked by repeaters. The function of a repeater is to condition the serial signal to allow connection of segments. In practice, both regenerating and non-regenerating repeaters may be used. Regenerating repeaters actually condition the signal to allow increased range of the bus. Up to 32 stations are allowed per segment and the repeater counts as a station address.

A specialized “link” segment consisting only of optical fiber modem repeaters may be used to span long distances. Plastic fiber optic segments are typically 50 meters or less while glass fiber, optic segments may extend several kilometers.

The user assigns a unique PROFIBUS station address to identify each master, slave, or repeater in the entire network. Each participant on the bus must have a unique station address.
