8.3 Connection to PROFIBUS DP
There are two ways of connecting to PROFIBUS DP:
Electrical connection via a bus connector
Optical connection using a fiber-optic cable

8.3.1 Bus Connector

Only with 6ES7467-5GJ02-0AB0.
The bus cable is connected to the IM 467 by means of this connector. (See the
detailed description in the chapter on networking in the S7-400/M7-400, Hardware
and Installation manual.)
