The PROFIBUS interface is a 9-way, sub D, plug connector with the following pin assignment.

Pin 1 - Free

Pin 2 - Free

Pin 3 - B line

Pin 4 - Request to send (RTS)

Pin 5 - Ground 5V (M5)

Pin 6 - Potential 5V (floating P5)

Pin 7 - Free

Pin 8 - A line

Pin 9 - Free

The cable shield must be connected to the plug connector housing.

The free pins are described as optional in EN 50170 Vol. 2. If used, they should conform to the specifications in DIN192453.

CAUTION:

The designations A and B of the lines on the plug connector refer to the designations in the RS 485 standard, and not the pin designation of driver ICs.

Keep the cable from driver to connector as short as possible.

Use of higher baud rates )i.e., 3 to 12 Mbaud) requires the use of new plug connectors. These connectors compensate for line interferences on all possible combinations of cables.
