Hello Amir; Here is an answer from the Procentec FAQs: http://www.procentec.com/faq/profibus/index.php How do you terminate devices that have an M12 connector? There are 3 ways to terminate devices that have an M12 connector: - When it has two onboard M12 connectors, put an M12 terminator on the second connector. - When it has one M12 connector, apply a t-connector that holds the termination and the last connector. - When the device has onboard termination, switch it on. The secondsolution seems to be appropriate in your case. Here are 2 (amongsothers) offers from Procentec and Siemens: Procentec’s active terminator: http://www.procentec.com/products/productdisplay.php?SIG=920052 Siemens' active Profibus termination: https://eb.automation.siemens.com/goos/catalog/Pages/ProductData.aspx?nodeID=5000635&catalogRegion=WW&language=en&activetab=product®ionUrl=/#topAnch Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

HelloAmir-T DGND and +5V are mandatory and must be available in the M12 connector PIN assignment (assuming the device complies with the Profibus Standard). Attached is a pic from the free of charge availableProfibus Interconnection Guidline which you can download from: http://www.profibus.com/nc/downloads/downloads/profibus-interconnection-technology/display/ I hope this helps |
