1 GENERALPRODUCTINFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual will explain how to install a Bronkhorst1 instrument to

your PROFIBUS DP system. It only contains information which is
neededmost.

More detailed information about PROFIBUS can be

obtained on the website of the (international)
PROFIBUS organization: www.profibus.com or on
the website of the (local) PROFIBUS organization of
yourcountry(whenavailable).

2.3 PROFIBUSDPCABLES

PROFIBUS cables are shielded twistedpair copper cables which differ from each other in the type of wire
(fixed/flexible) and/or sheath. The two inner cores of a PROFIBUS cable have green and red insulation. The
specifications in this chapter are primarily intended to provide a general introduction and describe the cable
propertiestobeconsidered(seealsoIEC6178453).

The cables for PROFIBUS DP are assigned to categories, the socalled line types, which define specific physical
parameters.TheindividuallinetypesareidentifiedbythecapitallettersA,B,CandD.Whenplanninganetworkyou
