PROFIBUS Connector
The PROFIBUS connector is a standard 9-pin D-Sub connector, there
are only 4 pins used in PROFI-25xx module. The pins VP and GND
support the 5 volt power to active terminal resistor, and the A-Line and
B-Line is the data bus.
Receive/Transmit data – plus
Power ground of active terminator
Power 5 volt of active terminator
Receive/Transmit data - minus

It provides three status indicators,

Terminating Resistors
In order to minimize the reflection effect of the signal transmission,
PROFIBUS device has to fit with an active terminal resistor at both first
node and last node. The connection of active terminating resistors is
shown in above circuit diagram. The PROFI-25xx module doesn’t have
any terminating resistors inside. Therefore, users must add the
terminator in external. In general, PROFIBUS connector has terminating
resistors inside, and there is a switch to control the ON/OFF of the
terminating resistors, as shown below.

Dip Switch
Users can set dip switch to get a
better PROFIBUS signal quality in
PROFI-2542(SC) module.

Wire Connections
PROFI-2510
If PROFI-2510 is an end device of PROFIBUS segment 1 and
PROFIBUS segment 2. The terminal resistor of segment 1 is ON.
The terminal resistor of segment 2 is ON.
If PROFI-2510 is an intermediary device of PROFIBUS segment 1.
The terminal resistor of segment 1 is OFF.
