The Profibus Group product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Feb 21, 2007
Profibus guidelines provide information about all standard connector types and connection methods and the various assembly steps are illustrated in the form of text and images.
PI (Profibus and Profinet International) has published an installation guide in three parts to support engineers working on the design, installation and commissioning of Profibus systems.
The first part, Profibus Installation Guideline for Cabling and Assembly has been revised and is now available in its second edition.
The second edition is supplemented by an interactive software package (web-based training), which will run on any PC and tells you everything you need to know about assembly in an easy to understand format.
The web-based training is available as a CD version inside the hard copy of Profibus Installation guideline for Cabling and Assembly or can be downloaded for free from the Profibus group download page.
Profibus Guideline for Cabling and Assembly explains how to assemble Profibus connectors correctly, how to deal with cables and optical fibres and how to cable systems professionally.
The guideline provides information about all standard connector types and connection methods and the various assembly steps are illustrated in the form of text and images.
Illustrations describe how to lay cables correctly and highlight common errors.
Another section deals with shielding, grounding and potential equalisation, as well as providing information about how to avoid damage caused by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge).
Part 2 is also available in hard copy.
This part describes how simple methods can be used to check existing cables.
It presents a variety of checking devices and describes how acceptance tests are carried out.
The guideline provides instructions for creating acceptance reports, step by step commissioning and troubleshooting.
The descriptions of typical signal characteristics provide users with important status information about their systems.
Separate sections deal with Sub-D connectors and four and five-pin M12 connectors as well as optical fibres.
The practical value of the manual is evident in the numerous illustrations, flow charts and checklists.
Both the Cabling and Assembly and the Commissioning installation guidelines have been designed for practical, onsite use.
They are spiral-bound, wipe clean and are printed on heavy-duty paper in A5 format.
