[Support] Profibus Communication Basic Questions
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 8:13 am
Hello,
I am using Profibus for the first time, previously mostly worked on ModBus.
Need to establish communication between TeSys-t (Motor Management Relay) & Profibus Remote Master (i.e. TCSEGPA23F14F) via Profibus DP.
I have the following quires, If anyone can help me out.
1) I have DB9 Female connector in both devices, what are standard pin-out for Profibus Communication.
2) Is it possible to connect devices directly via DB9 Male Connector, or I need specific Siemens Connector.
3) What are the recommended number of devices in each loop, Profibus Remote Master is supporting upto 125 in the configuration.
4) What are the limitations of Profibus?
5) Can I have multiple masters on a Profibus Network?
Hope I will get the answers of all above questions.
Regards,
Farhan Ali
