PROFIBUS Connection
M12 circular connector
The M12 socket is inverse coded, and has five pins. Pin 1 is 5 VDC and 3 is GND for the active termination resistor. These must never be misused for other functions, as this can lead to destruction of the device.
Pin 2 and pin 4 are the PROFIBUS signals. These must never be swapped over, as this will prevent communication. Pin 5 is the shield, and this is capacitatively coupled to the Fieldbus Box chassis.

Pin 6 is 5 VDC und Pin 5 is GND for the active termination resistor. These must never be misused for other functions, as this can lead to destruction of the device.
Pin 3 and pin 8 are the PROFIBUS signals. These must never be swapped over, as this will prevent communication.

Connection of Fieldbus Box modules
The connection of the Fieldbus Box modules is done direct or via a T-piece (or Y-piece).
The B318 series does have a male and female connector, that means no external T-piece is required. The supply voltage (+5VDC) for the termination resistor is only supplied via the female M12 connector. The termination resistor ZS1000-1610 is only available with male connector.
Therefore the incoming PROFIBUS line should end in a female connector.

Two T-pieces are available:
- ZS1031-2600 with +5VDC on male and female connector for the termination resistor
- ZS1031-2610 with +5VDC only on the female connector
