Choosing and Installing Termination Resistors for Long-Distance Profibus-DP Buses

Choosing and Installing Termination Resistors for Long-Distance Profibus-DP Buses

In a Profibus-DP network, the bus length is one of the key factors affecting system stability. As the bus length increases, signal attenuation, delay, and interference also increase, which changes the requirements for termination resistors. Today, we will discuss in detail how to correctly choose and install termination resistors for different lengths of Profibus-DP buses. … Read more
