Siemens PROFIBUS Terminal Resistors

Siemens PROFIBUS Terminal Resistors

When transmitting voltage signals over an electrical network, if the impedance at the end of the transmission line suddenly becomes infinite, the voltage signal will cause reflections at that point. The reflected signal superimposes on the normal signal, affecting communication. To eliminate such reflections, a terminal resistor that matches the characteristic impedance of the cable … Read more
