Detailed Explanation of Profibus-DP Termination Resistors: Correct Selection and Installation to Ensure Communication Reliability

Detailed Explanation of Profibus-DP Termination Resistors: Correct Selection and Installation to Ensure Communication Reliability

To build a stable and reliable Profibus-DP network, termination resistors can be considered a “small component with a big role”! Many engineers often overlook their importance, resulting in spending several days troubleshooting inexplicable communication failures, only to find out that it was the termination resistors causing the trouble. Today, we will analyze this seemingly simple … Read more

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

Communication Between S7-300 and Yaskawa Inverter Using Profibus-DP

Communication Between S7-300 and Yaskawa Inverter Using Profibus-DP

In a previous project, I was involved in the communication between the Yaskawa inverter and the S7-300. However, the available materials at night were all about control words and status words to control the inverter’s start and stop, as well as read some basic parameters. What I needed was to modify the inverter’s parameter values … Read more
