Connecting the bus connector
Proceed as follows to connect the bus connector:
1. Plug the bus connector into the IsoPROFIBUS interface on the module.
2. Screw the bus connector onto the interface.
3. If the bus connector is located at the start or end of a segment, you must connect the
terminating resistor (switch position "ON").

WARNING
Data exchange on the bus can be interrupted!
A bus segment must always be terminated with the terminating resistor at both ends. This
is not the case, for example, if the last node with a bus connector is de-energized. Because
the bus connector takes its voltage from the station, this terminating resistor is ineffective.
Make sure that the stations at which the terminating resistor is connected are always
energized.
