PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. Haid-und-Neu-Str. 776131 Karlsruhe. GermanyThere are already a large number of documents available for PROFIBUS. So why is the Installation Guideline for Cabling and Assembly being added now? The answer is very simple: The existing documents have been created at different times and therefore feature a different structure. In addition, they contain extensive specifications directed at PROFIBUS device developers. This information is not required for users and can be more confusing than helpful.
As the name indicates, the Installation Guideline for Cabling and Assembly is intended to provide information on how to properly install PROFIBUS wiring and to provide practical guidance on the best ways to achieve this. The presentation of information in this document has been kept as simple as possible. Accordingly, background knowledge about PROFIBUS mounting and cabling is not required. However, a basic technical knowledge of electrical installation is assumed.
