Connection of stations by means of integrated connecting cable with Sub-D plug.
Easy connection of the bus cable by means of terminal block
No interruption of bus if an end user station is missing
Bus termination is possible by means of an integrated combination of terminating resistors.
The following additionally applies to the bus terminal 12M:
Clear location of faulty termination within a segment (incoming and outgoing bus cables are separated when inserting the resistor combination)
If the bus terminal 12M is used in a segment with RS485 bus terminals, the configuration rules of the RS485 bus terminal apply (see Manual for PROFIBUS Networks).
System connection with PROFIBUS bus terminals, e.g. for SIMATIC S7
