PROFIBUS – SCANport Adapter

2.2 Cable Requirements

SCANport cables are available in either Male to Male or Male to Female configurations.

Cables of up to 10 meters (33 feet) can be connected from the SCANport device to the

1560-PDP. If a Port Expander is used, the cable length from the master to the Port

Expander must be subtracted from the cable length used to connect the device to the

expander (B1 + C = max 10 meters).

Please verify with the Installation Manual for the A–B device the correct cable

configuration. The following drawing, excerpted from A-B document 1203-5.2, is an

example for a 1305 drive installation.

Generally when selecting a SCANport cable, the Male-Male

configuration will be used. This is true in all cases when

connecting to Ports 2 through 5. If connecting to the HIM port

(Port 1) the Mail-Female cable will be required.
