To ensure that the C-BOX functions without errors, the shield of the PROFIBUS
cable must be grounded.
– Ensure that the PROFIBUS connector uses the pin assignments shown in par
2.5.2
– Attach the PROFIBUS connector to the PROFIBUS interface socket on the
C-BOX 3X0 and secure the connector with the retaining screws.
– For C-Box 310 models, it is advised to use up to two ferrites (type Stewart
28A2029-0A0) on the Profibus cable to reduce electrical noise.
