Overview

This section describes how to connect the LTMT main unit to an RS 485 PROFIBUS DP network with a sub-D 9 or an open-style connector.

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are forced stop. Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions. System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of anticipated transmission delays or failures of the link. Each implementation of an LTMT main unit must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
