3.1 Linear (bus) Topology
Figure 3-1 Network structure in a linear (bus) optical topology
* If OLM / P22 or OLM / G22 are used, an additional DTE or bus segment
can be connected to Ch 0.
In a linear or bus structure, the single PROFIBUS OLMs are connected by two-fiber cables.
At the beginning and at the end of a line, modules with one optical channel are adequate, in-
between modules with two optical channels are necessary.
If single point-to-point connections are required, they can be implemented with modules with
one optical channel each.
The bus topology can be implemented with and without fiber-optic link monitoring. Fiber-optic
link monitoring is recommended in homogeneous OLM networks (factory default).
Please note that to ensure correct operation, the following conditions must be kept to when
configuring the network:
The parameter MIN TSDR, described in the PROFIBUS standard EN 50170 /2/, must be
set to a value ≥ 11 on all DTEs. This is usually the case but should be checked if
permanent communication problems occur.
Choose bus node addresses as low as possible when configuring your network, to reduce
master timeouts that may occur due to disruptions.
You will find information on changing the setting in the documentation supplied by the
manufacturer of your DTE.
