C-BOX 300/310

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.
