Distributed I/O System DP/ASi Link
EWA 4NEB 710 6055-02b
You can connect either the PROFIBUS-DP or the power supply to the device
connector. The two 12-pin connectors are interconnected internally. Table 4-3
shows the assignment of the 12-pin device connector.

You connect the power supply to the DP/ASi link using the second device
connector. Make sure that the power supply cable is deenergized at the time
of connection.
!
Warning
The DP/ASi link may be destroyed by voltage glitches that may occur while
the connector is being slipped on.
The DP/ASi link starts up automatically when the operating voltage is turned
on.
If you run the supply voltage over the PROFIBUS-DP and do not loop the
PROFIBUS-DP through the DP/ASi link, you must seal the second device
connector with the metal cap or, if necessary, screw on the terminating resis-
tor. Only then is IP 66/IP 67 assured.
