Network Topology
PROFIBUS uses linear bus architecture with active bus termination at both ends. Devices
in a PROFIBUS network connect directly to the bus cable or indirectly via stub lines.

Sample PROFIBUS Network
A PROFIBUS-DP network may have up to 125 slave stations (addresses 0-125 are valid
addresses). The Master must consume one of the valid addresses to create a PROFIBUS
system. The bus system must be sub-divided into individual segments to handle this many
participants. These segments are linked by repeaters, which condition the serial signal to
allow connection of segments. In practice, both regenerating and non-regenerating
repeaters may be used. Regenerating repeaters condition the signal to allow increased
range of the bus. Up to 32 stations are allowed per segment and the repeater counts as a
station address.
A specialized “link” segment consisting only of optical fiber modem repeaters may be used
to span long distances. Plastic fiber optic segments are typically 50 meters or less while
glass fiber; optic segments may extend several kilometers.
The user assigns a unique PROFIBUS station address to identify each master, slave, or
repeater in the network. Each participant on the bus must have a unique station address.
