Effective grounding and equipotential bonding are very important for the interference immunity of PROFIBUS
networks. Grounding and bonding is thus primarily to ensure correct functioning of PROFIBUS, and not for safety
reasons. Proper grounding of the cable shield ensures that electrostatic interference is reduced, so minimizing
pickup. Equipotential bonding ensures that the ground or earth potential is the same across the network. This, in
turn, prevents ground currents flowing through the PROFIBUS cable shield. The following information provides
general guidance for the installation of grounding and equipotential bonding.
At the PROFIBUS station
Connect the PROFIBUS cable shield to the equipotential bonding at every PROFIBUS station.
The PROFIBUS connector, where used, provides connection for the cable shield. However, this requires a properly
made the shield connection in the connector.
