This document specifies the electromechanical components for
RS 485, Fiber Optic and IEC 61158-2 transmission technology.
This guideline is intended primarily for manufacturers of
PROFIBUS field devices and manufacturers of connectors.
The objective of this guideline is to limit the variety of
methods utilized in PROFIBUS connections. Connectors for the
connection of PROFIBUS field devices are to be preferred to
other connection methods because of the advantages for
servicing, commissioning and testing.
