The connection to the data transmission path must be established via an in line
fuse.
To protect the VAHLE POWERCOM transmission against external disturbances,
such as control signals of the electric power supply companies, a dual filter must
always be installed at the input.
VAHLE POWERCOM units can only operate safely and without problems in an
EMC suitable environment (see also "EMC-suitable installation and configuration
of VAHLE electronic components”).
The cable and devices in the switch cabinet must comply with the relevant regu-
lations and must not be installed together with the electric power cables.
The instructions of the equipment suppliers must be complied with in plants with

Note
At inspections at connection trolleys without data communication it must be se-
cured that electrical lines which are originally used for the data communication
must be disconnected at the connection trolleys and be layed under safety-critical
aspects.

In contrast to the wiring of power rails there should always be a feed point or ter-
mination point at the ends of the data rails. VAHLE POWERCOM® cables should
always be separate from power or other data conductors.
The configuration of the terminating circuit is determined by the length and type
of the conductor rails and feeder cable, and must be determined when designing
the system.

– Make sure that there is sufficient space for connecting the bus and power sup-
ply lines.
– Mount the modules only on a low-resistance low- inductance
– grounded top-hat rail or mounting plate.
Warning
If the supply voltage for the VAHLE POWERCOM® 485 devices and all con-
nected devices is not switched off when installing or removing the devices,
this could lead to fatal accidents, severe injuries and/or material damage.
Before installing or removing the VAHLE POWERCOM® 485 devices, take all ne-
cessary safety precautions and make sure that the supply voltage is switched off.

Mounting a VAHLE
POWERCOM® 485
device on a top-hat-
rail
– screw the top-hat rail onto the mounting plate at intervals of 75 mm.
– Hook the upper latch hook of the module into the top-hat-rail and then press
the underside onto the bus rail until it latches audibly.
– Make sure that the device is securely attachedon the rail.
– To remove it press the device downwards.
Note
In environments subject to strong vibration, it may be necessary to secure the de-
vice on the top-hat rail with grounding terminals to prevent slipping.
Warning
Control systems may fail in unsafe conditions and thus cause uncontrolled
operation of the controlled devices. Such dangerous events can lead to fa-
tal accidents, severe injuries and/or material damage. Therefore provide an

If you wish to know how two different types cable need to be routed, then proceed
as follows:
1. Look up cable type of first cable in column 1 (Cables for ...).
2. Look up cable type of second cable in the associated section of column 2 (and

To calculate the line delay time, multiply the maximum line length in km with the
delay time corresponding to the transmission rate as read from the table.
1. The delay time of the VAHLE POWERCOM® 485 devices is 1.5 bit times.
2. The total transmission delay time is given by the number of modules passed
through from the transmitter of a telegram to the receiver, multiplied by 1.5 bit
times.

3. Please determine the transmission delay times from the respective product do-
cumentation for other active PROFIBUS network components.
4. Transmission Delay Time TTD
The total delay time is the sum of the values determined in 1., 2. and 3.
