1. Description
 
SUBCON-PLUS-PROFIB plug with spring-cage connection or 
screw-cage connection for axial cable entry.
The plug allows fast and convenient connection of incoming 
and outgoing bus cables. Its contacts are routed onto clearly 
color labeled spring-cage terminal blocks or screw-cage 
terminal blocks.
The integrated terminal resistor can be connected and 
simultaneously connects/disconnects the outgoing bus cable 
when de/activating. This allows an easy start up of the bus 
system one segment at a time. 
Strain relief and shield bonding are integrated into the two 
housing shells. Mount the upper shell of the housing to build up 
strain relief and shield bonding for the bus cable.
The strain relief is designed for FastConnect bus cables with an 
overall cross section of 8 mm.
 
2. Notes on Connecting
 
The following stripping tools can be used to strip conductors 
quickly and conveniently (Fig.2): 
PSM-STRIP-FC/PROFIB  (Order No.: 27 44 62 3) and 
QUICK-WIREFOX 6 
(Order No.: 12 04 38 4).

2.1.2. Connection
 
Push the stripped conductor into 
the corresponding contacts of 
the terminal block. The 
conductors automatically make 
contact when inserted. 
To disconnect the conductor, it is 
necessary to implement the 
orange disconnect rocker.

3. Bus Terminating  Resistor
3.1. Activating terminating resistor and 
switching off outgoing bus cables:
 
The terminating resistors are activated via the slide switch 
(Fig.1) at the starting and final point of the bus system. At the 
same time the connection points (2A/2B) for the outgoing bus 
cable are switched off. 
 
At all other nodes of the bus system the corresponding 
terminating resistor must be deactivated!
Bus Cable Connection
 
Always connect the incoming bus cable to the connection 
points 1A/1B (also at the starting point of the bus system!). 
The outgoing bus cable is always connected to the connection 
points 2A/2B (see Fig.8).
