Laying <strong>PROFINET</strong> cables<br />

1.3.11 Keeping to bending radii<br />

• Keep to the minimum permissible<br />

bending radii. Falling below the<br />

minimum bending radius may<br />

damage the <strong>PROFINET</strong> cable.<br />

Please consult the manufacturer<br />

data sheets <strong>for</strong> bending radii<br />

specifications.<br />

• For a single bend, the bending radius should typically not be smaller than 10<br />

times the cable diameter. If multiple bending (>10 x) is expected, e.g. due to<br />

the connection <strong>and</strong> disconnection of <strong>PROFINET</strong> nodes, a larger bending<br />

radius is required (typically 20 times the cable diameter).<br />

• When laying <strong>PROFINET</strong> cables<br />

they can be subjected to additional<br />

mechanical load caused by<br />

excessive tension. For that reason,<br />

larger bending radii are required<br />

during pulling than in the installed<br />

state. Pulling the <strong>PROFINET</strong> cable<br />

over a quoin can be particularly<br />

dangerous. It is there<strong>for</strong>e advisable<br />

to use guide pulleys.<br />
