Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage
to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices
referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to
the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.

Security information
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary
to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security
concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to
an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. rewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed
under
https://www.siemens.com/cert (https://www.siemens.com/cert).
Device defective
If a fault develops, send the device to your SIEMENS representative for repair. Repairs on-site are
not possible.
Recycling and disposal
The products are low in pollutants, can be recycled and meet the requirements of the WEEE
directive 2012/19/EU for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment.
Do not dispose of the products at public disposal sites.
For environmentally friendly recycling and the disposal of your old device contact a certied
disposal company for electronic scrap or your Siemens contact (Product return (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109479891)).

Introduction 1
1.1 Included in shipment
• 12M bus terminal order no. 6GK1 500-0AA10
1.2 Description of the product
Function
The 12M bus terminal is used to attach data terminal equipment (DTE) with an RS-485 interface
to a bus cable.
Note
A maximum of 32 12M bus terminals can be connected to one bus segment.
If other components, such as repeaters are connected to a bus segment, this reduces the
maximum number of 12M bus terminals that can be connected.
Operator controls
The bus terminal consists of the following elements and controls:
• 1 terminal block with 6 terminals for wires with a cross-sectional area of ≤ 1.5 mm2
With this terminal block you can connect the incoming and outgoing bus cable and, if
necessary, Protective Earth (PE).
• Screw down clamps for shield contact
12M bus terminal
Operating Instructions, 06/2022, C79000-G8976-C333-02 7
• 2 switches:
– right-hand switch ("Termination")
With the right-hand switch, you can terminate the end of an incoming, electrical segment
(A1, B1) with the characteristic impedance (switch on). At the same time, the outgoing,
electrical segment (A2, B2) is interrupted.
– left-hand switch
With the left-hand switch you can set the range of the transmission speed 9.6 kbps... 1.5
Mbps and 3 Mbps...12 Mbps.
• A 1.5 m long spur line with a 9-pin D-sub male connector
You can connect a DTE directly to this spur line.

Terminal block
The following is recommended for PROFIBUS:
• Terminal A - green wire
• Terminal B - red wire
Termination
Activate the termination on the rst and last node of the bus segment.
If termination is activated (termination on), the connection between the incoming (A1, B1) and
outgoing (A2, B2) segment is interrupted. If the wrong bus terminating resistors are activated,
it is no longer possible to access stations downstream from the bus terminal. When a segment
is put into operation, there must therefore be no bus terminating resistors activated that are not
located at the start or end of the network.

D-sub male connector
The D-sub male connector is plugged into the D-sub female connector of the DTE and secured
by screws. The 12M bus terminal requires a current of 90 mA with a voltage of 5 V supplied by
the DTE between pins 5 (M5) and 6 (P5) of the D-sub male connector.

Casing PE Protective earth, connected to the cable shield
D-sub male connector pinout
The impedance of the PROFIBUS interface when receiving must be ≥ 10 kilohms (according to
the EIA standard RS-485). The spur line must not be terminated.
Segment length and transmission speed
Transmission speed maximum segment length
9.6 - 187.6 kbps 800 m
500 kbps 400 m
1.5 Mbps 200 m
3 - 12 Mbps 100 m
Permitted segment lengths
Bus cable for PROFIBUS, standard type (see catalog IK PI).
Note
Restriction when using the 12M bus terminal at 500 kbps
This restriction only aects segments longer than 80 m.
If the 12M bus terminal is used at a transmission rate of 500 kbps along with several RS-485 bus
terminals with a spur line length of 3.0 m, a minimum distance of 5 m of PROFIBUS cable must
be maintained between two RS-485 bus terminals.
You can locate 12M bus terminals anywhere in the segment; there is no minimum distance
between them that needs to be kept to. You can also arrange a 12M bus terminal between two
RS-485 bus terminals with 3.0 m spur lines if you make sure that the PROFIBUS cable between
two RS-485 bus terminals has a total length of at least 5 m.
