New FieldConnexâ„¢ Fieldbus Segment Protectors for Hazardous Location Applications
TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces FieldConnex™ Fieldbus Segment Protectors for hazardous location applications. FieldConnex Segment Protectors facilitate the efficient connection of field devices of diverse explosion protection methods, and feature integrated short-circuit protection for maximum plant availability and production. These segment protectors are DIN rail-mountable or can be mounted in a cabinet.
These segment protectors can be mounted in Class I, Div. 1/Zone 1 locations for the connection of explosion proof/Eex d field devices. Other models can be located in Class I, Div. 2/Zone 2, and when used with an appropriate Fieldbus power supply, they allow the connection of all Div. 2/Zone 2 certified field devices, as well as intrinsically safe and explosion proof/Eex d protected devices. The latter can be located in Div. 1/Zone 1.
These Fieldbus distributors branch the trunk line of PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus out to 12 spurs. Each spur is individually short-circuit current limited such that a short-circuit at any one spur does not negatively influence the communication of the remaining Fieldbus segment. Fault conditions are indicated on each spur via LED status indicators.
