Pressure system provides clear readings
The backlit LCD eliminates the need for analogue pressure gauges, as the screen displays information such as flow, pressure and system status.
The system is suited to large fieldbus applications requiring redundancy.
The compact HiD power modules provides very low heat dissipation of less than 2W and can be mounted in any direction.
As a result, HiD users will benefit from maximum mounting flexibility and high packing density High packing density leads to fewer required cabinets and reduced space requirements in the plant.
Standardising on this new modular solution eliminates additional planning, installation and commissioning effort.
Passive impedance generation and well-balanced electric circuit design contributes to strong signal quality, smooth and reliable operation and a long service life.
A choice of motherboards exists to fit any control system, and can be pre-installed using connectors with retaining screws, or tailor-made versions with system plugs of the DCS.
Two power supply modules are load sharing, and can be plug into the motherboard's sockets while the system is energised.
The HiD Power Hub is fully compatible with Pepperl+Fuchs' Advanced Diagnostic Module.
The ADM makes commissioning easy and bridges the gap between manual troubleshooting and automatic diagnosis easy evaluation of Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus installations.
Engineering contractors, commissioning experts, plant operators and maintenance specialists gain visibility into the fieldbus physical layer for faster commissioning work, easy troubleshooting, providing the information needed to shift to condition based maintenance strategies.
