Lightning protection for fieldbus networks
Pepperl+Fuchs is introducing the FieldConnex fieldbus surge protector, a lightning current and overvoltage arrester that protects Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus equipment.
Fieldbus protection for hazardous areas
Pepperl+Fuchs is introducing FieldConnex fieldbus segment protectors for hazardous location applications.
The Fieldbus Power Hub consists of a motherboard with single or redundant plug-on modules.
Multiple plug-on modules are available, including: Isolated power module with 30V and 500mA - designed for high power in the field, especially if used with segment protectors or field barriers; isolated FNICO power module with 17V and 500mA - dedicated for FNICO installation if used in conjunction with segment protectors; non-isolated module with host spur protection designed for use with both segment protector and field barrier, while providing additional network segment protection in conjunction with the redundant host cards (if one card short-circuits, the other card and the Fieldbus segment itself will still continue to operate).
The FPH is designed for installation on DIN-rails, and integrates Fieldbus segment connections, their appropriate terminators, as well as host-specific system plug connectors.
The FPH follows the passive design of powering the Fieldbus network, while providing redundant galvanic isolation and host spur protection respectively.
New cross-talk resonance suppression technology ensures proper communication, which is particularly helpful in the event of wiring and ground faults.
