Expand your FOUNDATION fieldbus system with our innovative device coupler. Whether you need the flexible expansion of a modular version or the maximum channel density of a device in a block design, we can provide the right fieldbus device coupler for each situation.
Advantage
1.Everything comes from a single source: the complete system architecture is available
2.Modular structure enables tailor-made installation
3.High safety: approved for use in potentially explosive areas up to zone 0
4.The most advanced: with proven electrical reliability and innovation
Reliable field power supply with ACB technology
Use a single-channel or four-channel power supply to reliably power the FOUNDATION fieldbus loop. These devices can be plugged in, which means they can be replaced quickly and flexibly. In addition, due to the symmetrical load of the power supply, ACB technology (Automatic Current Balancing) ensures a significant extension of the equipment life and maximum reliability for process applications.
Integrated diagnostic functions and relay output ensure permanent monitoring.
Advantage:
1.Modular structure to improve system availability
2.Integrated diagnostic function with relay output
3.Longest service life thanks to ACB (Automatic Current Balancing) technology
4.Modular Fieldbus Coupler Series for Foundation Fieldbus
5.Fieldbus coupler: flexibility and modularity in a single range
Modular FOUNDATION Fieldbus device coupler system consists of three main devices: trunk module, coupler module and diagnostic module when needed. The trunk module forms a new fieldbus station. The module offers a variety of shielding options and integrated terminating resistors.
Fieldbus device couplers with one or two outputs have short-circuit protection to protect your network. The supply voltage of the modular system is sub-distributed through a connector that simply snaps onto the DIN rail.
For zone 2 installation, when connecting zone 0, 1 and 2 instruments in the same enclosure, the FB-MODULAR partition can be used to achieve intrinsically safe wiring clearance.
There are two versions of the on-site diagnostic module. One version is used in conjunction with modular DIN rail connectors, so complicated wiring can be saved. The other is equipped with a connection terminal block, through which you can connect other manufacturers' device couplers.
The integration of the control level is carried out through standard H1 communication and device management using DD (Device Description), EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language) and DTM (Device Type Manager).
