The 9301-FB and 9302-FB Fieldbus barriers are field-mounted wiring hubs that create intrinsically safe spur connections from a non-intrinsically safe trunk, for connection to Foundation Fieldbus H1 or Profibus-PA fieldbus field devices. They may be installed in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous area, with the trunk wiring implemented using suitably protected cable and increased safety (Ex e) connection facilities. Each unit supports four intrinsically safe spurs, which may be connected to FISCO or Entity certified fieldbus devices in a Zone 1 or Zone 0 hazardous area. The spurs are short circuit protected. Each unit includes a switchable terminator.
The 9301-FB Fieldbus Barrier is bus-powered and requires no additional power supply in the field. Typically up to four 9301-FB units may be connected to one hazardous area trunk, allowing up to 16 intrinsically safe fieldbus devices to be supported on the hazardous area segment. When used with a fieldbus host control system, power for the trunk may be provided by the MTL-Relcom FPS Series power supplies in redundant or non-redundant format.
These are available in either glass, or reinforced polyester (GRP) or stainless steel enclosure variants, the 9301-FB offers high chemical and moisture resistance, and is suitable for use in a wide range of corrosive environments.
