Turck’s innovative new JRBS family of junction bricks for Foundation Fieldbus provide quick and easy connection of multiple devices to the main fieldbus trunk. The junction bricks are available with 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 ports and feature removable terminals for simple, efficient installation and wiring modification in tight spaces. These terminals are located on both sides of the brick to enable easy access for wiring from either direction, and the secure mounting arrangement eliminates the risk of disconnection in high vibration environments. Additionally, JRBS junction bricks can be DIN-mounted vertically or horizontally.
The easy-to-use range provides installation and wiring convenience
The terminals provide short circuit protection for all ports, as well as visual status with bright LED indicators located on each spur. This allows devices to be added and removed without disruption to the network. An optional over-moulded, pluggable terminating resistor is also available for use with the three-pole terminal blocks.
“Turck has significant experience developing fieldbus technology for industrial networks,” said Robb Black, vice-president of Turck’s Network and Interface Division. “Our experience has allowed us to evaluate our customers’ specific needs for each of these networks. The JRBS junction brick was designed to meet customer demands in an easy-to-engineer package.” Black adds, “JRBS junction bricks simplify installation while utilising our proven circuit design installed in thousands of Turck junction bricks currently in the field.”
IP20 JRBS junction bricks deliver a reliable, network-enabled solution for remote I/O systems in numerous industries, including:
* Oil and gas.
* Petrochemical.
* Power generation and distribution.
* Pharmaceutical.
* Water processing and management.
In addition, several features of the JRBS junction brick make it particularly simple to set-up and use:
* Delivers a complete Foundation Fieldbus solution from field devices to control systems.
* Available in 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 port models.
* Features removable terminals for easier access and wiring in confined areas.
* Offers simple vertical or horizontal DIN-rail mounting configuration.
* Pluggable terminating resistor available.
* Incorporates short circuit protection with LED indication on each spur.
* IP20-rated housing.
* Offers cage-clamp or screw terminals.
* Hazardous location approvals permit installation in a variety of configurations.
