Profile:
FOUNDATION Power Supply/Conditioner
More Information:
ROUTE-MASTER Series 100 Intrinsically-Safe Fieldbus System delivers
isolated and redundant segment power and device connectivity for
FOUNDATION fieldbus (H1) networks. Using a patented split-architecture
design, the system delivers the highest segment current of ANY
intrinsically-safe system for the largest number of devices and/or the
longest segment cable, with cable lengths of up to 1900m (6233ft) trunk
and 120m (393ft) spurs. ROUTE-MASTER provides 350mA of power per segment
in intrinsically-safe applications, which permits up to 16 devices at
500m (1640ft) even in hydrogen-risk areas.
Intrinsically-Safe, Isolated Power Supply
The ROUTE-MASTERs Rack supports up to eight Trunk Isolator Modules, to
supply intrinsically-safe segment power and communications for up to
eight fieldbus segments. Each Trunk Isolator Module provides a
fully-isolated, redundantly-powered, passively-conditioned and
intrinsically-safe trunk for connection into a hazardous area. No I.S.
ground is required. The 350mA segment capacity is the greatest available
for any I.S. configuration, and allows normal segment design rules
without undue restriction. To minimize segment voltage drop, and maximize
the power available in the field, the ROUTE-MASTER can be wired to
provide dual outputs from the same fieldbus segment input.
Industry-First Advantages
Available in 4-, 8-, 10- and 20-spur models, ROUTE-MASTER Active Device
Couplers use the same technology as our industry-first TRUNKGUARD Device
Couplers to provide fully automatic segment termination. The patented
technology prevents fieldbus segment failure from under- or
over-termination, a major problem in fieldbus startups. ROUTE-MASTERs
Active auto-termination feature assures that local parts of a segment
will continue to function if remote parts of that segment are
accidentally disconnected. This prevents costly downtime and hazardous
situations. Other unique features include diagnostic LEDs that positively
indicate power status on each spur, spur short-circuits, status of
auto-termination, as well as convenient connections for a fieldbus
hand-held configurator.
Short Circuit Protection
Upon detection of excess current on a spur, the ROUTE-MASTER reacts
immediately to switch spur current to a nominal trickle-level, rather
than limiting the fault current to a fixed (and always higher) level as
is typically done by competing units. With removal of the short, the spur
is automatically reconnected to the segment.
DIN-Rail and Complete Field-Mount Packages
ROUTE-MASTER Device Couplers snap onto a standard DIN-rail. To reduce
specification and installation time, they can also be ordered in a
variety of our ready-to-install field-mount, weather-proof enclosures
complete with cable glands. Options include GRP (Glass Reinforced
Polyester) and stainless steel enclosures with glands for armored or
unarmored cable.
