Product description:

 

The Segment Protector connects 4 to 12 instruments to the segment and provides many remarkable functions that enable easy installation with two different methods of ignition protection:

  • device connections with intrinsic safety (Ex ic) for instruments in Zone 2/Div. 2
  • device connections with increased safety (Ex ec) for instruments in Zone 1/Div. 1

 

The Segment Protector is designed for a very long service life. The superior fault detection system suppresses or alarms typical fieldbus faults. The control system receives diagnostic information enabling intervention through pro-active planning. This ensures high availability of the fieldbus segment and thus the process automation system.

  • Integrated fieldbus terminator features a high-availability design
  • T-connector at the trunk for easy installation and flexible maintenance
  • LEDs for power, communication, diagnostics, and error
  • Short-circuit, jabber, and bounce protection isolates most fault conditions
  • Short-circuit limit is adjustable for maximum load with Ex ic for gas groups IIB and IIC

 

Segment Protector fieldbus junction boxes are configurable with many options selectable:

  • enclosure types: glass fiber reinforced polyester, stainless steel, aluminum
  • up to 24 device connections or spurs
  • bus termination
  • cable glands
  • grounding bar
  • surge protection
  • water ingress detection
