Working Principle
The module intercepts the fieldbus communication signals and electrically isolates the field wiring from the control system wiring using internal isolation barriers, allowing data to pass while blocking harmful voltage spikes and noise.
Installation Requirements
Must be installed in a grounded control cabinet. Field and system cables should be routed separately to maintain the integrity of the isolation barrier.
Usage Precautions
Always verify the wiring polarity before applying power. Ensure the isolation rating is not exceeded by field-side transients.
