- Power Requirements: Backplane powered, 24 VDC nominal via 200 Series baseplate
Material Composition
Features a rugged extruded aluminum enclosure with enhanced internal creepage and clearance distances on the PCB to safely handle 48Vdc inputs.
Structural Characteristics
Standard 200 Series FBM form factor. Utilizes a dedicated Terminal Assembly (TA) rated for 48Vdc to ensure safe and organized field wiring.
Working Principle
Incoming 48Vdc signals are routed through the TA and conditioned via high-voltage optical isolators. The module converts these signals to digital logic, multiplexes the data, and transmits it to the controller over the redundant fieldbus.
Installation Requirements
Install on a compatible 200 Series baseplate. Strict adherence to 48Vdc wiring standards is mandatory. Maintain safe clearance between 48Vdc field wires and low-voltage signal wires.
Usage Precautions
Verify that the field voltage does not exceed the 48Vdc maximum rating. Always verify zero energy state before handling field wiring. Ensure the correct 48Vdc-rated TA is used to prevent electrical arcing or module damage.
