6.1 ANALOGUE OUTPUT PORTS
Each analogue output is provided with two terminals for the connection of field wiring.
Each output is a 0-20mA or 4-20mA output. The output compliance is dependent on the
power supply voltage. With a power supply of 12.6 volts the maximum RL (including the
cable)
is 440Ω and if the power supply voltage is at the operating minimum of 7.5 volts the
maximum RL (including the cable)
is 185Ω.

Table 3 Analogue output termination details
The analogue outputs are galvanically isolated from the SILBUS network port; this allows
the SILBUS-RX4A to be used in a variety of special ways that include connecting non-
intrinsically safe signals to the analogue outputs while the receiver is connected to an
intrinsically safe SILBUS network.
6.2 POWER INPUT PORT
The four channel analogue receiver operates from a nominal 12 volt DC supply. The
power supply operating range is from 7.5 volts through to 12.6 volts. The SILBUS-RX4A
consumes less than 12mA from the power supply. The table below shows the power input
port connection details.

6.3 SILBUS NETWORK PORT
The SILBUS network port provides a means for the receiver to be connected to a SILBUS
network. Any connections to a SILBUS field bus network pair should be of a multi-drop
nature with spur lengths kept to a minimum. This will minimize any reflections and therefore
communications errors in the SILBUS network.
