THE ENTITY CONCEPT ALLOWS INTERCONNECTION OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPARATUS TO ASSOCIATED APPARATUS NOT
SPECIFICALLY EXAMINED IN SUCH COMBINATION. THE CRITERIA FOR INTERCONNECTION IS THAT THE VOLTAGE (Vmax OR Ui), THE
CURRENT (Imax OR Ii), AND THE POWER (Pmax or Pi) OF THE INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPARATUS MUST BE EQUAL TO OR GREATER
THAN THE VOLTAGE (Voc OR Uo), AND THE CURRENT (Isc OR Io), AND THE POWER(Po) DEFINED BY THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS. IN
ADDITION, THE SUM OF THE MAX UNPROTECTED CAPACITANCE (Ci) AND MAX UNPROTECTED INDUCTANCE (Li), INCLUDING THE
INTERCONNECTING CABLING CAPACITANCE (Ccable) AND CABLING INDUCTANCE (Lcable) MUST BE LESS THAN THE ALLOWABLE
CAPACITANCE (Ca) AND INDUCTANCE (La) DEFINED BY THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS. IF THE ABOVE CRITERIA IS MET, THEN THE
COMBINATION MAY BE CONNECTED.

THE FISCO CONCEPT ALLOWS INTERCONNECTION OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPARATUS TO ASSOCIATED APPARATUS NOT
SPECIFICALLY EXAMINED IN SUCH COMBINATION. THE CRITERIA FOR THE INTERCONNECTION IS THAT THE VOLTAGE (Vmax OR Ui),
CURRENT (Imax OR Ii), AND POWER (Pmax or Pi), WHICH AN INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPARATUS CAN RECEIVE AND REMAIN
INTRINSICALLY SAFE, CONSIDERING FAULTS, MUST BE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE VOLTAGE (Voc OR Uo), CURRENT (Isc OR
Io), AND POWER (Po) LEVELS WHICH CAN BE DELIVERED BY THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS, CONSIDERING FAULTS AND APPLICABLE
FACTORS. IN ADDITION THE MAXIMUM UNPROTECTED CAPACITANCE (Ci) AND INDUCTANCE (Li) OR EACH APPARATUS (OTHER THAN
THE TERMINATION)
CONNECTED TO THE FIELDBUS MUST BE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 5 nF AND 10 uH RESPECTIVELY.
IN EACH SEGMENT ONLY ONE ACTIVE DEVICE, NORMALLY THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS, IS ALLOWED TO PROVIDE THE
NECESSARY ENERGY FOR THE FIELDBUS SYSTEM. THE VOLTAGE (Uo OR Voc OR Vt) OF THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS HAS TO BE
LIMITED TO THE RANGE OF 9 V TO 17.5 VDC. ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THE BUS CABLE HAS TO BE PASSIVE, MEANING
THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PROVIDE ENERGY TO THE SYSTEM, EXCEPT FOR A LEAKAGE CURRENT OF 50 Ua FOR EACH
CONNECTED DEVICE. SEPARATELY POWERED EQUIPMENT NEEDS A GALVANIC ISOLATION TO ASSURE THAT THE INTRINSICALLY
SAFE FIELDBUS CIRCUIT REMAINS PASSIVE.
THE CABLE USED TO CONNECT THE DEVICES NEEDS TO HAVE THE PARAMETERS IN THE FOLLOWING RANGE:
LOOP RESISTANCE R’: 15 TO 150 ohms/km
INDUCTANCE PER UNIT LENGTH L: 0.4 TO 1 mH/km
CAPACITANCE PER UNIT LENGTH C’: 80 TO 200 nF/km
C’ = C’ LINE/LINE + 0.5’ LINE/SCREEN, IF BOTH LINES ARE FLOATING OR
C’ = C’ LINE/LINE + C’ LINE/SCREEN, IF THE SCREEN IS CONNECTED TO ONE LINE.
LENGTH OF SPLICE: < 1 m (T-BOX MUST ONLY CONTAIN TERMINAL CONNECTIONS WITH NO ENERGY STORAGE
CAPABILITY)
LENGTH OF SPUR CABLE: < 30 M
LENGTH OF TRUNK CABLE: < 1 km
AT EACH END OF THE TRUNK CABLE AN APPROVED INFALLIBLE TERMINATION WITH THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS IS SUITABLE:
R = 90 TO 100 ohms AND C = 0 TO 2.2 uF
NOTE, A BUILT-IN TERMINATOR IS INCLUDED IN THE FIELD SIDE AND A SELECTABLE TERMINATOR IS AVAILABLE ON THE HOST SIDE.
THE NUMBER OF PASSIVE DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE BUS SEGMENT IS NOT LIMITED IN THE FISCO CONCEPT FOR INTRINSICALLY
SAFE REASONS. IF THE ABOVE RULES ARE RESPECTED, UP TO A TOTAL LENGTH OF 1000 m (SUM OF THE LENGTH OF THE TRUNK
CABLE AND ALL SPUR CABLES), THE INDUCTANCE AND CAPACITANCE OF THE CABLE WILL NOT IMPAIR THE INTRINSIC SAFETY OF
THE INSTALLATION.
INSTALLATION MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC) AND ANSI/ISA RP12.6.01.
MAXIMUM SAFE AREA VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 250 Vrms.
RESISTANCE BETWEEN INTRINSICALLY SAFE GROUND AND EARTH GROUND MUST BE LESS THE ONE OHM
LOOPS MUST BE CONNECTED ACCORDING TO THE BARRIER MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
IF HAND-HELD COMMUNICATOR OR MULTIPLEXER IS USED, IT MUST BE FM APPROVED WITH ENTITY PARAMETERS AND
INSTALLED PER THE MANUFACTURER’S CONTROL DRAWINGS.
