2.1.3
Description of the hardware
The HART multiplexer can operate up to 256 analogue transmitters. The built-in slave unit operates the first
16 loops, and a maximum of a further 15 KFD0-HMS-16 slaves can be connected.
The external connections are shown in Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2.
The power supply (2 4 VDC nominal voltage) is provided via the power rail or terminals 17 and18. The op-
tional slave units or the RPI control module are connected with the master via a 14-core flat cable (K-HM14).
Its connector is placed on the same housing side as the terminals for the R S485 interface and the voltage
supply. The analogue signals for each unit are connected separately via a 26-core cable. 16 leads are pro-
vided for the HART signals of the analogue instrument circuits, the other 10 are connected to ground. The
minimum load resistance of the analogue instrument circuits is 2 30
Ω
(min. load resistance in accordance
with the HART specification), the max. load resistance is 5 0 0
Ω
. Load resistances of up to 1000
Ω
are pos-
sible, however, resistance values greater than 500
Ω
can interfere with the HART communication. The con-
nector for these connections is located on the top of the housing. A process control system or a PC can be
connected via a RS485 interface (terminals 13, 14 and 15). Up to 31 KFD2-HMM-16 can be operated on
one RS 485 interface. Terminals 19, 20 and 21 can be used to connect additional stations to the R S485
interface. The DIP-switch on the housing front is for the setting of the R S485 address and the baud rate.
The complete product family is described in the Fuchs product catalogues.
Please refer to the ordering instructions detailed in the catalogues.
