Zone 2 Ex i Field Device Coupler 8 Spurs
Series 9411/24
4.1
Function
Application range
The field device coupler is used for connecting up to eight intrinsically safe field devices
to a non-intrinsically safe trunk.
For this, the trunk and spurs are galvanically isolated.
If the coupler is used in a hazardous area, it must be installed in an enclosure approved
for this area.
Intended use
The devices can be used as intended:
• For all fieldbuses with an IEC 61158-2 physical layer, e.g. Foundation Fieldbus H1 and
Profibus PA.
• For non-intrinsically safe trunks, Ex nA connections.
• For intrinsically safe spurs (Ex i and FISCO) to connect intrinsically safe field devices.
