Chapter 4 Non-Incendive Fieldbus Applications
This chapter provides information about fieldbus applications that provide NonIncendive (NI) power to fieldbus devices located in hazardous areas.
The Pepperl+Fuchs FieldConnex® Fieldbus Power Hub and FieldConnex®
Segment Protector provide Non-Incendive power for Non-Incendive applications.
Refer to the Pepperl+Fuchs documentation and/or visit the DeltaV website
(www.easydeltav.com) and follow the links for additional information on these
products.
Ensure that the fieldbus devices and all components used in the application are rated
and certified for Non-Incendive applications.
Warning In any hazardous area installation it is important to read and follow the device
manufacturer's design and installation documents. Failure to follow the
documentation could result in an unapproved and unsafe application.
Additionally, in hazardous locations follow your plant's procedures for making
the area safe during installation and maintenance operations.
DC Power Considerations for Non-Incendive Applications
The basic NI application uses the Fieldbus Power Hub with the FBPS-1.23.500
Isolated Power Supply Module to provide power for field devices connected through
one or more Segment Protectors. Other options are available for NI applications:
When all devices are certified for NI applications and rated at 32 volts or above,
the FBPS-1.500 Power Supply Module can be substituted for 21 volts. This allows
for the longer trunk lengths indicated in “High Availability Fieldbus
Applications” on page 27.
When all devices are certified for FNICO (Fieldbus Non-Incendive COncept)
Non-Incendive applications and rated at 17.5 volts or above, the FBPS-1.17.500
Power Supply Module can be substituted for 21 volts. This allows for shorter
trunk lengths.
An application using the Fieldbus Power Hub and Segment Protector offers nonincendive field wiring outputs to the devices. Therefore, live maintenance at the field
device is possible.
Non-Incendive Fieldbus Applications 57
The available power to a field device depends on the length and resistance
characteristics of the fieldbus cable. The formula for the calculations in Table 7 on
page 59, which shows the maximum distance for a given load on the Fieldbus Power
Hub, are based on the following assumptions:
Power Supply Voltage = 21.0 VDC @ 500 mA
Each device is certified Non-Incendive at 24 VDC or greater
Minimum Device Voltage = 9 VDC (Calculations use 9.5 VDC)
Maximum Voltage drop from cable = 11.5VDC
Maximum Voltage drop from Segment Protector = 1.0 VDC
Each device has an average load of 20 mA
Each device is connected on a 10 meter maximum spur cable
Each spur has a maximum of one device connected.
Fieldbus Type A 18 AWG cable @ 22 ohms/km (44 ohms/km loop resistance) at
22
°C
Devices are connected on one end of the cable and the Fieldbus Power Hub is
connected on the other end of the cable
Maximum Distance (km) = (Allowed Loop V drop / Loop current) / Loop
resistance per km
There will be different restrictions and limitations on your segment if these
assumptions do not hold for your segment layout. If your devices average more than
20 mA per device, reduce the maximum cable length indicated in the table for that
number of devices or reduce the number of devices on the segment. Refer to the
device documentation for information on current requirements for the device.
When referring to Table 7, remember that the Series 2 H1 card requires 12 mA of
fieldbus power in simplex mode and an additional 12 mA of fieldbus power (24 mA
total) in redundant mode. The distance associated with the segment protector
accounts for the possibility of a short on a spur which would increase the current on
the trunk and also reduce the voltage to the other devices.

Fieldbus Power Hub
Use the Fieldbus Power Hub with the FBPS-1.23.500 Isolated Power Supply Module
and the Segment Protector for NI applications. Refer to “Pepperl+Fuchs Fieldbus
Power Hub for Redundant Fieldbus Power” on page 39 for information on the
Fieldbus Power Hub system. Table 7 provides specifications for the Fieldbus Power
Hub with the Isolated Power Supply Module.

Short Circuit Protection with Segment Protectors
Refer to“Short Circuit Protection with Segment Protectors” on page 44
Installing and Connecting the Fieldbus Power Hub
Follow the instructions in “Installing and Connecting the Fieldbus Power Hub” on
page 46. Be sure to use the FBPS-1.23.500 Power Supply Modules rather than the
FBPS-1.500.
Installing and Connecting the Fieldbus Segment Protector
Follow the instructions in “Installing and Connecting the Fieldbus Segment
Protector” on page 47.

Non-Incendive Application Example
A
Figure 13 shows an application that uses a redundant pair of Series 2 H1 cards with
redundant fieldbus power and short circuit protection for devices on a long (0.5 km)
trunk cable. If a failure occurs on an H1 card, a 24 V power supply, or a fieldbus
power supply, the segments continue to operate as expected. A status indication on
connected alarms alerts the operator that an error has occurred. It is assumed that the
application design follows the criteria specified in “DC Power Considerations for
Non-Incendive Applications” on page 57. Therefore, if a short occurs when a device
is installed or removed from the segment, only that device is affected; the rest of the
segment is unchanged.
