FieldBarrier
FieldBarrier for IEC 61158-2 fieldbusses
• High power in the field due to Ex e /
Ex i power feed concept
• Connects up to 4 intrinsically safe
output lines to a non-intrinsically
save fieldbus trunk
• Connection of fieldbus trunk in
increased safety EEx e
• Trunk protection due to short-circuit
current limitation for each output
• Cascadable
• 4 intrinsically safe EEx ia IIC outputs
in accordance to FISCO and Entity
• Installation in zone 1
• Housing IP67 for mounting in the
field
• Switchable integrated fieldbus
termination resistor
• Efficient shielding concept due to
electrical isolation between the
fieldbus trunk and the intrinsically
safe outputs
• Variants with different cable glands

Function
The FieldBarrier connects a non-intrinsically safe fieldbus main line to 4 intrinsically safe output lines. Due to the
'increased safety' Ex e power feed concept, sufficient power is available to
feed a multitude of field devices. Each
output provides 40 mA. Up to 120 m of
cable can be connected to an output
and operated without a termination
resistor. The FieldBarrier is connected
to a fieldbus according to IEC 61158-2
(MBP) on the trunk side by means of Ex
e connection terminals. The trunk can
be fed to another FieldBarrier of other
fieldbus stations by means of the trunkout terminals (cascading). Faults on the
output lines have no negative influence
on the trunk due to the individual shortcircuit monitoring of each output. In
terms of plant reliability it is recommendable to connect one field device to
each output only.
