  • Page 2: Product Features

    • Up to eight FLEX Ex modules may be attached to the slave side Intermixed Systems The bus isolator modules, 1797-BIC and -CEC, allow you to configure FLEX Ex modules and FLEX I/O modules on the DIN rail when attached to the same adapter and grouped together on appropriate sides of the bus isolator module.
  • Page 3 Field Wiring to Zone 0 40088 Note: A maximum of one 1794-CE1 cable and one 1794-CE3 cable can be attached onto the 1797-BIC module. Use the appropriate connection on the explosion-proof enclosure: For Metric Threads on the Connector: Part Number Manufacturer RS-FEED.M...
  • Page 4: General Installation

    Make certain that you only connect the FLEX Ex backplane connector to other intrinsically safe system modules to maintain the integrity of the intrinsically-safe backplane. For proper operation, cycle power to the ATTENTION 1797-BIC at the same time power is cycled to the associated adapter. 1794 1797 1797...

  • Page 7: 1797-Cec Module Installation

    FLEX Ex Bus Isolator and Flexbus Connector 1797-CEC Module Installation The 1797-CEC module mounts on a DIN rail. It connects to an adapter or another FLEX I/O module. Note: If using this module with FLEX I/O modules, do not mount between FLEX I/O modules. Mount the 1797-CEC module to the right of FLEX I/O modules.
  • Page 8 FLEX Ex Bus Isolator and Flexbus Connector 4. Press down to lock the module on the DIN rail. 41377 If the module does not lock in place, use a screwdriver of similar device to move the locking tab down, press the module flush with the DIN rail and release the locking tab to lock the module in place.
  • Page 9 FLEX Ex Bus Isolator and Flexbus Connector 6. To remove the 1797-CEC module, you must work from the right side and remove one module at a time. To disengage a module from its neighbor, place a common flat-bladed screwdriver between the two modules and turn 1/4 turn to separate the modules.
  • Page 10: 1797-Bic Module Installation

    FLEX Ex Bus Isolator and Flexbus Connector 1797-BIC Module Installation The 1797-BIC module mounts on a DIN rail. It connects to a 1797-CEC module. 1. Remove the cover plug (if used) in the male connector of the unit to which you are connecting this module.
  • Page 11 6. Install DIN rail locks (supplied with the 1797-BIC module) to meet shock and vibration specifications as listed on page 15. 7. To remove the 1797-BIC, remove the DIN rail locks and then slide the module away from its left neighbor, and release the locking lever to remove the module from the DIN rail.

  • Page 17 FLEX Ex Bus Isolator and Flexbus Connector CENELEC Information The isolator type 1797-BIC/* is an associated apparatus according to EN 50020. If the isolator is connected to intrinsically safe circuits the applicable national local construction, installation and operating regulations must be heeded (in Germany DIN EN 50020, DIN VDE 0165).
  • Page 18: Power Supply

    (1797-6.5.6). Application The isolator type 1797-BIC/* functions as a galvanic isolation barrier for signals between a non-intrinsic backplane bus and an intrinsic safe backplane bus. The isolator must be installed in a safe or Zone 2 area.
