FB Remote I/O Product Specifications Resistor network Most I/O modules have a line fault detection function that can recognize a lead breakage or a short circuit. If binary I/O modules are used, for example with a mechanical contact, an additional resistor network must be installed to ensure that the line fault detection function can work correctly.
FB Remote I/O Product Specifications 2.7.2 Cordsets Warning! Explosion hazard through use of incorrect cordset. The use of incorrect cables in a potentially explosive atmosphere can create sparks that can ignite the surrounding atmosphere. Com unit cordset If two com units are used in a redundant system, they must be connected using a cordset via the front socket to enable internal data exchange.
FB Remote I/O Product Specifications 2.7.3 FB Removal Tool for Ex-d Modules The removal tool allows for quick installation and safe module exchange during operation. That way, the module can be replaced without a hot work permit via the two-stage removal process.
Operating the components of the FB remote I/O without a certified enclosure can cause sparks. This may ignite the surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere. Install and operate components of the FB remote I/O in zone 1 if they are installed in a certified enclosure that meets equipment protection level Gb.
FB Remote I/O Installation Backplanes Warning! Explosion hazard due to thermal ignition and violation of protection type. Make sure that the maximum ambient temperature for the components used is not exceeded. Details of ambient temperature can be found in the relevant datasheets. Note that the temperature rises with an increasing number of active modules in the field unit.
FB Remote I/O Installation Connections for FB9262BP* The power supply and the bus cables are wired using the Ex e terminal strip (1), which is located on the left side of the backplane. In addition, the Ex-e terminal strip forms the connection between the base backplane and the extension backplane.
