This eliminates the need for complex and time-consuming single wiring. One way to power several devices is to use the RNF22 power and error message modules, which also offer short-circuit and line break detection. These modules also enable redundant power feed-in where necessary.

• Group error message, line or short-circuit monitoring of side-by-side RLN22 NAMUR isolating amplifiers RNF22 power modules are particularly suitable for supplying power to RNx22 devices. Here, a total current of 3.75 A can be realized. These modules also offer the additional advantage of integrated error evaluation.
