Function

The FieldConnex ® compact Power Hub is a modular fieldbus power supply for eight segments with lowest power dissipation and smallest foot print. It supports explosion protection e.g. the high-power trunk for longest cable run and highest device count. The Power Hub supports optional advanced diagnostics for fast fieldbus commissioning and online monitoring.

The motherboard is the wiring interface and is equipped with two DB 25 connectors on the left side. The version with type code extension ".R" has DB 25 connectors on the right side for symmetrical cabinet layout. Manufactured cables with DCS system plugs reduce the number of connection points and effort for checkout. Sockets for all modules enable simple installation and replacement without tools. For power redundancy with seamless transfer, pairs of modules feed each segment. Wire connections can be selected as spring terminals or screw terminals.

This design allows the most compact cabinet layout. Excellent availability and a very long service life are achieved through: passive impedance filter per segment, high-availability fieldbus termination and plugs with retaining screws. Electronics are optimized for lowest power dissipation and compactness.
