SIL3 Transmitter Power Supply Now Available with Practical Spring Terminals

As a classified SIL3 device, the new transmitter power supply meets all safety requirements and is approved for intrinsically safe applications according to IEC 61508. The advantage of this is that only a single transmitter power supply is required to build an intrinsically safe signal circuit for SIL3. Until now, two SIL2 devices were needed. These additional costs can now be eliminated. For SIL2 applications there is a considerable benefit. Due to the new transmitter power supply with SIL3 classification, the prescribed test intervals in SIL2 applications are extended. Consequently, work-intensive maintenance is reduced.

The single channel transmitter power supply provides an active and passive 4…20 mA standard signal as well as a 1…5 V output signal for the control side and is only 12.5 mm wide. The narrow design ensures the efficient use of the available cabinet space. The assembly on the DIN rail (35 mm) with the Power Rail also allows information on internal diagnostics as a collective error message. The diagnostic information is then reported to a red signaling LED and can be easily seen by the user. The new transmitter power supply has an input for 2-wire SMART transmitters and current sources. The operation mode source / sink can be chosen.

• Removable spring terminals for fast and reliable cable attachment
