8-segment fieldbus power system

Staff -- Control Engineering, 6/1/2006

F800 Series fieldbus power system is a high-density, redundant power supply designed to achieve low per-segment cost and high packing density in large fieldbus installations. It uses 8-channel power supply modules in a redundant format on a passive base. System reportedly eliminates all single points of failure and takes half the space of existing fieldbus power supplies. A network monitoring option lets the system continuously monitor the health of installed fieldbus segments. Parameters measured include segment voltages, signal levels of all devices, and noise in three bands. F800 Series comes in a variety of formats for easy integration into most fieldbus control systems. www.mtl-fieldbus.com MTL Instruments
