MTL intrinsically safe fieldbus barriers.
MTL intrinsically safe fieldbus barriers
Our intrinsically safe fieldbus barriers are available in a variety of configurations and materials, maximizing application flexibility for industrial control systems.
9373-FB3 range: Complete enclosure systems for 12 intrinsically safe spur connections
9377-FB3 range: Compact fieldbus barrier module for 12 intrinsically safe spur connections
937x-FB2 range: Complete enclosure system for 6 or 12 intrinsically safe spur connections
9372-FB range: Redundant fieldbus barrier enclosure for up to 6 intrinsically safe spur connections
9387-FB range: Open frame, redundant fieldbus barrier with pre-assembled system components for up to 5 intrinsically safe spur connections
Open frame versions are designed for installation into user-selected field enclosures. These are suitable for applications requiring special enclosure features such as viewing windows, removable gland plates, or where multiple Fieldbus Barrier segments are required in a single enclosure. Each unit comprises pre-wired and assembled modular components on a stainless steel baseplate, for installation into an Ex e certified field enclosure without the need for additional internal wiring or ancillary components.
