Diagnostics
If the device has detected an error, additional diagnostic information will be send to the master. The meaning of the
additional information is described within the GSD file under UNIT_DIAG_BIT(i).
2. Electrical connection
For a detailed description please check the Installation and Operating Instructions manual of the device.
2.1 Interconnection of devices in the hazardous location
We recommend that a PROFIBUS-PA network in the hazardous location be projected in accordance with PTB’s
FISCO model (see KROHNE brochure ”PROFIBUS-PA networks”). The FISCO-Model may be used, if:
•
all electrical components which should be connected to the bus must be approved according the FISCO model
(even the termination),
•
the maximum cable length does not exceed 1000 m,
•
the values of the cable are within the following ranges R´=15...150
Ω
/km; L´=0,4...1mH/km; C´=80...200nF/km,
•
the approved input values of the field devices (Uo, Io, Po) are matchable with the output values of the power
supply (e.g. segmment coupler) which menas U I
≤
Uo, I
I
≤
I o und P I
≤
Po.
2.2 Bus cable
Further limitations to the cable than the FISCO limitations are not existent. Nevertheless a twisted pair and shielded
cable strongly recommended. The good quality cable could have the following data: 44
Ω
/km, <90nF/km, <3dB
attenuation at 39kHz and 100 Ohm impedance at 31,25kHz.
2.3 Shielding and grounding
For optimum electromagnetic compatibility of systems it is extremely important that the system components, and
particularly the bus cables connecting the components, be shielded and that such shields - if possible - form an
unbroken cover, electrically speaking.
Hence it follows that, for use in non-hazardous duty systems , the cable shield should be grounded as often as
possible.
In “Ex“ systems an adequate equipotential bonding in the hazardous and non-hazardous location along the entire
fieldbus installation is strongly recommended. Multiple grounding of the shield is also of advantage.
Note: The use of twisted and shielded cables is strongly recommended, otherwise EMC protection of the BM 100 A
cannot be assured.
