Technical Innovation of the Year: the Power Hub
The “Power Hub”, the reader’s choice, further magnified Pepperl+Fuchs’ ability to meet new challenges and the demands dictated by the market. As the world largest supplier of intrinsically safe instrumentation, with a heritage of innovation that extends back to 1958, this award highlighted their determination to remain at the forefront of this specialised industry.
The Power Hub
Modern Fieldbus network topologies are designed according to high power trunk concepts, which allow for the supply of a Fieldbus segment with maximum power while maintaining the benefits of intrinsic safety for field devices in explosion hazardous areas. The FieldConnex® Power Hub is now available for both PROFIBUS and Foundation Fieldbus.
A motherboard-based systems platform with lowest power dissipation for Fieldbus power supplies it can be adapted to many different plant requirements with the option of redundancy for both, the power modules and gateways.
The new Advanced Diagnostic Module creates visibility of fieldbus communication online at the engineering station, thereby simplifying start-up and troubleshooting. Monitoring in real-time warns about degrading communication quality, which allows pro-active intervention and improves system up-time. Advanced Diagnostics takes control of the fieldbus.
