The SB312-LP uses Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) technology to completely isolate the control network on the hazardous side of the barrier. It supplies up to 80mA to field devices located in the hazardous area in accordance with the FISCO model.
The incorporated repeater (operating in compliance with IEC 1158-2 specifications at 31.25 Kbits/s) cleans and boosts the incoming communication signal, transmitting it to instruments inside the hazardous environment without compromising the safety
requirements of explosion proof wiring.
The networks on the hazardous and safe sides of the SB312-LP are completely independent of each other.
The SB312-LP also incorporates bus termination for the hazardous network in its design so that only one far terminator is required and up to a 2.5 mm2 (12 AWG) conductor can be used.
