TS Series TRUNKSAFE® Fault-Tolerant Fieldbus System Get Data Sheet TRUNKSAFE.pdf (1.3M ) TRUNKSAFE in an Eggshell (590K ) * Patents Pending	TRUNKSAFE TS Series Fault-Tolerant Fieldbus System The TRUNKSAFE Fault-Tolerant Fieldbus System provides a cost-effective, yet highly reliable, strategy to maintain continuous communications between field devices and a Distributed Control System in the event of any single point failure (such as an open- or short-circuit) on a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1 or PROFIBUS PA segment. The First Redundant Fieldbus Physical Layer TRUNKSAFE consists of a Host Interface Kit (Redundant) device coupler (6- or 12-Way). Failure in either path results in auto-termination in the device coupler and continued communications on the segment. Implement a redundant, yet cost-effective, fieldbus physical layer for important and plant-critical segments. Highest Availability system for fieldbus (x13 over redundant power conditioners and H1 cards alone). Maintains all process and diagnostic communications without interruption, even if the network cable is broken or shorted. Compatible with FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA networks and devices without hardware or software changes. LED based diagnostics with master alarm for open and short-circuits, DC power status and segment noise. Auto resetting (20 microsecond) spur short circuit protection that takes just 4-5mA on short circuit detection. DIN-Rail and Complete Field-Mount Packages TRUNKSAFE Device Couplers and Power Conditioners snap onto standard DIN-rail. To reduce specification and installation time, device couplers can also be ordered in a variety of our ready-to-install field-mount, weather-proof enclosures complete with cable glands.
RM100 ROUTE-MASTER™ Fieldbus System (Intrinsically-Safe Installations) Get Data Sheet for Systems with Power Supply rm100.pdf (707K ) Get Data Sheet for RM110 rm110.pdf (281K )	High Powered Intrinsically-Safe Trunk for connecting FISCO and Entity Devices The ROUTE-MASTER Fieldbus System uses a patented split-architecture design to deliver the highest segment current to a hazardous area of ANY intrinsically-safe FOUNDATION fieldbus™ system. ROUTE-MASTER provides two trunks (350mA each) for each segment - enough to power 16 devices (20mA each) at 500m (1,500ft)—while remaining intrinsically-safe for hydrogen-risk areas at the individual spur connection. The ROUTE-MASTER Device Couplers are available in models that handle four to 20 fieldbus devices. ROUTE-MASTER Segment and Entity Calculator Tool Now Available ROUTE-MASTER, the industry’s most capable Intrinsically-Safe Fieldbus Solution, now has a free and easy to use segment calculator design tool. The calculator allows you to design and document IS Fieldbus segments that include FISCO or Entity devices. Included in the tool is an intuitive Entity calculator that automatically checks your IS segments for hazardous area compliance. Go to E-HELP EXPRESS to request your FREE copy. Connect Directly to FISCO or Entity Devices The ATEX-approved version Device Couplers (RMA100C) can be installed in IIB or IIC areas connecting FISCO or Entity devices from Zone 0, 1 and 2. Intrinsically-Safe, Isolated Power Supply The ROUTE-MASTER's rack-mounted fieldbus power supply delivers redundant intrinsically safe segment power for up to eight fieldbus segments. The isolated segments requires no ground and have two trunks available with 350ma each. Passive conditioning and redundant DC Power ensure an exceptionally reliable fieldbus segment. Industry-First Advantages Available in 4-, 8-, 10- and 20-spur models, ROUTE-MASTER Fieldbus Device Couplers use the same technology as our industry-first TRUNKGUARD Fieldbus Device Couplers to provide fully automatic segment termination. The patented technology prevents fieldbus segment failure from under- or over-termination, a major problem in fieldbus startups. The ROUTE-MASTER's auto-termination feature assures that local parts of a fieldbus segment will continue to function if remote parts of that segment are accidentally disconnected. This prevents costly downtime and hazardous situations. Other unique features include diagnostic LEDs that positively indicate power status on each spur, spur short circuits, status of auto-termination, as well as convenient connections for a fieldbus hand-held configurator. Short Circuit Protection On detection of excess current on a spur, the ROUTE-MASTER reacts immediately to switch spur current to a nominal trickle-level, rather than limiting the fault current to a fixed (and always higher) level as is typically done by competing units. With removal of the short, the spur is automatically reconnected to the segment. HAZARDOUS AREA MOUNTING ROUTE-MASTER System Design allows live working on Trunk and Field. Although ROUTE-MASTER device couplers are DIN rail mounted, they typically are supplied in Aluminium, GRP or SS Enclosures complete with glands and suitable for the area classification. The IS design of the system allows live working on the trunk and spurs for most installations. Because of the spur rating of Zone 0, Ex ia, FISCO or Entity devices can be directly connected from any zone or gas group without additional barriers.
