A set of industrial computer networks used for distributed real-time control go by the name of “Fieldbus.” The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has standardised fieldbus profiles as IEC 61784/61158.
As a distributed control system, a sophisticated automated industrial system is often organised in hierarchical layers (DCS).
A non-time-critical communications system connects the upper levels of the production management hierarchy to the direct control level of the programmable logic controllers (PLC) in this hierarchy (e.g. Ethernet).
The direct connections via current loops or digital I/O signals are replaced by the fieldbus, which connects the PLCs at the direct control level to the plant’s field-level components such sensors, actuators, electric motors, console lights, switches, valves, and contactors.
Therefore, the need for a fieldbus is urgent and price-sensitive. Numerous fieldbuses based on Real-time Ethernet have been developed since the turn of the millennium. In the long run, these might take the place of conventional fieldbuses.
A fault-tolerant means of connecting field devices to a Profibus-PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus (H1) network is provided by the 6-way Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box.
There are six drop-line ports for field devices in addition to the unit’s bus-input and bus-out ports. Up, Chevron.
A fault-tolerant method for connecting field devices to a Profibus-PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus (H1) network is provided by our Bulletin 1788 6-way Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box.
There are six drop-line ports for field devices in addition to the unit’s bus-input and bus-out ports.
The Global Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box Bulletin 1788 6-way was released by Alley-Bradley. Field devices can be connected to a Profibus-PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus (H1) network using an Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box, which offers a fault-tolerant method of doing so.
A bus-input port, a bus-output port, and six field device drop-line ports are included in the unit. The bus current at each drop-line port is continuously measured.
If a problem is found, the drop is isolated until the problem is fixed. All of the field devices still connected to the bus can still communicate even if one of the segments is shorted.
