The ABB network devices for FOUNDATION Fieldbus facilitate creating a robust infrastructure for fieldbus and ease for maintenance and expansions. ABB's fieldbus components are ideally prepared for their specific use in the field. With the available set of devices following advantages are provided:
- The bus segment is protected against communication errors and short-circuits
- EEx i field devices can be connected during operation
- No further T boxes or distribution boxes are needed
- A higher supply voltage and a higher supply current are made available, therefore increasing the segment length and making it possible to connect a maximum number of field devices to a single segment
