Field of application
The active barrier RN221N supplies e.g. a transmitter with power, if required also in the Ex-area, and then transmits the galvanically isolated signal. With the optionally available HART® monitoring the status of the transmitter is monitored. If an error arises a relay at the RN221N sends an alarm. The relay has to be actively set back. Thus even just briefly occurring errors can be easily located.
Galvanic isolation of 4 to 20 mA current circuits
Removing large loop circuits
Powering 2 wire transmitters
Monitoring of SMART transmitters with early-warning system
Intrinsically safe sensor supply for Ex-area
Benefits
Wide range power supply, flexible power source
Compact side by side DIN rail housing
International Ex approvals; marine approval
Bidirectional HART® transmission. Communication sockets for HART® sensor setting up. Evaluation of status information from connected transmitter with HART® protocol.
Primary or secondary master operating mode, automatic selection
