For standard industrial applications (non-hazardous
areas), PROFIBUS PA junction boxes and limiters are avail- able as 1-way, 2-way, 4-way, and 8-way distributors.
FBCon limiters are designed to protect connected field
devices from over voltages and short circuits. As volt-
age-limiting protective elements, suppressor diodes are
used. Due to the integrated current limitation, the seg-
ment is also protected against short circuit on a spur line. EMC cable glands, protection class IP66 and a wide oper- ating temperature range safely protect your connections in harsh environments.
Functionality
• EMC cable glands for trunk and spurs
• M12 connector for spurs
• External earthing stud

• Aluminium and stainless-steel versions
• Profibus PA / Foundation Fieldbus compatible
Note: The use of FBCon products with aluminum enclo- sures and / or M12 connectors is not recommended in strongly saline environments.
