Fieldbus Terminators

Isolated Terminator with Screw Terminals

The Isolated Terminating Block, FCS-TI, is used as a terminator and wiring block at the far end of the segment. The terminating block interconnects up to four shielded twisted-pairs; for example, the home run cable and three devices. A high energy surge suppressor built into the isolated Terminator protects the devices attached to the Fieldbus from near lightning strikes. A stainless steel ground stud is used for earthing the surge currents induced into the shields of the Fieldbus wiring. When not discharging surges, the ground stud is DC isolated from the cable shields.

These Terminators are part of our Legacy Fieldbus interconnection blocks. For new designs, we recommend our Megablock Series.
