General Description

The ICS Module system is a major breakthrough in the effort to integrate intrinsic safety with automation systems found in most industrial processes. The system is centered around multifunction modules which simply plug into automation system specific termination panels. The modules provide electrical isolation to intrinsic safety standards while the termination panels provide any necessary signal conditioning and distribution required by the automation system. The result is a more compact solution which is easily installed and maintained at substantial savings to the user.

The Type 9100 Series of galvanic isolators are available in both single and dual channel versions. New design techniques permits each module to perform several functions thereby reducing the need to stock large quantities of several module types. For example, the Type 9124 may be programmed to accept either thermocouple, RTD, or other mV inputs and provide a standardized 4/20mA signal in return.

Most modules contain LED indicators on the front faceplate for visual indication of module power and circuit status. Where applicable test jacks are provided for connecting HART hand-held terminal, serial interface devices, or multimeters for configuration and diagnostics purposes. Jumpers and switch settings are supplied for initial configuration of module and field circuit parameters.

Electrical isolation is provided between the input/output and supply circuits thereby reducing susceptibility to outside electrical interference and ground loops. All modules have been tested according to IEC 801.1-5 for electromagnetic compatibility and are stamped with the CE mark.
