FNICO - what is it?
For applications in Zone 2 and Division 2 hazardous areas, MTL’s Fieldbus Non-Incendive Concept (FNICO) brings the benefits of FISCO together with higher current levels, allowing yet more devices per trunk. Live-working is permissible without gas clearance, allowing devices to be connected or removed while under power. MTL FNICO supplies 9111-NI (IIC/Group A) and 9112-NI (IIB/Group C, D) repeat the H1/Profibus-PA signal as a non-incendive bus for connection to suitably approved field instruments in Zone 2 or Division 2.
For further in-depth information covering the FNICO concept, download our application note AN9027.
