9387-FB-Px-R 5-Spur Open-Frame Redundant Fieldbus Barrier Figure 1.1 - Example of model 9387-FB-Px-R OVERVIEW This manual explains the installation and maintenance procedures for the 9387-FB-Px-R Open-Frame Redundant Fieldbus Barrier and must be read in association with the product datasheet that contains the electrical data. The 9387-FB-Px-R assembly is a wiring hub that creates five* intrinsically safe spur connections from a high-energy trunk, for connection to suitably certified F ™...
DESCRIPTION General The assembly consists of a stainless steel baseplate, together with a trunk-wiring terminal assembly (TTA), two carrier-mounted fieldbus barriers and a fieldbus alarm module. Each barrier module can convert a single, non-intrinsically safe fieldbus trunk into six, galvanically isolated, intrinsically safe (IS) spur connections for connection to ™...
Consequently, if a spur ‘fail-over’ occurs, an alarm is signalled quickly to the host, via the fieldbus connection, to facilitate any necessary remedial action. The five remaining spurs are available to the user for connection to field devices. Trunk Terminal Assembly The incoming trunk wiring is terminated inside a separate compartment, called the Trunk Terminal Assembly (TTA), that contains increased safety (Ex e) trunk wiring terminals.
c) An assembly has limited ingress protection and must be provided with protection appropriate to the environment in which it is located. The following table provides guidance on minimum environmental protection for specific locations. Location Minimum environmental protection Safe area IP20 Ex e or Ex d certified enclosure;...
After mounting the assembly check that: • none of the component parts have suffered any damage, • the baseplate of the assembly is not distorted • the mounting bolts/nuts are all tightened as recommended above. INITIAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WARNING! Before starting any electrical installation work, ensure that the incoming trunk connection is isolated from any source of power.

4.2.2 Cable shield ground The cable shield is normally electrically isolated from the protective earth ground, although the two may be deliberately interconnected in some grounding arrangements. The cable shield wiring of both the trunk and spur cables should be connected to the local terminals marked with an ‘S’.

With this arrangement, the fieldbus trunk shield is separated from the spur cable shields. It should be adopted if plant or local regulations require that the spur cable shields be grounded at the Fieldbus Barrier. For this arrangement, connect the carrier shield ground wire (marked A) into Terminal 3.

b) The trunk cable(s), which will be free of any armouring and presented as a shielded pair, should be fed through the supplied grommet, which should have been cut cleanly with a sharp knife to ensure that the IP30 rating for the TTA will be maintained.
4.6.2 Fitting FS32 spur surge-protection modules FS32 modules are pluggable surge-protection units that integrate easily with the standard pluggable connector and which direct excessive spur surge currents to the protective local ground.

MAINTENANCE When the enclosure is installed in a hazardous area it is important for personnel to understand what activities are permissible when fieldbus power is present and what are not. WARNING! Read and understand what work is permitted on the equipment. Failure to comply with these instructions can endanger the lives or health of personnel and risk damage to the plant and the environment.

a) Engage the locating guides (A) of the 9377-FB-R Fieldbus Barrier module into the sockets provided on the carrier and push the module fully into place. b) Tighten the three captive fixing screws (C & D) to a recommended torque of 0.9Nm to secure it.

To restore Barrier A to the “active” mode, press the B > A fail-over button located beside Barrier B. Control of all spurs now returns to Barrier A while Barrier B goes into “standby” mode. * NOTE Operating the fail-over buttons will not allow active spurs to be transfered to a missing or failed barrier module.
5.2.3.1 Mounting a module Refer to Figure 5.4. Orientate the module so that the smaller front clip is facing the user, then: • lower the module so that the safety retaining clip on the TTA housing fits into the loop on the module •...
Trunk connections WARNING! No part of the Trunk Terminal Assembly may be worked while the assembly is powered, unless the environment is known to be non- hazardous. Before any work starts on the Trunk Terminal Assembly the trunk power to the enclosure must be isolated, or a gas clearance certificate obtained.
TROUBLESHOOTING The Redundant Fieldbus Barriers are fitted with LED indicators to assist the user in fault identification. Consult the following tables to understand the meaning of the LED states. Power LED (Green) Trunk power applied Insufficient or no trunk power NOTE The Power LED will not light until the voltage at the barrier has risen to a value of at least 15.7V, but could remain lit even after the voltage has dropped to around 13.0V.
ALARM MODULE - OPERATION & CONFIGURATION Introduction As with all redundant systems, early notification of the failure of a system component is important so that the fault can be rectified before a second fault is allowed to occur. A second fault is likely to interrupt the process, so restoring redundant operation is vital in maintaining high levels of system availability.
7.2.1 DI Function Blocks: failure alarm status of 9377-FB-R barrier modules The two discrete input blocks conform to FF standard FF891 and are used by the TTH300 for cyclic reading out of extended diagnostics information. For the MTL redundant Fieldbus Barrier, the output of the blocks indicate the health of the 9377-FB-R barrier modules as follows: Digital Input (DI) Block 1: Output false (0):...

NOTE It is permitted for the alarm module to be removed or installed while the enclosure is powered because all its connections are rated “intrinsically safe”. 7.3.1 To remove the alarm module: 1. Loosen the two captive securing screws on the blue (spur) connector and extract the connector - repeat for the black (alarm) connector.
ATEX INFORMATION The Essential Health and Safety Requirements (Annex II) of the EU Directive 2014/34/ EU [the ATEX Directive - safety of apparatus] requires that the installation manual of all equipment used in hazardous areas shall contain certain information. This annex is included to ensure that this requirement is met.
Inspection and maintenance a) Inspection and maintenance should be carried out in accordance with European, national and local regulations which may refer to the IEC standard IEC 60079-17 . In addition specific industries or end users may have specific requirements which should also be met.
