FDAP types

FDAP as backbone router

The FDAP has a radio board and an autonomous power subsystem that operates within a
range of AC/DC inputs. FDAP supports wireless radio communication, and it does not
support Wi-Fi or other radio technologies. The FDAP may be used for Class I Division 2,
Zone 2 and general-purpose applications.

FDAP as field router

The FDAP can be used as a Field Router (FR). If FDAP is not connected to the physical
Ethernet, it functions as a line powered FR. The FDAP as a line powered FR option can be
used for extending field mesh into hazardous environments where normal infrastructure
nodes are not suitable. The FDAP may be used as a field router for Class 1 Division 1, Zone
0/1 applications that require IS protection methods and design techniques. This also
supports RS-485 communication to transmit data from Modbus RS-485s over Wireless
(FEWIO role).
AC is only supported in FDAP1/ FDAP2 models.
