and to maximize performance of the wireless system. See the FDAP Regulatory Compliance
Guide for details about certified antennas and the allowable maximum RF output power.
The FDAP2 has integrated lightning Surge arrestors on the antenna ports. The lightning
Surge arrestors are permanently attached and do not require field maintenance.
Llightning Surge arrestors are required for all outdoor installations or indoor installations
where FDAP2 may be subjected to lightning surge. Optional remote mounted lightning
Surge arrestors are available for use in application where the remote antenna cable is
exposed to lightning surge.
LED indicators
The FDAP2 has three LEDs for indicating the status and health of the device. For more
information about LEDs, see
Features of FDAP
The features of the FDAP are as follows:
•
DC or Universal AC powered: The FDAP operates at DC or AC and provides better
latency than battery-based wireless field device mesh network. It enables the use of
wireless field devices for applications requiring fast update rates (less than 10
seconds) and short latency (less than 250 milliseconds (ms)) and in areas where
Wi-Fi radios are not allowed.
AC is supported only in FDAP2 models.
NOTE
•
Antenna diversity: The FDAP uses spatial antenna diversity to improve
communication success rates and to improve coverage in multi-path
environments. This is necessary for most of the industrial applications where there
is no direct line of sight between field devices. Antenna diversity significantly
improves data availability in such applications.
Antenna diversity is supported only in FDAP
and FDAP Gen3 models.
NOTE
•
Location Tracking: The FDAP Gen3 Anchor has capability to find the distance of
Tags. Distance data will be used to compute the location of Tags.
Location Tracking is supported only in FDAP
Gen3 Anchor.
NOTE
•
Fast Ethernet: The FDAP has 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface and can be
integrated into any network that supports Ethernet communication.
