The 2-channel compact isolators ISpac are equipped with detachable terminals available in screw terminal, cage clamp terminal and insulation cutting terminal versions. Depending on the particular application, the devices snap singly onto DIN rails and can either be centrally supplied from the common power supply (pac-Bus) or simply and conveniently connected to the automation system using the pac-Carrier.

The pac-Bus supplies the isolators with power and issues line errors occurring in the I.S. inputs and outputs via a floating contact. In addition to this collective messaging system, each individual device signals line errors by means of a red LED and an indicator contact.

With its choice of 8 or 16 slots, the pac-Carrier makes for an elegant automation system integration solution. Connecting to diverse automation systems is made easier by system-specific circuit board adapters equipped with matching plugs.

With the ISpac system also system specific solutions in any possible constellation from engineering to cabinet manufacturing are available.

Case I: Engineering of an I.S. interface with active input or output

The I.S. interface should be selected such that the safe maximum values of the I.S. interface (Uo, Io und Po) are less than, and the values Co and Lo are greater than the safe maximum values of the field device.
These values (Ui, Ii, Ci und Li) are to be derived from the test certificate of the field device. Otherwise, the national standards for the installation of intrinsically safe circuits should be applied.

Case II: Engineering of an I.S. interface with passive input

The safe maximum values of the field device (U

o, Io) must not exceed the maximum connectable values (Ui, Ii) of the I.S. interface.
These values are to be derived from the respective test certificates. Moreover, the interconnection of field device and I.S. interface must not exceed the
intrinsic safety limits (highest permissible values for total voltage, current, capacitance and inductance, see ignition curves).
Otherwise, the national specifications for the installation of intrinsically safe circuits should be applied.

Case III: Engineering of an I.S. interface connected to a simple electrical apparatus

Simple electrical apparatus: An electrical component or a combination of components of simple design with precisely known electrical parameters that does not affect the intrinsic safety of the circuit in which it (they) is (are) to be installed.

Simple electrical apparatuses can be:

  1. Passive components, for example, switches, junction boxes, resistors and simple semiconductor components;
  2. Sources of stored energy with precisely known parameters, for example, capacitors or inductors, the values of which are taken into account, if the overall safety of the system is assessed;
  3. Energy sources, for example thermocouples and photocells that generate no more than 1.5 V, 100 mA and 25 mW. Inductors or capacitors that are contained in these sources must be taken into account as in b).

Their interconnection with an I.S. interface is therefore likewise intrinsically safe (EN 60 079-14).

Otherwise, the national standards for the installation of intrinsically safe circuits should be applied.
