The Pepperl + Fuchs HIC2025 is a smart transmitter power supply designed to facilitate intrinsic safety applications within industrial settings. This compact and efficient module is engineered to supply power to 2-wire transmitters located in hazardous areas, while also being compatible with current sources. It adeptly transfers analog input signals to a safe area as isolated current values, ensuring operational integrity and reliability.
Equipped with the capability to support bi-directional communication, the HIC2025 is compatible with SMART transmitters that utilise current modulation for data transmission and voltage modulation for data reception. The output can be configured as a current source, current sink, or voltage source through the use of DIP switches, providing versatility to meet a range of application requirements.
The HIC2025 also features line fault detection, which signals a separate fault output if the input signal falls outside the 3 mA to 22 mA range. This feature is crucial for maintaining system integrity and preventing potential issues that could arise from signal discrepancies.
Designed for mounting on a HiC termination board, the HIC2025 is a robust solution that offers a low power dissipation and supports up to SIL 2 according to IEC 61508 standards, making it a reliable choice for safety-related applications. Its construction adheres to a high degree of protection with an IP20 rating, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental factors in industrial environments.
Overall, the Pepperl + Fuchs HIC2025 is a sophisticated and reliable component that plays a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of industrial control systems, particularly in areas where safety and precision are paramount.
