FI302
Foundation Fieldbus to Current Converter
Model: WM-SGCN-SMR-002
The FI302 converts a FIELDBUS signal into a 4 to 20 mA signal. If the frequency converter does not have FIELDBUS capability, the bus signal can be converted into a conventional 4 to 20 mA by the FI302. The FIELDBUS signal can, for example, be a request from the bus to a frequency converter to set a conveyor speed to 3.4 ft/s.

This instrument has three independent channels, which means that three 4 to 20 mA outputs are available.

 FR302
Fieldbus Relay
Model: WM-SGCN-SMR-006


FR302 is a Fieldbus device that has two built-in relays making integration of Fieldbus and conventional devices such as solenoids, on/off valves, electrical actuators, motors, pumps, starters, etc. The FR302 Fieldbus Relay can be located at the field, mounted close to the conventional output devices without the need to run the conventional wiring to the control room. The FR302 is an integral part of SYSTEM302 but also integrates into other systems supporting FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus.

An extensive function block library enables the FR302 to perform logic and regulatory control functions in the field integrating it to the control strategy with other H1 Fieldbus devices on the same network. Insatiable function blocks provide great flexibility in control strategy. Link master capability allows the FR302 to work as a backup LAS for greater availability of network communications.

One very interesting application for FR302 is as interface for electrical actuators. Any electrical actuator, including Smar series AD/AR/AL becomes a Fieldbus actuator, making FR302 ideal in upgrades and plant reinstrumentations. The PID Step block is ideal in these cases since it can modulate the valve without the need for actual position feedback.

Some Features:

  • Discrete Output connected direct onto FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus;
  • Insatiable Function Blocks for regulatory and discrete control in the field;
  • Two built-in Solid State Relay Outputs;
  • Designed for DC and AC loads;
  • Mix Fieldbus with conventional devices;
