 Isolated Barriers

Isolated Barriers
With galvanic optical or transformer isolation, these modules provide an interface within the intrinsic safety circuit that is electrically
separated from the control system. A key advantage of isolated barriers is that they do not require a ground between the module and the
intrinsically safe device. Available in 12.5 mm (0.5 in) and 20 mm (0.8 in) widths.

Switch Amplifiers
Switch Amplifiers are used to transfer digital
signals (NAMUR sensors/mechanical contacts)
from a hazardous area to a safe area. Select
modules are available with relay output or SMART Current Drivers
transistor output, in addition to signal splitters. A SMART Current Drivers drive SMART I/P
unique collective error messaging feature is converters, electrical valves, and positioners in
available when used with the Power Rail system. hazardous areas.
Due to its compact housing design and low heat
dissipation, this device is useful for detecting
positions, end stops, and switching states in
space-critical applications.

SMART Transmitter Power Supplies

SMART Transmitter Power Supplies supply 2-wire
SMART transmitters in a hazardous area, and can Solenoid Drivers
also be used with 2-wire SMART current sources. Solenoid Drivers supply power to solenoids, LEDs,
They transfer the analog input signal to the safe and audible alarms located in a hazardous area.
area as an isolated current value. Modules with
splitter feature provide two isolated output
signals.

Temperature Repeaters
Temperature Repeaters transfer RTD resistance
values from hazardous areas to safe areas. A 2-,
3-, or 4-wire mode is available depending on the
required accuracy. The monitor registers the
same load as if it were connected directly to the
resistance in a hazardous area.

This isolated barrier is used for intrinsic safety applications.

It supplies power to solenoids, LEDs, and audible alarms
located in a hazardous area. It is loop powered, so the
available energy at the output is received from the input
signal. The output signal has a resistive characteristic. As a
result the output voltage and current are dependent on the
load and the input voltage. At full load, 12 V at 45 mA is
available for the hazardous area application.

 Converter Barriers

Converter Barriers
Converters add functionality to the isolators by receiving signals from a hazardous area instrument e.g., temperature sensors, or load cells
and then converting them to an industry standardized signal such as 0 / 4…20 mA or 0 / 2…10V.
Pulse evaluation units process a frequency signal at the input. A lead fault monitoring system signals a lead breakage or lead short-circuit on
the signal cables.

 Zener Barriers

Zener Barriers
Zener barriers have long been a cost-effective solution for providing an intrinsically safe interface with field devices located in the
hazardous area. Allen-Bradley Zener barriers provide protection for electrical signals within hazardous areas and feature a narrow profile of
just 12.5 mm to maximize control panel space. Zener barrier prevents the transfer of unacceptably high energy from the safe area into the
hazardous area. These Zener barriers have a positive polarity, which means the anodes of the Zener diodes are grounded. Depending on the
application, increased or decreased intrinsic safety parameters apply for serial or parallel connection. These barriers simply snap onto a
standard DIN rail for easy installation and grounding.

Zener barriers are available in the following types:

• Standard one- or two-channel barriers

• The diode return feature prevents a current into the

hazardous area, therefore the current assumption for
intrinsic safety calculations is zero

• In addition to the diode return feature, the high power version

has a smaller serial resistance and therefore provides higher
voltage to the field device

diodes in the Zener Barrier are connected in the reverse on 35 mm DIN mounting rail according to
Mounting
direction. The breakdown voltage of the diodes is not exceeded EN 60715:2001
in normal operation. If this voltage is exceeded, due to a fault in
the safe area, the diodes start to conduct, causing the fuse to
blow. The Zener Barrier has a positive polarity, for example, the
anodes of the zener diodes are grounded.

The Zener Barrier prevents the transfer of unacceptably high
energy from the safe area into the hazardous area. The zener
diodes in the Zener Barrier are connected in the reverse
direction. The breakdown voltage of the diodes is not exceeded
in normal operation. If this voltage is exceeded, due to a fault in
the safe area, the diodes start to conduct, causing the fuse to
blow. The Zener Barrier has a positive polarity, for example, the
anodes of the zener diodes are grounded.

The Zener Barrier is for evaluation of signals from the hazardous

area. The diodes of diode return prevent a current into the
hazardous area, therefore the current assumption for intrinsic
safety calculations is zero. Depending on the application,
increased or decreased intrinsic safety parameters apply for
serial or parallel connection. For the detailed parameters refer
to the Zener Barrier certificate. Application examples can be
found in the system description of the Zener Barriers.

Power Rail
937A-PR08, 937A-PR20

The power rail has two conductors for 24V DC power and one conductor for collective error messaging. The rail reduces wiring and
maintenance costs because it eliminates the need to daisy-chain wires. It also simplifies expansion – just snap in a new Isolated barrier or
Converter barrier when you're ready to expand a system. The rail is available in 2 meter or 0.8 meter lengths and can be cut to size per
application needs. The power rail comes standard with two end caps and a cover. Additional end caps can be ordered separately.

• 35 mm DIN mounting rail with 3-conductor insert

• Provides DC supply voltage to equipped intrinsic safety modules
• Simple to customize to application space
• Eliminates daisy-chains
• Available in 0.8 m and 2 m lengths
