FieldConnex Ethernet-APL Rail Field Switches connect Ethernet-APL instruments to Ethernet networks via any protocol. Installed in Zone 2, they provide intrinsically safe power and communication to the instruments through the spur ports: Ex ic for instruments in Zone 2 or Ex ia for instruments in Zone 0/1. The ARS11 series also supports PROFIBUS PA devices via a selectable proxy function; ARS12 is APL only.

For high-availability installations, MRP ring redundancy, S2 system redundancy and PROFINET dynamic reconfiguration are available. Configuration and diagnostics are carried out via FDI, web interface, PROFINET device functions and SNMP.

Key features

  • 8, 16 or 24 powered spur ports, Ex ic (Zone 2) or Ex ia (Zone 0/1), to 2-WISE and FISCO
  • 2 x 1000BASE-T ports and 2 ports for SFP transceivers (SFP-1…4)
  • PROFINET Class B, MRP, S2 redundancy and dynamic reconfiguration
  • Redundant power input 20…60 V DC
  • Physical layer diagnostics at the spur
  • Network security: SNMPv3, HTTPS, locking of unused ports
  • Accessories: APL surge protectors, RJ-45/SFP protective covers, separation wall, wall mounting kit
