Turck has added new DPC-49-DU entry level model to the DPC family for Foundation Fieldbus

Turck's DPC-49-DU model is a further addition to its range of diagnostic power conditioners for Foundation Fieldbus. In order to ensure system integrity, the Diagnostic Unit of the DU version offers the same functions as the ADU variant (Advanced Diagnostic Unit) presented last year, with the exception of the physical layer and protocol diagnostics. The Diagnostic Power Conditioners come with an integrated diagnostics unit that can detect system faults, such as in one of the power supply modules. The diagnostics indicate the device using an isolated relay contact.

The DPC system allows efficient segment planning and provides redundant power feeds for the FF segments, each with an output current of up to 800 mA and an output voltage up to 30 VDC. With these specifications the Power Conditioner can even feed long-distance segments with several stations without any problems. In order to detect the fieldbus signal without any feedback, Turck has also implemented a full galvanic isolation in the new DPC system, both between the segments and between the segments and the power supply.
