5.1.3 FF Segment Checklist
There can be several reasons for a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ installation to be in a faulty condition. In order to assure that communication can be established, the following requirements must be met.
•Device supply voltage must be higher than 9 VDC with a maximum of 32 VDC.
•Total current draw of a given segment cannot exceed the rating shown on the power conditioner and/or barrier.
•Two 100 Ω, 1 µF terminators must be connected to the
•Cable length plus spur length must not exceed the following values:
