IN STOCK-Pepperl+Fuchs HiC2031S | SMART Current Driver | HART/FF | DIN Rail | 4-20mA Loop

Pepperl+Fuchs HiC2031S SMART Current Driver

The Pepperl+Fuchs HiC2031S is a specialized active current driver designed to provide the necessary drive current for SMART field devices in intrinsically safe (IS) control loops. It enables digital communication (HART, Foundation Fieldbus) while reliably powering the 4-20mA analog signal, serving as a crucial interface component in hazardous area automation systems.

Key Features

• Active Current Source: Functions as an active current driver within a 4-20mA control loop, supplying the necessary power for the field transmitter while carrying the analog signal.

• SMART Protocol Support: Specifically designed to support HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) and Foundation Fieldbus (FF) communication digital signals superimposed on the 4-20mA analog current.

• Hazardous Area Interface: Acts as an interface for connecting intrinsically safe (IS) field devices located in hazardous areas (e.g., Zone 0/1) to safe area control systems (e.g., DCS, PLC).

• High Signal Integrity: Provides a stable and low-noise current source, ensuring accurate analog signal transmission and reliable digital communication in electrically noisy industrial environments.

• Compact DIN Rail Design: Space-efficient module designed for easy installation on standard 35mm DIN rails within control cabinets or marshalling racks.

• Diagnostic Indication: Typically includes LED indicators to show operational status, power, and communication activity for quick visual diagnostics.

Applications

• Process Control Loops: Providing the active current for SMART pressure, temperature, level, and flow transmitters in IS loops within chemical or petrochemical plants.

• HART Communication Networks: Enabling digital configuration, calibration, and diagnostics of HART field devices from the control room.

• Foundation Fieldbus Systems: Serving as a component in FF H1 networks to power and communicate with field devices.

• Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Interfacing with SMART safety transmitters in critical safety loops.
