Connected Industrial
FE260
Function extension unit Ex-barrier, data
communication and power supply
Applications
• Ex-barrier for data interface and digital outputs
• Interface for the use of a data communication module
• Intrinsically safe power supply for a volume converter
Brief information
The FE260 is a compact device in which the signals from the data interface
and the digital outputs from a volume converter type EK200 series
installed in a hazardous area can be connected to the corresponding input
terminals. The signals at the output terminals are available for use with
any kind of peripheral device. In addition to this, it is possible to provide an
intrinsically safe power supply for the connected volume converter. All of the
electrical data is perfectly compatible with any of the end devices that can
be connected.
Data communication M ai n feat u res

In order to integrate the volume converter into a remote data transfer
system, the FE260 can be fi tted with a data communication module. • A ssociated apparatus for Ex-Zone 2
For this purpose, modems for a variety of telecommunication networks • Manufacturer declaration to use in Ex-Zone 2
are available to meet the necessary requirements. To connect the • Ex-barrier for data communication interface
device to an IP based network an Ethernet module can be equipped • Ex-barrier for digital outputs
alternatively. Should it be necessary to connect modems or devices from • Power supply for a volume converter
other manufacturers, standard interfaces in accordance with RS232 or • Integration in remote data transfer systems
RS422 are also available. • Modular design
• Monitoring of power supply in combination with
Power supply solar or battery power supply
The power supply of the FE260 can be either 115/230 V AC or a DC Options
voltage between 10 and 30 V DC. The latter also enables the use of • Modem modules
batteries or solar power supply. When this is the case, the voltage in
- 2G (GPRS/GSM)
combination with the volume converter can easily be monitored. If the - 3G (UMTS)
voltage falls below a certain level (either 11 V or 20 V, which can be pre- • Alternative interfaces
set), the volume converter sends out an alarm signal. - RS232 / RS422
- Ethernet (in preparation)
Versions
The FE260 is designed to be mounted on a wall. The connection cables
to the volume converter are available in a variety of lengths making the
installation of the device as easy as possible.
