Belden Offers a Complete Line of DataBus Cables for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Applications with C(UL) and UL Tray Ratings, Expanded Multi-pair Capabilities and Expanded Temperature and Use Ratings. Fieldbus Type A cables provide installation flexibility in many different environments, including outdoors and where multiple or extended cable runs are required. Fieldbus Type B and high-speed cables are also available.
Recently, Belden expanded its line of FOUNDATION Fieldbus cables with Type A C(UL) and UL tray-rated cables. These cables offer Belden reliability in harsh environments such as the oil sands of Canada and other oil, gas and petrochemical operations. The cables comply with both Canadian and US regulatory requirements and meet the Fieldbus IEC 61158-2 (ISA/SP-50) specification.The single- and multi-pair cables come with XLP insulation and comply with both Canadian and US regulatory requirements. XLP offers improved cut through and chemical resistance compared to other insulators.
Belden standard single and multi-pair cables are available with an easily identifiable orange jacket, or a blue jacket for Intrinsically Safe (IS) applications. They are UL approved for direct burial, are oil and sunlight resistant, RoHS compliant and CE approved. XLP insulation provides additional physical enhancements of the conductors including better cut through and chemical resistance.
The cable provides you with a large range of features:
Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications protocol that standardizes the interconnection of field devices at a communications rate of 31.25 kB/s. The field devices are accessible to communication networks (running at 1 or 2.5 Mb/s), through linking devices. By distributing control into field devices, Fieldbus users reduce the amount of I/O and control equipment required. A Fieldbus-compliant twisted-pair of wires carries signals between the field devices and the networks. Fieldbus also reduces the number of Intrinsically Safe (IS) barriers, cabinets, cables and connectors required. Since the wire pair can support multiple functions within a single device (such as diagnostics, control and auto error correction), the twisted-pair cable becomes an integral part of a more efficient, more reliable, and more cost-effective industrial control system.
