Triple Channel FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus to Current Converter

The FI302 converts a FIELDBUS signal into a 4 to 20 mA signal. If the frequency converter does not have FIELDBUS capability, the bus signal can be converted into a conventional 4 to 20 mA by the FI302. The FIELDBUS signal can, for example, be a request from the bus to a frequency converter to set a conveyor speed to 3.4 ft/s.

This instrument has three independent channels, which means that three 4 to 20 mA outputs are available.
