F300 Megablocks are DIN-rail mounted, device couplers for Foundation™ fieldbus
or Profibus PA networks. They allow connection of field devices to the segment
trunk cable and provide short-circuit protection to the segment.
Megablocks minimize hand wiring and allow individual devices to be added to
and removed from the segment without disrupting network communication.
Megablocks are available in four, eight, and twelve port versions. Multiple
Megablocks are easily wired together to allow larger segments to be constructed.
Each F300 Megablock includes an F97 Terminator for installation in the trunk
terminals, which is clearly marked with a large ‘T’ for easy identification by field
personnel.
Individual surge-protector modules (FS32) can also be fitted to any of the
Megablock fieldbus terminals to provide protection against induced surges and
transients that can potentially destroy or degrade certain components inside the
F300 Megablocks.
