The FCS-9000 series that provide strength, durability and corrosion

resistance to many chemicals and their vapours. The enclosures are

manufactured from 316 stainless steel to provide the highest level of

corrosion protection.

A wide choice of glands is available, ready fitted to the junction box:

stainless steel and nickel-plated brass enabling a high quality seal with

standard or wire-armoured cables. All glanding is in the base of the

enclosure with a minimum of 75mm of clearance between the base of

the enclosure and other components. This makes glanding much easier,

especially when terminating armoured cable.

Significant cost savings can be made on a fieldbus project by selecting

standard, and proven, fieldbus junction box designs. It eliminates the

need for custom designs when choosing junction boxes for fieldbus

applications and saves the cost of managing the specification and the

eventual procurement of the junction boxes.

To select the Process JB appropriate to your application; first

determine the number of fieldbus device connections, and hence the

number of spur connections required in the junction box. This will

also define which Megablocks (and maybe terminators) are required.

Use the application examples to help you. For MTL831C applications,

the enclosure choice will depend on the number of transmitters

(maximum 2 x MTL831C) to be fitted inside the enclosure.

Identify any additional items that will need to be housed in the

enclosure, e.g. terminals for terminating spare cables, Ex ic adaptor,

additional terminators, etc. Calculate how much DIN rail they will

require. Add this to length of the Megablock(s) and choose an

enclosure with sufficient rail length.
