OVERVIEW

F200-IS 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.

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 F200-IS Megablocks.

Removal from DIN-rail

Refering to Figure 4.1. push the Megablock against the edge of the DIN rail, tilt the

other side of the Megablock up and away from the DIN rail, then release the side

pressure to disengage the DIN rail clips from the DIN rail ledge.
