The new FieldConnex fieldbus diagnostic handheld device (FDH-1) from Pepperl+Fuchs is designed to make commissioning and troubleshooting a fieldbus installation easier than ever.
The mobile device can check any fieldbus segment quickly and easily with the simple press of a button. Just connect the handheld to any fieldbus segment; no PC required.
This connection enables the handheld to show whether or not there are any errors in the physical layer installation prior to commissioning a segment. If there are errors, it will pinpoint what they are, where they are, and how they can be corrected. This saves time and money during installation.
The FDH-1 can also be used to check existing cables to determine whether they are suitable for a fieldbus installation. In existing installations, the FDH-1 can check the short-circuit protection at the spur connections.
The FDH-1 is approved for use in all hazardous areas and for all types of explosion protection.
