Intrinsic Safety Barrier
Specification No.: 02125-004
These commodities, technology or software if exported from the United States must be in accordance
with the Bureau of Industry, and Security, Export Administration regulations. Diversion contrary to U.S.
law is prohibited.
This Intrinsic Safety Barrier Module is the perfect complement
to BEI’s Intrinsically Safe Encoders and, when used together,
constitutes a completely engineered solution for encoder
operation in Class I and Class II, Division 1 (Zone 0) Hazardous
Environments. This single barrier provides both power and
signal isolation for an incremental encoder with differential
quadrature outputs and an index. This all-in-one approach
saves the cost, inconvenience and system design time needed
when using separate power and signal barriers. This barrier
is galvanically isolated which eliminates the added cost of
maintaining a high integrity earth ground. With differential line
driver outputs, this barrier can be used to carry signals reliably
up to 500 feet with a bandwidth of up to 250 kHz. It is designed
around a standard DIN Rail mounting (Type EN 50022, 35 mm
X 7.5 mm) for easy installation in standard enclosures. A length
of DIN rail is supplied with each module. The module simply
snaps directly to the DIN rail and is ready to use.
The Intrinsic Safety Barrier Module is certified to be installed in
Class I, Div. 2 (Zone 2) areas.
When properly connected, differential data signals have an
inherent immunity to noise since it is rejected as common
mode. However if a connection between the encoder and the
barrier is broken or improperly terminated it can act as an
antenna and still create a signal. An open wire detection (ISD)
option is available on BEI’s Intrinsically Safe Barriers (28V/V
and 28V/5 only). In the event that the data line is cut or not
properly connected the ISD option can detect a change in the
impedance of the connection and cause the output data on
both legs of the differential signal to go low. This creates an
erroneous logic state that can be used by the operator to halt or
modify a process.
