Minneapolis, Minn. – TURCK introduces JRBS junction bricks for FOUNDATION fieldbus™, an innovative product family providing quick and easy connection of multiple devices to the main fieldbus trunk. JRBS junction bricks are available with 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 ports and feature removable terminals for simple, efficient installation and wiring modification in tight spaces. These terminals are located on both sides of the brick to enable easy access for wiring from either direction–and they securely screw into place–eliminating the risk of becoming disconnected in high vibration environments. Plus, JRBS junction bricks can be DIN-mounted vertically or horizontally.
JRBS junction bricks provide short circuit protection for all ports, as well as visual status with bright LED indicators located on each spur. This allows devices to be added and removed without disruption to the network. An optional overmolded, pluggable terminating resistor is also available for use with the three pole terminal blocks.
Applications. IP20 JRBS junction bricks deliver a reliable, network-enabled solution for remote I/O systems in numerous industries, including:
* Oil and gas
* Petrochemical
* Power generation and distribution
* Pharmaceutical
* Water processing and management
In addition, several features of the JRBS junction brick make it particularly simple to set-up and use:
* Delivers a complete FOUNDATION fieldbus solution from field devices to control systems
* Available in 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 port models
* Features removable terminals for easier access and wiring in confined areas
* Offers simple vertical or horizontal DIN-rail mounting configuration
* Pluggable terminating resistor available
