Anew range of eight costeffective
variable Profibus PA
indicators has been
introduced by BEKA associates and
feature 20mm high digits and a 31
segment bargraph.Models include
field and panel mounting,
intrinsically safe, Type n and safe
area indicators.

Each indicator may be configured
as a fieldbus Listener or as a Node.

When used as a Listener the
indicator is not visible to the fieldbus
host, may not be subject to a Node
Licence Fee, and is configured and
controlled via the instrument’s push
buttons.

As a fieldbus, Node configuration
is via the fieldbus host, but the
indicator’s fieldbus address may be
entered via the instrument’s push
buttons, which may also be used to
return operator acknowledgements
to the host.

Intrinsically safe models have
ATEX, IECEx, FM and cFM
approvals; the Type n indicator has
ATEX and IECEx approval
permitting installation in Zone 2
without an intrinsically safe segment
isolator.
