An Intrinsically Safe (IS) application provides Intrinsically Safe power to fieldbus devices located in hazardous areas. A redundant pair of H1 with Integrated Power cards and one or more FieldConnex® FieldBarriers provide Intrinsically Safe power for both Intrinsically Safe entity applications and FISCO (Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe COncept) applications. Refer to the Pepperl+Fuchs (P+F) documentation for information on these products. Ensure that the fieldbus devices and all components used in the application are rated and certified for IS applications. The FieldConnex® FieldBarriers are Emerson Alliance Program products.
