FISCO - what is it?

Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe COncept (FISCO) defines the future for intrinsically safe fieldbus by removing the severe current limitation that existed under the earlier approval’s regime. More field instruments can be connected to each fieldbus trunk and the safety assessment and documentation is greatly simplified. FISCO delivers intrinsically safe fieldbus without practical constraints.

For easy integration of FISCO power supplies with DCS Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs), MTL supply Termination Boards that use the DCS client system interconnect cables. The boards support upto four power supplies and feature built-in segment terminators.

Users wanting to connect to entity-only certified devices please refer to our spur connector range.
