Turck Diagnostic Power Conditioner (DPC) Backplane for FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1

Turck’s Diagnostic Power Conditioner (DPC) Backplane for FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 segments provides up to four segments with redundant power and 800 mA per segment. In addition to delivering reliable power, the DPC backplane communicates diagnostic data back to an asset management system via high-speed ethernet to alert operators of any communication challenges.

With a built-in, high-speed ethernet web server, operators can connect the DPC backplane to the field device and access live H1 diagnostic data from any LAN-based computer without having to install additional software. This saves time and cost by streamlining the implementation of a monitoring solution.

Turck’s diagnostic power conditioning system features an integrated diagnostics module that provides users with statistics that ease the task of diagnosing any problems associated with the FOUNDATION fieldbus physical layer. The information provided by the DPC system is therefore designed to also assist in the commissioning and maintenance of a FOUNDATION fieldbus system.
