The Autronica BSD-340/1 is a PowerLoop Driver used in the AutroSafe fire and gas detection system. It works as a protocol converter between AutroFieldBus and PowerLoop, providing power and communication to detectors and other loop devices.
Features
- Acts as a protocol converter between AutroFieldBus and PowerLoop.
- Provides both power and communication for PowerLoop devices.
- Supports a 30 V DC / 100 W PowerLoop in ring topology.
- PowerLoop is galvanically isolated from the rest of the system.
- Supports detectors and other loop units, including 4–20 mA interfaces.
- Includes a 9-pin D-sub service port for commissioning and maintenance.
- AutroFieldBus address can be configured using switches.
- Designed for 19-inch rack mounting.
- Provides fault indication for earth faults, PowerLoop open/short circuits, missing units, output-voltage faults and internal faults.
Typical Applications
- AutroSafe fire detection systems
- Marine fire and gas detection systems
- Industrial fire detection installations
- PowerLoop detector networks
- Flame and gas detector interfacing
- 4–20 mA field-device integration
- Shipboard fire & gas monitoring systems
- 19-inch rack-mounted control panels
