Can cFP-AI-111 power a sensor and remain IS

[dhibarrett]

We aree evaluating using Compact FieldPoint in a hazardous environment and have a couple of questions:

1.Is it possoble for the cFP-AI-111 to power a sensor and remain intrinsically safe? If so, what is required?
2.Is there a cFP module that will work with a potentiometer and/or Wheston Bridge type sensor?

Regards,

Dear Barrett,

You can power your cFP-AI-111 using Figure 5 from the Operating Instructions. Use a wire to connect V and Vsup, C and COM, and wire your sensor like Figure 5. What do you mean by intrinsically safe? Would this setup work?

As for the different cFP modules, take a look at the cFP-RTD-124 and the cFP-SG-140. 

Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Marni S.
