Stonel™ FieldBlock (FN) enclosures

Rugged corrosion proof enclosure for field networking applications

The Stonel FieldBlock enclosure is designed for use in general purpose, nonincendive and intrinsically safe process applications. It may be used with flexible or hard conduit wiring systems. With its rugged corrosion proof enclosure, variety of module and connector configurations, and its mounting adaptability, it will prove invaluable for field networking projects.

Features

The FieldBlock platform is designed to interconnect field devices to the communication network in nonincendive, intrinsically safe, and general purpose applications. It may be used for flexible and hard conduit wiring systems. With its rugged corrosion proof enclosure, it will prove invaluable in field networking applications. Components are preinstalled in the enclosure:

  • Drop connectors
  • Switched drop connectors
  • AS-interface I/O modules

Specifications

Functions: Drop connectors and  I/O modules
Communication options: AS-Interface, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Profibus, Modbus, DeviceNet
Temperature range: -40 °C ... +80 °C  / -40 °F ... +176 °F
Material: Epoxy coated aluminum housing with polycarbonate cover

Hazardous area approvals: Class I, Division 2

1. Durable corrosion proof enclosure is made of epoxy-coated anodized aluminum with an impact-resistant Lexan polycarbonate cover.
2. Sealed for heavy washdown applications the enclosure is rated for NEMA 4, 4X & 6 (IP67).
3. Suitable for hazardous environments in nonincendive (Div 2/Zone 2) applications.
4. Multiple connector/cable gland options include quick connectors (mini or micro), cable glands, 1/2” NPT or M20. Special models with varying combinations may also be specified for unique requirements.
5. Fast, convenient wiring is possible with easy access fully labeled terminal blocks, and the quick entry durable hinged cover.
6. Space-efficient design minimizes external dimensions while offering ample room for wire connection and drop switching.
7. Clear operation status is displayed using LED system to show drop connector, bus power, and short circuit status. LED display may also be conveniently viewed while the enclosure cover is closed and sealed.
8. Bus power monitoring system provides a flashing LED warning display if voltage levels fall outside specified limits. This aids in trouble-shooting and preempts potential problems.
9. Wide variety of drop connectors includes passive, protected, and switched options.
10. Individually switched drops enable each circuit to be independently energized or de-energized from the bus, saving valuable maintenance and set-up time.
11. Safety lock provision adds an extra measure of security for lock out, tag out conditions.

Wide variety of Drop Connectors, I/O modules and Repeaters in a compact package

The FN features a full range of enclosed solutions for network drop connections, I/O modules, and repeaters / power conditioners, for process networks like AS-Interface, Foundation Fieldbus, DeviceNet, Profibus, etc.

Cable glands

Glands with rubber grommets compress wires tightly, providing excellent mechanical strength and a waterproof seal.

Connectors

Mini- and micro-connectors provide a convenient, secure method for disconnecting spurs from the bus trunk.

NPT or M20 conduits

1/2” NPT or M20 conduits are available to attach to traditional hard conduit systems
