FDN20 CONNECTS EVERY PUSHBUTTON TO DEVICENET™
Minneapolis, MN–September 30, 2003–InterlinkBT™ announces their new FDN20 DeviceNet station to connect every pushbutton to a DeviceNet™ network. The FDN20-4S-4XSG-E is the perfect pushbutton solution. It is compact, rugged, and inexpensive, and has a built-in DeviceNet eurofast® connector. The FDN20 easily fits into any standard pushbutton enclosure. Mounting the FDN20 is easy.
Simply drill a hole in the center of the bottom of the pushbutton enclosure. The FDN20's DeviceNet™ eurofast® connector is then inserted into the hole and the lock nut is tightened. The DeviceNet eurofast® connector extends out the base of the pushbutton enclosure and is ready for connection to a network drop cable. The I/O screw terminals are easily accessible inside the enclosure. No other cables are needed.
The FDN20 powers its input and outputs from DeviceNet™. This is ideal for dry contact inputs and indicator outputs. The FDN20 is very rugged. The eurofast® connector is rated IP67; so you can create a sealed pushbutton enclosure. It has an operating temperature range of -25C to 70C.
The printed circuit board is coated to protect electronics against condensation within the enclosure. A version of the FDN20 is also available without the eurofast® connector. The FDN20-4S-4XSG-E is extremely flexible. It has 4 dedicated inputs and 4 inputs or outputs, and can handle any of the following I/O mixes: 8 in, 7 in/1 out, 6 in/2 out, 5 in/3 out, or 4 in/4 out. InterlinkBT is a leading supplier of advanced device level bus solutions to help manufacturers improve their automated processes, products and profits.
