The 3-wire AI Fused Injected Power Terminal Block
is designed for 3 wire analog transmitters and can be
used with the AI 4-20mA HART CHARM. The field power is
supplied from the injected power bus on the baseplate,
but the power is not removed from the field device when
the AI CHARM is removed from the baseplate. There is
a Green LED on the terminal block that indicated power
is supplied to the field and the 2A fuse also functions
as a means to disconnect power from the field device.
Although this terminal block was introduced in 2017. it
is backwards compatible to any version of DeltaV with
Electronic Marshalling.
Although any signal type can be installed in any location on
the CHARM baseplates, it is recommended that AC voltage
circuits be separated from low voltage signals to comply
with safety recommendations and to mitigate induced noise
in the signals. Standard Terminal blocks, Fused Injected
Power terminal blocks and Relay Output Blocks can be used
on the same carrier, typically, to allow the use of DO 24V
DC isolated CHARMs on higher wattage and 3-wire devices
alongside of standard 24V DC instrumentation signals or
relay contacts.
