Dear all,
We have some Drager 3 wire gas detectors (Polytron Pulsar 2) to wire up to Foxboro FBM01 cards. This detector has 3 cable terminals for (i) 24Vdc power; (ii) analog current loop; and (iv) power and signal common. Its power supply specification is as follows:
Power Supply: Voltage: 18 - 32VDC (24VDC nominal)/Current: ¡Ü 0.95 A typical @ 24 volts DC.
In order to connect this detector to FBM01, we thought of using an external power supply unit to source the 24VDC, but I'm wondering if we can source this power from the FBM01 card itself through its +P connector. One more thing, my understanding is that there is no issue to share the common between the power and signal. Is that correct?
Regards,
