We are Engineering a Process Plant where the Hazardous Area Classification can be up to Zone 1 (Hydrogenation reactor) We want to use the Bus Technology. Foundation Fieldbus as well as ASI Bus.
We understand that FF can be used in Hazardous area.
Similarly can we use ASI Bus in Hazardous area? Are the Quick Connectors Cable can be made available in Hazardous area Specification? Is there any Distance Limitation if we have to use the ASI bus in Hazardous area as well as number of slaves that can be on single segment? Can Power still be drawned from the ASI Bus? Is there any power Limiting element to be added on the Trunk Line? Which are the Manufacturers for that?
