Introduction Remote I/O systems, consisting of I/O modules, gateways, bus termination
modules, power supplies, and a backplane, form the interface for signals to be
transmitted from the explosion hazardous area (Ex area), to the safe area (non-
hazardous area). With appropriate surrounding enclosures, remote I/O systems
can be installed in Gas-Ex areas of Zone 1. Using remote I/O, a wide range of
digital and analog sensors and actuators can be connected to process control
systems over a fieldbus. Specific measures need to be taken to disconnect I/O
modules with Ex-e front connectors during ongoing operation. To do so,
observe the safety notices in this manual. The gateway is the interface between
the I/O modules on the backplane and the process control system. Power
supplies are used to power the I/O modules and adapter/gateway.
All components of the FB remote I/O with Ex-q protection meet the FB
concept. This simplifies the evaluation of modules from an explosion
protection point of view.
This manual sets out how to work with the hardware. Refer to the software
manual for the gateway and the I/O modules for information on the
configuration of the gateway and the I/O modules.

Field Units Field units (surrounding enclosures) serve to protect all electronic components
against environmental influences and are an integral part of explosion
protection. The enclosures are made of glass fiber reinforced polyester or
stainless steel and are available in various versions. The surrounding enclosures
contain backplanes for the connection of modules. The modular concept
allows multiple surrounding enclosures to be flanged together to create the
required expansion level. Each surrounding enclosure contains Ex-e terminals
for power and communication lines. For safety, these are individually equipped
with protective covers (IP30) and touch protection.
The surrounding enclosures are equipped with a rating plate listing all safety-
relevant information, e.g., type of ignition protection, temperature class,
permissible ambient temperature and permissible power.

I/O Modules I/O modules are used to modify signals between field devices in explosion-
hazardous areas and controllers or control systems in the safe area. The slots for
the I/O modules on the backplane are equal, so you can use I/O modules with
different functions next to each other. The various I/O modules can be
plugged in.
The integrated removal device allows you to quickly install and safely replace
modules during ongoing operation if the module has intrinsically safe front
connections or no front connections.
The status of each channel is displayed using an LED. This gives your
technician clear information about the status of the field device directly on the
device itself. For more information about the status LEDs, please refer to the
respective datasheets for the modules.

The sockets on the discharge side of the module offer 1, 2, 4 and 8 channels to
connect Ex field devices. Using the single-channel modules for controlling
valves, including feedback, two additional binary input signals can be
transmitted from the field. The portfolio is supplemented with 2-channel
modules with shutdown input for emergency shutdown.
When modules are replaced, the new module automatically adopts the settings
of its predecessor. This prevents errors when replacing modules.
The 4-channel universal module processes analog inputs and outputs
depending on the setting. Each of the four channels can be configured
independently of the others.
Figure 8 - 1718 Ex I/O Module
Design and Dimensions of the Modules
The FB remote I/O system is designed in such a way that each I/O module can
be connected to the I/O slot it requires on the backplane. The slots on the
backplane are limited. Depending on the size, for example, a base backplane
can accommodate max. 24 narrow or 12 wide I/O modules.
Power supplies, adapters, and bus termination modules are assigned to fixed
slots. To avoid confusion, these are mechanically coded. Adapters and power
supplies are always wide modules. Bus termination modules are
narrow modules.
Both the I/O modules and the adapters and power supplies are equipped with
LEDs on the front that display the device status.
The I/O modules have connections on the front to which the relevant field
devices are connected. On the back of the I/O modules there is a coding pin

that prevents an I/O module from being accidentally inserted into a slot that is
intended for an adapter or a power supply.
Figure 9 - Narrow Modules
Figure 10 - Wide modules
Adapter Adapters form the interface between the I/O modules and the process control
system. The adapter converts the protocol of the bus integrated in the
backplane to the protocol of the higher-level bus system.
Another adapter variant is the gateway. This is described in more detail below.
The gateway (check if there’s a gateway module) can be operated directly via
the touch screen on the front, meaning it can be configured directly in the
field. In addition, the device status is displayed using the four LEDs below the
touch screen.
WARNING: Explosion hazard as a result of removing coding pins!
Removing the coding pins means explosion protection can no longer be
guaranteed.
Never remove the coding pins from the module.

Accessories Field Wiring
The following accessories are available for field wiring.
Terminal Blocks
Terminal blocks are wired to the field devices, attached to the front sockets of
the I/O modules, and tightened using the side screws. Terminal blocks can
come in the form of screw terminals, front screw terminals, or spring terminals.
Use blue terminal blocks for intrinsically safe circuits.
WARNING: Explosion hazard in Zone 1.
When pulling out an M12 connector in Zone 1, a spark may form that ignites an
explosive mixture.
• Do not pull out M12 connectors in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Use only original Pepperl+Fuchs cables. (should we write this as cables from
the manufacturer Rockwell Automation?)
WARNING: Property damage due to incorrect terminal assignment.
Incorrect terminal assignment and incorrectly positioned plug-in jumpers can
cause damage to the gateway.
• Ensure that the terminal assignment of the gateway is correct. Refer to the
backplane information in the Technical Data, 1718-TD001. Terminals 39 and
40 must be inserted when using the Ex-q gateway.
• Ensure that the plug-in jumper is correctly positioned. Refer to the
backplane information in the Technical Data, 1718-TD001.

Coding pins provide a unique assignment between I/O modules and terminal
blocks or the associated field devices. To do this, the coding pins are pushed
into the grooves provided in the front sockets of the I/O modules. This

Watchdog plugs
The watchdog plug is used with digital outputs with a feedback input
(FB2201B - FB2213E). The watchdog plug sends the output signal from the I/
O module back to its input channel, making it possible to check the function of
the I/O module, as well as the communication between the process control
system and the I/O module.

Resistor network
Most I/O modules have a line fault detection function that can recognize a
lead breakage or a short circuit.
If binary I/O modules are used, for example with a mechanical contact, an
additional resistor network must be installed to ensure that the line fault
detection function can work correctly. Using the additional resistor network,
the electronics can distinguish between a closed switch and a short circuit.
To do this, the resistor network must be positioned directly on the field device.
WARNING: Risk of confusing device connections.
When coding the front sockets of the I/O modules, ensure that the codes are
mutually exclusive. Otherwise there is the danger of incorrect mapping between
devices and circuits in explosion-hazardous areas.

Cordsets
Cordset for backplane
The following table shows an overview of possible cordsets. Cordsets establish
a local connection between a base backplane and an extension backplane. If a
base backplane is extended with an extension backplane with additional I/O
modules and power supplies, the backplane cordset ensures data exchange
between the adapters on the base backplane and the I/O modules on the
extension backplane. The length of the backplane cordset is up to 3 m.
Table 7 - Overview of Cordsets
Cordset for Gateways
There are two types of cordsets for gateways. One with a wired connection in
Ex-i protection and one with M12 threaded plugs in Ex-e protection. The
gateway cordset provides a local connection between two gateways. If two
WARNING: Explosion hazard through use of incorrect cordset.
The use of incorrect cables in a potentially explosive atmosphere can create
sparks that can ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
