FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus - User Manual
10 Version EN-112021-1.30.3
2.4 Safety precautions
Use in hazardous areas
The FG-200 is an electrical equipment with degree of protection Ex ec, approved for use in Zone 2
hazardous areas or in the safe area. The four FF-H1 interfaces are designed according to the protection
method Ex ic. Only certified circuits with an according protection method shall be connected to these FF-
H1 interfaces.
Special hints for safe use
§ Before setting the FG-200 into operation, the corresponding field has to be marked (e.g. if the
device is used in an IC environment, mark the upper field on the type label).
§ Use an appropriate permanent pen for signing, e.g. an etching pen.
§ More than one marking is not allowed. If you need a second marking, you must replace the
existing equipment with a new one.
§ An equipment which has been operated under non-intrinsically safe conditions is no longer
permitted to be used under intrinsically safe conditions.
The FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus is only approved for intended and appropriate use. In case of noncompliance,
the warranty and manufacturer’s liability do no longer apply!
CAUTION
During operation, the device's surface will be heated up. Avoid direct contact. When servicing,
turn off the power supply and wait until surface has cooled down.
Note
Do not open the housing of the FG-200. It does not contain any parts that need to be
maintained or repaired. In the event of a fault or defect, remove the device and return it to
the vendor. Opening the device will void the warranty!

Chapter 3 - Installation
Version EN-112021-1.30.3 11
3Installation
3.1 Hardware installation
Note
With an ambient temperature above 55 °C at the place of installation it is likely that the
temperatures of connecting cables will increase if the cables are installed in an unfavourable
position. In such cases, measure the temperature to ensure that the service temperature of
the cables is not exceeded (i.e. 80 °C), or use cables sustaining high temperatures of at least
90 °C.
3.1.1 Installation in hazardous locations
The FG-200 may be used in hazardous locations and is certified according to ATEX, IEC and North America
Approval cULus.
WARNING
Use only according to operating conditions from instructions! Use the FG-200 in accordance
with its designated use only! Otherwise, the manufacturer’s liability and warranty will expire.
The device is only to be used according to the operating conditions described in these
instructions..
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect energized conductors! Be aware that energized conductors are
not to be connected or disconnected! This can lead to danger of life if potentially explosive
atmosphere is present there at that time!.
3.1.1.1 General requirements
Following general requirements must be observed while installing FG-200 on hazardous locations:
§ The details of this document must be observed along with the conditions for use and the applicable
details stated on the marking and type labels of each.
§ Any selection and operation of the device must be done as per the technical rules.
§ Adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unintended actuation or impairment of the device.
§ Connectors must not be connected or disconnected when area is known to be hazardous. This can be
life threatening in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Open or not securely closed sockets shall not
be energized in the Ex-atmosphere!
§ Ensure the installed equipment comply with the types of protection applicable to the corresponding
zones.
§ All connected electrical equipment must be suitable for the respective intended use.
§ The operator must ensure protection against lightning in compliance with the locally applicable
regulations.
§ Electrostatic aspects must be considered when mounting the bus-modules. Electrostatic charges have
to be prevented.

FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus - User Manual
12 Version EN-112021-1.30.3
§ In explosion group IIC and Zone 2 no protected plastic surfaces > 20 cm2 are allowed; in IIB or dust-Ex,
100 cm2 may be reached.
§ The hazard of any objects falling onto the bus-module must be prevented.
§ The FG-200 does not meet the requirements of impact protection and IP54 (according to IEC 60529).
It must be installed in a protective enclosure which meets the requirements for resistance to impact
and IP as stated in section 26.4 of IEC/EN 60079-0. This enclosure must be fully mounted and intact. If
the enclosure is damaged, the operation is not permitted.
§ Transient protection must be provided at a level not exceeding 140% of the peak rated voltage value
at the supply terminals to the equipment.
§ When removing the packaging ensure that no dirt can enter the enclosure or the plugs.
§ If any vibration during the operation may cause parts of the plugs to loosen, then the plugs have to be
provided with a light firm varnish used for securing screws. An extraction force of 0.5 Nm has to be
achieved at an equivalent thread.
§ To circuits of Zone 2 only such equipment may be connected that is suitable for operation in this zone
and has been certified accordingly.
§ Components may only be replaced by original spare parts which are also approved for the use in Ex-
atmospheres. Spare parts are ordered as complete units giving the material number stated on the
device (marking, type label).
§ Only such auxiliary components may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres which meet all
requirements of European and national directives and legislation.
§ The environmental conditions specified in the manual have to be followed strictly.
§ The FG-200 is not to be used in systems where cathodic systems for corrosion protection are in place.
Although special precautions may allow the use in such systems (additional earthing bridges), the
manufacturer has to be consulted in each case.
§ The operator has to provide measures for protection against lightning.
§ According to the local conditions and in compliance with the environmental rules, the operator is
responsible to visually inspect the system and to remove dust settlements in a regularly interval (every
6 months).
§ The company installing the device has to ensure that the transient characteristic is limited to 40%
above the service voltage.
§ Additional precautions have to be taken, if the presence of hydrosulfide, ethylene oxide and/or
carbon monoxide is to be expected: those substances are of a vary low ignition energy.
§ Icing is not permitted.

3.1.3 Connection diagram
The following connection diagram shows the physical interfaces of the FG-200.
3.1.4 Connecting the power supply
1. Connect the FG-200 to a 24 V DC power supply.
2. Use different or redundant power supplies for redundant FG-200s.
3. Turn on the power supply. The boot process takes approx. 50 seconds. For indication of proper
operation of a FG-200 acting in non-redundant mode or as primary device in redundant mode refer to
LED status indicators .
The supply voltage (18 VDC .... 32 VDC) is connected by a 3-pole terminal block. The power supply is
connected to the plug connector via flexible wires with a cross section of 0.75 to 1.5 mm². The ground

As indicated in the connection diagram, the power can be applied alternatively by a special
DIN rail connector (Rail Power Supply). For further information contact Softing Industrial
Automation.
3.1.5 Installation positions
The FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus can be mounted horizontally and vertically. Depending on the installation
position, different ambient operating temperatures (Ta) are allowed.
Minimum distance
Provide a minimum distance of 50 mm to the air inlet and air outlet to ensure natural
convection.
Rotated installation position
The maximum permissible ambient temperature values also apply to a 180° rotated
installation position.

3.1.6 Connecting to the network
1. Connect the FG-200 to the Modbus TCP network to one of the two Ethernet ports (ETH1 or ETH2).
2. Connect each link of your FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 network via a power conditioner to a Fieldbus
Channel port of your gateway (CH0 to CH3).
Note
When using the FG-200 as linking device you can broadcast High Speed Ethernet (HSE) and
Modbus TCP over the same Ethernet port.
