Bus termination
The start and end of each fieldbus segment are always to be terminated with a bus ter-
minator.
• In the case of a branched bus segment the measuring device furthest from the seg-
ment connector represents the end of the bus.
• If the fieldbus is extended with a repeater then the extension must also be terminated
at both ends.
Wiring example
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 can be made for use in areas with an explosion risk. For
non-intrinsically safe wiring in Zone 2, the bus power supply is carried out as in Fig. 4.
It is recommended that the cable shielding be grounded at both ends (refer to Fig. 5,
Page 13).
