Core Technical Specifications

The TSXFPACC3 Fipio insulated bus connection box provides a secure interface between field devices and the Fipio communication network. This unit measures 120 millimeters in height, 80 millimeters in width, and 60 millimeters in depth, with a total weight of approximately 0.45 kilograms. The connection box accommodates up to eight field devices through individual RJ45 ports. It provides 1500 volts of galvanic isolation between the bus network and connected equipment.

Bus Interface and Connectivity

The TSXFPACC3 serves as a central connection point for Fipio network wiring in distributed control architectures. This box features eight RJ45 ports that allow easy connection of field sensors and actuators. It transmits data at a fixed baud rate of 1 megabit per second for deterministic communication. The unit supports both bus and star wiring topologies for flexible network design. Each port includes built-in termination resistors for proper signal matching.

Galvanic Isolation and Signal Integrity

The connection box incorporates a high-voltage isolation barrier between the bus side and field device side. This isolation protects sensitive control electronics from ground potential differences and electrical noise. The TSXFPACC3 also filters incoming signals using a low-pass noise reduction circuit. It regenerates digital signals to maintain signal quality over extended cable runs. These features ensure error-free communication even in electrically noisy environments like welding or motor control areas.

Installation and Physical Design

You can mount this device onto standard DIN rails using the integrated clip mechanism. Its compact housing occupies minimal space in control cabinets or junction boxes. The unit’s front panel provides clear labeling for each port to simplify wiring identification. LED indicators display network activity, bus status, and power presence at a glance. The box includes removable terminal blocks for easy field wiring replacement and maintenance.

Power Supply and Environmental Performance

The TSXFPACC3 requires a nominal 24-volt DC supply with a tolerance range of 21.6 to 26.4 volts. It consumes a typical current of 150 milliamperes, making it suitable for shared power supplies. This unit operates stably across a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. It also withstands relative humidity from 5% to 95% without condensation formation. The connection box meets IP20 protection standards for indoor industrial environments.

Network Configuration and Diagnostics

You can connect up to 32 Fipio devices to a single network segment using multiple connection boxes. The TSXFPACC3 automatically detects connected devices and reports their status back to the master controller. It provides individual port status monitoring for rapid fault localization during maintenance. The unit also supports hot-swapping of field devices without powering down the bus. This capability minimizes downtime when replacing faulty sensors or actuators.
