PI-EX-TB
and
PI-EX-TB/T
Ex basic terminal blocks are
used as base elements for the wiring for plug-in PI Ex
modules.
The base elements can be snapped onto the popular EN
DIN rails. They must be installed in the safe area or zone 2.
The signal cables are connected to the module safely using
screw connections.
The integrated test sockets and isolating connectors enable
devices for measurements, loop checks, and calibration
tasks to be coupled in the current loop without interrupting
the signal path.
The PI-EX-TB/T basic terminal block has integrated cold
junction compensation and is therefore used as the base
element for the PI-EX-THC-I (Order No. 2835079) and
PI-EX-THC-I-NC (Order No. 2835600) temperature
measuring transducers.
NOTE:
The
PI-EX-TB/T
basic terminal block is
not suitable
for the PI-EX-RPSS-I/I,
PI-EX-DO/REL-S, and PI-EX-RTD-I electronic
modules.

4.2
Safety Regulations for Installation in
Potentially Explosive Areas
The device is an associated item of equipment
with "intrinsically safe" explosion protection and is
designed for installation in zone 2, if the
symbol is printed on the block.
Observe the specified conditions for use in potentially
explosive areas.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Install the device in suitable
housing that meets
IP54 protection, minimum.
Observe the requirements of IEC 60079-14/
EN 60079-14, e.g., steel housing with a wall
thickness of 3 mm.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Disconnect the block power supply
before:
– Snapping it on or disconnecting it.
– Connecting or disconnecting cables of
non-intrinsically safe circuits.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Only use category 3G PI EX modules
(ATEX 94/9/EC).
Installation in Areas With a Danger of Dust Explosions
WARNING: Explosion hazard
The device is
not
designed for use in areas with a
danger of dust explosions.
Connection to the
intrinsically safe circuit in areas with
a danger of dust explosions
(zone 20, 21, and 22) is
only
permitted if the equipment connected to this circuit is
approved for this zone (e.g., category 1D, 2D or 3D).
4.3
Use in Safety-Related Applications
Regulations for Intrinsically Safe Circuits
WARNING: Explosion hazard
When carrying out
measurements
on the
intrinsically safe side, observe the relevant
regulations regarding the connection of
intrinsically safe equipment.
Only use devices approved for use in
intrinsically safe circuits.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
If the
device has been used in
non-intrinsically safe circuits,
it must
not
be
used again in intrinsically safe circuits.
The module must be clearly labeled as
non-intrinsically safe.
When using the PI-EX-TB in safety-related applications,
observe the requirements specified in the data sheets for
the relevant modules.

Basic Terminal Block Wiring
The PI-EX-TB and PI-EX-TB/T basic terminal blocks can be
snapped onto popular EN DIN rails.
On the field side (intrinsically safe side), the sensors and
limit switches are connected to the terminal points marked
"+" and "-" (1 and
2).
On the system side, the cables are inserted into the terminal
points marked "+" and "-" on the top of the terminal block
(3 and
4).
The power supply is connected to the connection terminal
blocks marked "UB-" and "UB+" (5 and
6).
12.4
Dimensions
When several PI basic terminal blocks are installed
side-by-side, power can be supplied using
FBST 500-PLC… plug-in bridges.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
If the
device has been used in
non-intrinsically safe circuits,
it must
not
be
used again in intrinsically safe circuits.
The module must be clearly labeled as
non-intrinsically safe.
