Overview

The FI‑PFH‑TR‑AO‑380X Termination Board is part of Pepperl+Fuchs’ HART Multiplexer infrastructure. It serves as the interface between analog output modules and HART‑enabled actuators or transmitters, allowing centralized communication, diagnostics, and configuration.

Key benefits include:

• Multi‑channel termination for analog output signals

• Galvanic isolation between control systems and field devices

• Integrated resistors and wiring interface for proper HART signal handling

• DIN‑rail mounting for compact installation in control cabinets

• Plug‑and-play compatibility with Pepperl+Fuchs HART Multiplexer modules

This board is widely used in process industries such as oil, gas, chemical, and pharmaceuticals, where reliable HART communication and diagnostics are essential.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• PLC and DCS integration where multiple HART actuators must be connected to a central multiplexer

• Process automation systems in chemical plants and refineries

• Industrial control environments requiring safe and reliable HART communication

• Centralized diagnostics for HART‑enabled actuators and transmitters

For example, engineers use the FI‑PFH‑TR‑AO‑380X to connect analog output channels to a HART multiplexer, enabling remote configuration and diagnostics without disrupting the analog control signal.
