4.9.23 NAMUR terminal block (option B00)
Description
The terminal block is designed in accordance with the requirements and guidelines defined
by the standards association for measurement and control systems in the chemical industry
(NAMUR – recommendation NE37), that is, certain device functions are assigned to fixed
terminals. The inputs and outputs assigned to the terminals fulfill PELV ("protective extra-low
voltage and protective separation") requirements.
The terminal block only contains the necessary functions. Unlike the NAMUR
recommendation, optional terminals are not available.
The 24 V DC is supplied on the line side via terminals –A1-X2:1-3 (protected with 1 A within
the converter). You must ensure that the PELV safety requirements (protective extra-low
voltage with protective separation) are fulfilled.
To monitor the temperature of explosion-proof motors, option B00 features a PTC thermistor
release mechanism with PTB approval. Shutdown if limit value is exceeded. The associated
PTC sensor is connected to terminal –A1-X3:90, 91.
The terminal block is divided into three sections:
● -X1; -X2: for the power connections
● -A1-X2: for signal cables, which must fulfill PELV requirements with electrical separation.
● -A1-X3: for connecting the motor PTC thermistor detector
