Diagnosis Communication Module

The Diagnosis Communication Module (DCM) 9415 transmits fieldbus diagnostics data, measured by the Fieldbus Power Supply 9412, via FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus H1 to a host and / or asset management system.

The Fieldbus Power Supplies are continously measuring all the relevant physical layer values acc. to NAMUR NE 123. The DCM collects the values from up to 8 segments and transmits the diagnostics information via one of the installed FF H1 segments or alternatively via a dedicated diagnostic segment.

The integration into host and asset management tools is done via an EDD, offering sophisticated possibilities for setting alarm and pre-alarm levels, obtaining life maintenance data from the bus and creating detailed reports.
