Use a 5069-FPD Field Potential Distributor to Establish New SA 
Power Buses
A 5069-FPD field potential distributor lets you change the field-side power 
distribution source for Compact 5000 I/O modules to the right of the field 
power distributor. The field potential distributor passes MOD power bus 
signals through to the next module in the system.
You can use a 5069-FPD field potential distributor to establish a new SA power 
bus in a system. The field potential distributor blocks the current that passes 
across the SA power bus to the left of the field potential distributor. It then 
establishes a new SA power bus for modules to the right. 
The new SA power bus extends to the last module in the system or until 
another field potential distributor establishes another SA power bus.
The SA power bus that a field potential distributor establishes functions in the 
same way as the SA power bus that a controller or adapter establishes.
