CompactLogix 5480 System Chapter 1
Use a 5069-FPD Field Potential Distributor to Create a New SA Power Bus
You can use a 5069-FPD field potential distributor to add an SA power bus to a
CompactLogix 5480 system.
The field potential distributor blocks the current that passes across the SA
power bus to the left of the field potential distributor. Then the field potential
distributor 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.
Figure 7 shows a CompactLogix 5480 system that uses a 5069-FPD field
potential distributor to create a second SA power bus.
