F 6221 (0625)
309
2 Application
The field of application of the F 6221 module is the operation with current transmitters (0/4 to
20 mA) which can be supplied via the intrinsically safe supply unit F 3325. For safety reasons,
the supply voltage of the transmitters is monitored.
The F 6221 module contains the measuring device. It can be used to measure up to eight sig-
nal inputs (I1 to I8). For monitoring the transmitter supply voltages, another eight signal inputs
(TC1 to TC8) are available. These signal inputs only monitor the switch-off limit and are not
available to the user program as measuring values.
The signal inputs "I" and "TC" are related to each other (I1 to TC1, I2 to TC2 etc.).
There are some wiring variants for different applications available, for which HIMA supplies the
corresponding cables.
