4.5.3 Connecting the Multiplexer Devices to the Termination Board
The device is connected to the termination board via a 26-pin ribbon cable. The device has a
26-pin IDC socket on the front of the device for this purpose. 16 cables are intended for
the HART signal of the analog measuring circuits of the field devices. The remaining 10 cables
are connected to ground. For the assignment of the IDC socket, see chapter 9.2.
Pepperl+Fuchs provides special termination boards. Various connection options are available
for these termination boards.
Connecting Multiplexer Devices, Field Devices, and the Termination Board
Connect the multiplexer device to the termination board via the 26-pin ribbon cable K-HM26.

Danger!
Explosion hazard from exposed conductors
Exposed conductors of inadequately attached cables can cause sparks that can ignite
the surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere.
When installing the device ensure that the cables are adequately attached.
