Fieldbus

The Polar Fieldbus I/O Module is an input and output to RS-485 device that allows one to connect non RS-485 sensors and devices in the field to the Polar Portal. The module is paired with the Polar Gateway and can send data from its I/O inputs to the Polar Portal for monitoring and control. The inputs and outputs consist of:

4x Analogue Input (4-20ma)

4x Digital Input (I/O)

4x Digital Outputs

2x Pulse Counters

Uses for the Fieldbus Module

The Polar Fieldbus unit can be used to gather information via its inputs and provide basic control via its outputs. Below is a list of input and output functionality. The same Gateway can use up to four Fieldbus Modules in series to provide as many inputs and outputs as required.

The Polar Gateways monitor the Fieldbus Module. To poll the unit via a PLC or another RS-458 master device please contact us for the list of registers.

Analogue Inputs

The module has up to 4 inputs for device monitoring. The inputs support 4-20ma. Some uses of these inputs are as follows:

Pressure sensors
Flow meters
Water quality sensors
Thermometers
Level line sensors
and more

Pulse Counters

The Fieldbus supports 2 dedicated pulse counters These can be configured on the Polar Portal to display various pulse data captured. Some of these include:

Mechanical Flow meters
Water production / totalizations
Electricity meter monitoring
Generic counters

Web Development

Digital inputs for measuring any high/low inputs. The Fieldbus Module supports up to 4 inputs, these include but are not limited to:

Run hours
on/off
Float switches
Water detection sensors
and more

Digital Outputs

The Fieldbus module supports up to 4 digital outputs. Some examples are the digital output uses are as follows:

Entry/exit point control
turning devices in the field on and off
Scheduling on/offs for lights, pumps etc.
and more
