FLD-SMP-MB Control Module for Panel Mount

FLD-SMP-MB is a high-performance controlling module designed for mounting in your existing or new enclosure. It was specially designed to interface with Naftosense ERBUS proprietary communications and low voltage power to related monitoring modules. FLD-SMP-MB offers convenient DIN-rail mounting in any approved enclosure.

Each individual FLD-SMP-MB can be connected to 50 monitoring modules. Each monitoring module can be connected to up to 8 individual sensors not exceeding 82 ft (25 m) each. Because the ERBUS provides both power and communications you can connect monitoring modules to the proprietary bus eliminating the need of additional infrastructure. The maximum distance covered with wired layout(sensor and jumper) is more than 2 miles!

With optional loopback wiring increases the system reliability in case of individual cable breaks and shorts. High-level interfacing to DCS/SCADA is implemented through the RS-485 serial output with Modbus RTU, or through two dry contacts - one SPDT relay for leak alarms, and a second SPDT relay for trouble/power failure.

FLD-SMP-MB must use a Zenner Barrier and mounted in an approved enclosure for classified locations. Designed to be used with all Naftosense sensing cables and point sensors. Compatible monitoring modules are FLD-MXM and FLD-FBS.
