Allen-Bradley 1738-FPD

Allen-Bradley 1738-FPD | ArmorPoint Field Potential Distributor Module

Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1738-FPD is an ArmorPoint Field Potential Distributor (FPD) module designed to allow segmentation of the field power distribution in an ArmorPoint I/O system. This module enables the change of field power sources to I/O modules located to its right, facilitating logical or functional partitioning in applications with mixed I/O requirements. The 1738-FPD passes through all backplane signals except the internal power bus, allowing for versatile voltage input configurations, including both DC and AC applications.

Key Features

• Field Power Segmentation:

  • Enables partitioning of field power distribution for logical grouping of I/O modules.

  • Supports a wide range of voltage inputs: 12V DC, 24V DC (10–28.8V DC range), and 120V AC, 240V AC (50/60 Hz).

• Robust Industrial Design:

  • Meets IP65/66/67 ratings (when properly marked), providing protection against dust and water ingress.

  • Suitable for on-machine mounting in harsh industrial environments.

• High Current Capacity:

  • Supports up to 10A maximum input current, accommodating various field devices.
