A communication protocol converter between the AutroSafe IFG panel and the BSD-340 PowerLoop drivers. Provides a redundant field bus system with a ring loop topology. Replacing EAU-340.

The AutroFieldBus driver EAU-341 is a communication protocol converter between the AutroSafe IFG panel and the BSD-340 PowerLoop drivers and BSD-321 protocol converters. The EAU-341 provides a redundant field bus system with a ring loop topology. The AutroSafe panels can have one AutroFieldBus connected, and each AutroFieldBus can host up to 31 bus units.

The AutroFieldBus has short-circuit detection/isolation technology, which ensures that only one AutroFieldBus bus unit will be lost in case of internal failure (short-circuit). The ring loop topology ensures that no detectors/field units will be lost due to a single break or short circuit of the AutroFieldBus cable. Furthermore, the EAU-341 provides optional AutroFieldBus earth fault detection.

The AutroFieldBus cable is normally a 2-wire twisted pair category 5 copper cable; however, fibre optic cable is possible by use of separate signal converters. The AutroFieldBus uses the same guidelines as AUTROLON, in terms of cable lengths, fibre modem, and boosters.
