2. Product description
2.1 Ordering code
This operating instructions manual applies to the following types:
PFB-SD-4M12-SD
Option Description
PFB Passive fieldbox
SD Evaluation side: SD interface
4M12 4 device connectors for M12 connector
SD Device connection: SD interface
2.2 Destination and use
The passive fieldbox PFB-SD-4M12-SD is designed for the connection
of 4 electronic safety relays in SD interface version of the manufacturer
SCHMERSAL. It serves to connect up to 4 safety switchgear units in
series.
In order to increase the safety function, it is possible to connect multiple
passive fieldboxes in series.
The secure OSSD outputs of the connected safety relays are switched
in series and wired to a compatible security analysis by the passive
fieldbox PFB-SD-4M 12-SD.
The non-secure SD interface signals of the devices are connected in
series and wired to an SD Gateway.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in
accordance with the relevant standards and the required
safety level.

Protection class IP67 is only reached if all M12 connectors
and blanking plugs, as well as the inspection window are
properly fastening with screws.
All fieldboxes have a good resistance against chemicals
and oil. When used in aggressive media (.e.g chemicals,
oils, lubricants and coolants in high concentrations) the
material resistance must in each case be checked in
advance for the specific application.
