FISCO Rules
The FISCO Concept allows the interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus to associated apparatus
not specifically examined in such combination. The criterion for such interconnection is that the
voltage (Ui), the current (Ii) and the power (Pi) which intrinsically safe apparatus can receive and
remain intrinsically safe, considering faults, must be equal or greater than the voltage (Uo, Voc or Vt),
the current (Io, Isc or It) and the power (Po) which can be provided by the associated apparatus
(supply unit). In addition, the maximum unprotected residual capacitance (Ci) and inductance (Li) of
each apparatus (other than terminators) connected to the Fieldbus must be less than or equal to 5 nF
and 10 μH respectively.
In each I.S. Fieldbus segment only one active source, normally the associated apparatus, is allowed to
provide the necessary power for the Fieldbus system. The allowed voltage (Uo, Voc or Vt) of the
associated apparatus used to supply the bus cable must be limited to the range of 14 V d.c. to 17.5 V d.c.
All other equipment connected to the bus cable has to be passive, meaning that the apparatus is not
allowed to provide energy to the system, except a leakage current of 50 μA for each connected device.
Separately powered equipment needs galvanic isolation to ensure the intrinsically safe Fieldbus
circuit remains passive.
The cable used to interconnect the devices needs to comply with the following parameters:
Loop resistance R': 15....150 Ω/km
Inductance per unit length L': 0.4....1 mH/km
Capacitance per unit length C': 45....200 nF/km C' = C' line/line + 0.5 C' line/screen, if both lines are
floating or C' = C' line/line + C'line/screen, if the screen is connected to one line.
Length of spur cable: max. 60 m
Length of trunk cable: max. 1 km in IIC and 5 km in IIB
Length of splice: max = 1 m
Terminators
At the end of each trunk cable an FM Approved line terminator with the following parameters is
suitable:
R = 90...100 Ω
C = 0 ....2.2 μF

Vmax: 32 V
Ci: 3.52 nF
Li: 0 µH
Notes:
1. Installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (NFPA70),
ANSI/ISA-RP12.06.01, and relevant local codes.
2. The following conditions must be satisfied.
