Lesson 6 How Fieldbus Works Field Connecting Instruments As noted, each fieldbus device connects to the segment in parallel, Via adrop on the fieldbus segment called a spur. The simplest spur connection is a T. The problem with simple T connections (Figure 3-6-4) is that if any one of the devices or cables short out, it takes down the entire segment. A short can occur during field maintenance of an instrument, from an accident in the field, corrosion causing electrical problems, or a host of other possibilities.Short-circuit protection is therefore a requirement for proper fieldbus implementat
