We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "FISCO",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Field device coupler Exi units on an Exe fieldbus from
Stahl, which we summarised at the time by saying "Connect intrinsically safe Foundation Fieldbus H1 or Profibus PA devices to up to four spurs, enabling a quick and reliable link-up to a non-intrinsically safe Exe fieldbus trunk".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Dramatic price drop for Profibus field displays from
Beka associates: "At the Profibus International User Conference Exhibition on 26/27 June, BEKA associates will show their popular ranges of multi-variable display systems for use on Profibus PA networks".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Moore Industries International
concerning its Route-Master
- take a look at Route-Master fieldbus device coupler FM approval
which says: "The MooreHawke Route-Master fieldbus system, composed of power supplies and device couplers, has been approved by Factory Mutual as an intrinsically-safe apparatus for use in the US and Canada".
Take a look also at the news release from MTL Instruments Group, MTL launches second generation fieldbus barrier,
as well as e-training course on 'Pneumatic Valve Actuation' from K Controls,
and Foundation fieldbus digital valve positioner from Flowserve.
