The universal and space-saving I/O module forms the basis for the most compact remote I/O systems for Zone 2 on the market.

Pepperl+Fuchs delivers trend-setting fieldbus products.

Pepperl+Fuchs has extended its range of products to include four new transmitter power supplies for intrinsically safe applications up to SIL3.

Preventing Dust Explosions Using the Purge+Pressurization System

One of the main objectives of the systems and solutions activities of Pepperl+Fuchs is to respond quickly to customers’ requirements for automation solutions in hazardous areas. The acquisition of Walsall Ltd. has moved Pepperl+Fuchs one step closer to achieving this goal.

NAMUR and the HART Communication Foundation have conducted a field test at the BASF plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany, which has been actively supported by Pepperl+Fuchs. WirelessHART was proven to be a sustainable technology that can be used in mobile and flexible applications.

DART is on its best way to becoming an accepted standard technology in the process industry. Dynamic Arc Recognition and Termination (DART) is a much easier approach to certify the intrinsic safety of a circuit. It provides considerable more power to drive field devices within explosion hazardous areas and allows longer cable distances. It uses intelligent detection circuits to monitor the entire electric circuit. As soon as the formation of a dangerous spark is detected, the power supply is shut off within microseconds to prevent the spark from becoming incentive. This greatly increases installation options and opens a completely new range of applications.

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces VisuNet DM, specifically designed monitors to deliver reliable operation and long life in harsh application environments. Fully configurable to suit specific application requirements they are true industrialized monitors, delivering the highest MTBF in the industry at over 550,000 hours. Vusunet DM monitors carry both the UL and CE mark, and are available for general purpose or Class I/Div 2 environments. Touch screen and transflective options are available.
