Explosion-protected automation interfaces
Country: · Model: Ex interfaces
Explosion-protected I/O modules, protocol converters, fieldbus gateways and safe barrier couplers that link control systems with hazardous areas. ATEX and IECEx certified, tested for EMC. They work with SCADA, PLC and industrial Ethernet.
Technical specifications
Specifications are taken from the manufacturer’s technical documentation. Updated .
Description
The modules stand at the border between the hazardous area and the control system, so the sensor signal passes through them into the safe part. A protocol converter and a fieldbus gateway translate data between networks of different standards, for example from a field device to SCADA. A remote I/O node brings part of the channels closer to the process, and less cable is laid. Barrier coupler modules limit the energy in the circuit so that it cannot ignite the mixture. The devices carry ATEX and IECEx certificates, a rugged build, and are tested for electromagnetic compatibility, which matters next to frequency drives. The link to a PLC and to industrial Ethernet keeps the connection secured.
How to choose
Pick the type by the task. Linking different networks takes a gateway or a protocol converter, extra channels need a remote I/O node, and a safe link to field devices needs a barrier module. Check which protocol your PLC or SCADA uses.

FAQ
What does a fieldbus gateway do?
It converts the data of one network into the protocol of another, for example from a fieldbus into industrial Ethernet for SCADA.
What is a remote I/O node used for?
It adds channels near the process, so one network cable runs to the control cabinet in place of many signal cables.
Are these devices certified for hazardous areas?
Yes, they hold ATEX and IECEx certificates. They are also tested for electromagnetic compatibility.
What is a barrier coupler module for?
It limits the energy in the circuit of a field device, so a spark or heat cannot ignite an explosive mixture.
Which control systems do they work with?
With SCADA systems, PLCs and industrial Ethernet networks, and with fieldbuses through gateways.
