PC100.0.6.0.1.1.1
The PC100 is the user interface of an industrial PC designed for use in zone 1. The PC is located in the safe area. There are no more intrinsically safe barriers necessary - the PC is unlimited network capable. A later update to a more powerful PC is possible at any time. The PC is connected with a video-remote control to the PC100.
For the remote control usually a 4 x 2 AWG24 (CAT 5/6) cable is recommended, but alternatively a glass fibre can be used. The customer don't have to follow the rules for intrinsically safe wiring, because the connection is not intrinsically safe: the power supply (e.g. 230VAC) of the display is connected to the integrated Ex e-terminal box. Therefore no Exi-multi power supplies are necessary.
The intrinsically safe keyboard and stainless steel trackball (both IP65) are connected to the PC100 with a plug. The modules above are integrated in a graceful designed commander housing. The housing is manufactured of stainless steel with a protection class of IP65. Therefore it can be used in pharmaceutical or food production. It is also possible to integrate the PC100 modules in an existing control panel.
The PC100 gives his user the degree of freedom and flexibility, he needs now and in the future.
