Tailor-made systems for
explosion protection
This company's
new holistic approach
to explosion
protection
provides plant
operators with a
complete range of
solutions to protect
against dust
explosions. The
of sensors inside an industrial plant, a
rapid rise in pressure can be rapidly
detected in the event of unwanted ignition.
The explosion-protection system
would then automatically emit a sodium
bicarbonate extinguishing agent,
which removes the heat from the combustion
zone and suppresses the resulting
explosion as early as the startup
phase. - IEP Technologies GmbH,

Safety-system setup made
faster and less complex
This company and exida (Sellersville,
Pa.; www.exida.com) have jointly released
the DeltaV safety instrumented
system (SIS)
configurator, an exida
IEP Technologies
portfolio includes a full range of passive
and active explosion-protection
systems (photo), allowing security
packages to be tailored to each application's
needs. Effective explosion
protection is required for the precision
of individual components and subprocesses.
For example, with the help
exSILentia tool that automatically
generates DeltaV SIS configurations.
By pairing built-in DeltaV functionality
with comprehensive software tools for
functional safety, users can develop
safety logic configurations much faster
and in fewer steps. Project teams can
not only decrease the time and effort
of safety-system configuration,
but also deliver more consistent configurations
with fewer errors, requiring
less rework, says the company.

Connect serial interfaces to
other networks - in the field
The ultracompact module TBENS-2COM
connects devices with an
RS232 or RS485 interface directly in
the field to controllers with the Profinet,
Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP protocols.
This eliminates the need to run long
wiring routes to the control cabinet.
The user can choose between RS232
and RS485, as required for the characteristics
of the two serial ports. The
module also offers four I/Os that can
be used as inputs or outputs without
any configuration. Use in very demanding
environments is possible thanks to
the high degree of protection per IP65,
IP67 to IP69K standards, as well as the
extended temperature range from -40
to 70°C. - Hans Turck GmbH & Co.
KG, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
