Economical EEx i Fieldbus technology

August 2005 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Standard parts of the Wago-I/O-System 750 can be used in hazardous areas up to zone 2 and special I/O modules even allow direct wiring into zones 1 and 0.

The number of EEx i modules in this system has increases with the introduction of a 2-channel analog input module which can be used to query data from resistance sensors in zones 1 and 0. It is possible to set parameters which allow the module to be adjusted to the sensor type used such as resistance thermometer sensor, resistance meter or potentiometer.

Another module in the range is a 2-channel digital input module without a diagnostic function that makes it a reasonably priced addition to the 1-channel NAMUR module. Any combination of EEx i modules along with standard modules is possible.
