Universal I/O: Seamlessly from Ex to non-Ex
Decentralised I/O systems are becoming increasingly widespread across the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry. Data transfer from explosion-risk process areas, high availability and accurate diagnosis and identification of fault sources are important for the sector.
Many years of industry experience make the difference
TurckIndustry-fit I/O systems provide user assurance thanks to high functionality and simple operation, and these are just two of the numerous strengths of the excom® I/O system from Turck. It can be installed in zones 1 and 2 and in the non-Ex area and be connected to the control system. The field circuits are permitted up to and including Zone 0.
The universal I/O system from automation specialists Turck incorporates Bachofen’s automation expertise. The benefits of this for system operators are personal contact and one-to-one discussion. Two specialists, one point of contact for you.
A flexible concept and redundancy for high availability
The components of the excom® I/O system are optimised for each usage zone. The standardised concept for configuration and parametrisation of the periphery and field instruments reduces cabling costs while saving time and engineering expense. Thanks to the module MT08, MT16 and MT24 module racks, excom® is flexible enough to fit any application. Every module rack can be operated with two network components and two gateways, resulting in intelligent redundancy for high availability.
