April 11, 2023 Purge and pressurization is a versatile protection method that can be used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Based on the principle of segregation between explosion-hazardous and safe atmosphere, it provides explosion protection for both gas hazards and dust hazards. Moreover, it is also one of the few types of protection that allows conventional equipment to be used in…
April 11, 2023 Push button boxes are used in numerous industrial applications. Connecting these to an IO-Link master not only entails higher costs but also additional cabling efforts. It is significantly more economical to connect several push buttons to one port. It has therefore been difficult so far to use IO-Link as an interface in push button boxes….
April 11, 2023 The explosion protection method purging and pressurization enables the use of non-explosion-proof electrical equipment and conventional automation components in hazardous areas. Special purge and pressurization systems flush the enclosure with an ignition protection gas and thus reduce the concentration of explosive gas or dust inside. Immediately thereafter, a positive minimum overpressure is maintained inside…
