System-integrated Explosion Protection with Beckhoff

Beckhoff Explosion Proof

 

March 19, 2020

With its broad portfolio of components, Beckhoff makes it possible to build integrated explosion protection solutions through to Zone 0/20 with EtherCAT Terminals, high-quality Control Panels and Panel PCs, as well as Embedded PCs and Bus Couplers for easy integration with all common fieldbus systems. With Beckhoff, users can implement any explosion protection application involving explosion hazards, including the retrofitting of existing systems.

The product portfolio for explosion protection includes nearly the entire range of EtherCAT Terminals and Bus Terminals for the intended use in Zone 2 and 22. Certificates are issued according to the requirements of IECEx, ATEX and NEC/CEC certification guidelines.

The CX8000 and CX5100 series Embedded PCs can be used for control of even the most demanding applications and processes in hazardous areas. The ELX terminals with intrinsically safe interfaces can be used for direct integration of field devices located in hazardous areas up to Zone 0 and 20 into the open control platform from Beckhoff, eliminating the need for additional safety barriers.

The Control Panels and Panel PCs in the CPX series enable process visualization in hazardous areas. The explosion-proof panels combine the attractive appearance of all Beckhoff panels with a highly robust design to ensure compliance with the technical requirements for use in hazardous areas classified Zone 2 and 22.

Furthermore, the Beckhoff components support various communication protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, and others. Via these standardized interfaces, the Beckhoff hardware can be integrated with common process control systems in the industry. This makes the benefits of PC-based control technology also available when existing systems are upgraded or expanded by retrofit.
