BEx1 IO Box 

BEx1 IO Box 

BEx1 IO Box provides plant and machine manufacturer for the first time a decentralized and compact solution with Profinet or Modbus TCP/IP for hazardous area Zone 1/21.

Applications

▪ Paint shops
▪ Pharmaceutical plants
▪ Chemical plants
▪ Tank farm
▪ Airfield tankers
▪ Bulk material plants
▪ Mixing / grinding plants
▪ Industrial heating / cooling systems
▪ Sewage treatment plants and much more

Customer value

No longer long cable routes for the individual sensors or actuators in the system.
Simply collect all Ex i signals in the Ex area where they are generated and connect directly to the BEx1 IO Box.

Modern Bus Technology

Current versions in Profinet or Modbus TCP/IP
Out of the box!
no programming work on the module

Customer value

  • For optimal combining of intrinsically safe signals in the lower field level.
  • Allows very short cable lengths to the solenoid valves and initiators which means significant cost and time savings during installation and maintenance.
  • The Ethernet connection is designed with increased safety. An Ex media converter in the safe area is no longer required and the full Ethernet performance can be used.


The ATEX certified system with field enclosure is designed for installation in Zone 1/21 and connects sensors and actuators from Zone 0/20.

BEx1 includes busnode, isolating amplifier and 32 intrinsically safe analog and digital IO channels on smallest space.
