Explosion-proof solenoid coils for hazardous areas
At Achema 2006, Parker Lucifer will demonstrate a new generation of coils for controlling solenoid valves in hazardous environments.
It is compatible with the Profibus DP fieldbus - the protocol preferred by many users in the process industries.
One Profibus address can operate up to 32 individual 5/2 modular solenoid valves, or a combination of valves and actuator position sensors.
The valve island's fieldbus compatibility also supports advanced remote diagnostics down to individual valve and sensor level - thereby further supporting the demanding needs of the continuous processing sector.
The fieldbus connection to the terminal can be made by either optical fibre or copper - with the aid of intrinsic-safety circuits.
EExPress is fully certified to ATEX and LCIE standards, is CE marked and EMC tested and approved.
