Intrinsic safety, increased safety, pressurization, encapsulation, flameproof enclosures or powder filling - when dealing with explosion hazardous areas a very deep knowledge of protection methods, equipment certifications and the relevant standards is mandatory, especially since the latter vary from region to region. Even operators of process production plants happen to have their specific protection standards and best practices.

Our world-wide network of explosion protection specialists and engineers as well as more than 60 years of experience form the knowledge data base which makes Pepperl+Fuchs one of the leading companies when dealing with explosion hazardous areas. Our close contact to the plant operators enables us to always be at the leading edge of technology. A recent example was the invention of DART, the next step of intrinsic safety. Within the FieldConnex^® product line several DART fieldbus modules are readily available, but also with Remote I/O systems and intrinsic safety barriers there are constantly new developments reaching marketability.

In order to guide users and engineering consultants through the maze of regulations, requirements and product offerings our specialists offer trainings on explosion protection principles regularly. One step closer to the process our project engineers, based in Solution Engineering Centers all over the world, offer counsel and project support for individual construction projects. In close cooperation with the user the requirements are exhaustively evaluated, followed by detailed specifications as well as design proposals. No matter if it’s an automation system based on IS barriers, signal transmission via Remote I/O systems or a fully digital fieldbus topology, the experienced project engineers find the best fit to the users’ requirements. Installation of the appropriate modules from the comprehensive Pepperl+Fuchs portfolio into space and cost efficient enclosures as well as integration of third-party components, if needed, is done by skilled technicians in the Pepperl+Fuchs assembly workshops. After thorough testing, full certification and documentation the system gets delivered to the plant ready for commissioning. If you are interested in state-of-the-art and CAPEX-efficient explosion protection solutions please do not hesitate to contact us.
