1797 FLEX Ex I/O Modules
FLEX™ Ex I/O takes advantage of the modular FLEX I/O platform and combines it with Intrinsic Safety (IS) technology. FLEX Ex I/O can be distributed right into hazardous areas (Zone 1), providing significant design, installation, and wiring savings. FLEX Ex I/O is compatible with the 1794 FLEX I/O system for added flexibility.
Benefits
- Can be mounted near controlled equipment, eliminating long runs of multiple cables, conduit, and messy sealing.
- Built-in galvanic isolation eliminates need for IS barriers/isolators.
- Advanced diagnostics provides real-time status for quicker and easier troubleshooting.
- Configuration alternatives address a wide range of application needs.
- Removal and insertion under power makes it possible to replace modules and make cable connections in the hazardous area while the system is in operation.
- Rated for Class I, II, and III / Div 1, Zone 1 and 22 to allow mounting in hazardous locations.
- Conformal Coating of all FLEX Ex modules provides protection against corrosive elements.
