Eaton MTL release the 9470 Gigabit Intrinsically Safe Ethernet range

The 9470 product range provides cost-effective Intrinsically Safe (IS) Gigabit Ethernet equipment that can be installed and maintained easily in hazardous areas.

The intrinsically safe hazardous area certification permits the components to be mounted in a Zone 1 hazardous area with connectivity into Zone 0 and the associated apparatus certification of the 9468-ET IS Ethernet isolator and 9492-PS-PLUS power supply allow this equipment to be mounted in a Zone 1 hazardous area and connected to intrinsically safe equipment in a Zone 0 hazardous area.

In Process Automation it is also preferable to use a single cable to provide both power and communications to the end device. The 9470-ET/ETG range can deliver Intrinsically Safe Power over Ethernet (PoEx™) with a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, allowing live connection and disconnection of the end device in Zone 0 and 1 hazardous areas.

Also the new Gigabit range is suitable for bandwidth intensive applications and the 9476-ETG switch comes with advanced managed features.

Extech will provide local IA certification.

  • Inspection system for leak detection in valves in hazardous areas

    Leaking valves in industrial plants not only lead to loss, safety risks and possible contamination and pollution, but also result in high economic costs. Therefore, valves in hazardous areas require regular proper inspection and preventive maintenance to ensure their functionality.

  • World’s first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx zone 1/21

    i.safe MOBILE has launched the world’s first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx zone 1/21. The intrinsically safe mobile device, which was also developed for use in 5G campus networks, offers companies great flexibility thanks to its wide range of possible applications, especially in the automation sector.

  • Functional and compatible intrinsically safe loop approvals

    With all the focus on IS loop approval, it is easy to forget to check that the loop will function correctly to see whether the field device has sufficient power (voltage & current) to operate over the full process range.

  • Mobile devices in hazardous areas

    The intention of this paper is to outline the basic requirements for designing and manufacturing an IS mobile device. What are the risks and what do the standards say? This will explain why IS mobile devices are more expensive than standard rugged devices.

  • Cleanroom tablet for GMP manufacturing

    Extech’s GMP Cleanroom Tablet, on view at Stand J509, is designed for mobile applications in pharma and biotech industries adhering to GMP practices. It features a stainless steel housing and comfortable …
