Remote operating terminals for Ex zones

Remote operating terminals for Ex zones

Remote operating terminals for Ex zonesIntroducing a new and unique modular design concept, the MTL Gecma Work Station is a new generation of remote operating terminals for Ex Zone 1/2/21/22.

The new modular workstation range addresses the need for visualisation in hazardous areas. But that is not all; packed full of features and state-of-the-art technology, users can also optimise their productivity and reduce plant costs while increasing plant safety.

The units have been designed to address the environmental challenges of obtaining visualisation within harsh and hazardous areas. Building upon decades of experience and expertise and the significantly large installed base of its predecessor, the MTL Gecma Work Station range includes Remote Terminal (RT), Thin Client (TC) and a personal computer (PC) to meet a wide variety of applications. Suitable for the strictest of hygienic conditions and aggressive production environments, its slim, flexible modular construction also includes individually certified modules to allow safe maintenance even in hazardous areas.

  • Hazardous area solutions

    SEW-EURODRIVE is revolutionising industrial automation with advanced gear units, decentralised drives and the energy-efficient MOVIGEAR system.

  • 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.
