Partnership offers technology integration

Invensys Process Systems has teamed with Pepperl+Fuchs to offer seamless integration of the Pepperl+Fuchs I/O interface product lines with Invensys's I/A Series distributed control system technology.

With built-in barriers and field connections, the integrated modules are a low-cost, compact and easy-to-maintain solution for mounting I/O modules in hazardous locations.

Such tight integration provides users with a transparent interface from which they can set up, configure and maintain intrinsic safety using standard I/A Series tools.

The solution is certified for Zone One and Zone Two hazardous environments.

Seamless integration of Invensys and Pepperl+Fuchs technology has many benefits for users, according to the companies.

Because the intrinsically safe modules are hot-swappable without a hot-work permit, maintenance is easier and safer and with built-in redundancy in communication modules, power supplies and bus interfaces, availability is high.

Invensys offers the integrated solution on Hart-capable modules so I/A Series system users can manage intrinsically safe operation of any vendor's Hart field devices.

Finally, because integration with I/A Series technology also brings compatibility with Invensys's FDT-based Field Device Manager, users can set up, commission and maintain smart devices within a common engineering environment.
