Analogue signal conditioning in Ex areas

Mini MCR Analogue signal converters and isolators from Phoenix Contact can now be used in Ex applications

Mini MCR analogue signal converters and isolators from Phoenix Contact can now be used in Ex applications All available devices in this product line now fulfill the requirements for type 'n' explosion protection

This means the modules are suitable for installation in Ex-Zone 2.

What's more, sensors and actuators from Ex-Zone 1 that fulfill the explosion protection category 2G but are not listed in the 'intrinsically safe' explosion protection type can also be connected.

This is, for example, true of PT100 resistance thermometers.

As a result of their compact design and power bridging option using DIN rail bus connectors, Mini MCR analogue signal converters can be efficiently installed in decentralised signal distributor boxes directly at the transition point between Ex zone 1 and Ex zone 2.

This ensures that sensor cable lengths are kept to a minimum and the signals are amplified meaning transmission reliability is substantially increased.
