Description
Product Name: HiD2038 Pepperl+Fuchs Power module
Product details:
The Pepperl+Fuchs HiD2038 is a high-integrity, high-density isolating barrier designed for use in process automation and control systems. As part of the HiD system, it provides a safe and reliable interface between a control system (e.g., PLC or DCS) and field devices located in hazardous areas. This isolating barrier ensures that energy transfer is limited, preventing ignition of explosive atmospheres while allowing for seamless data communication and power supply. Its high-density design allows for a large number of channels to be housed in a compact space, saving valuable cabinet real estate.
Product Specifications
- Type: Isolating Barrier
- Channels: Multi-channel design (specific number of channels varies by model, but it is part of a high-density system)
- Signal Type: Supports various signal types, including analog inputs/outputs, digital inputs/outputs, and temperature signals.
- Safety Standard: Certified for use in hazardous areas, typically meeting international standards like ATEX, IECEx, and UL.
- Mounting: Backplane mounting for a modular and high-density installation.
- Operating Temperature: A wide range of operating temperatures to suit various industrial environments.
- Dimensions: Compact form factor optimized for cabinet space efficiency.
- Power Supply: Designed for efficient power consumption and redundancy options.
Key Advantages
- High Density: The most significant advantage is its high-density design. It allows for a substantial increase in the number of I/O channels per cabinet, which reduces the overall footprint and cost of the control system.
- High Reliability & Safety: The HiD2038 provides a robust and reliable galvanic isolation, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment in hazardous environments. It prevents the propagation of faults from the safe area to the hazardous area.
- Simplified Installation: The backplane-based system simplifies wiring and installation. Modules can be easily plugged in and replaced without the need for extensive rewiring, which reduces downtime and labor costs.
- Modular Design: Its modularity allows for easy system expansion and maintenance. You can add or replace individual modules as needed, providing flexibility for future upgrades or repairs.
- Diagnostic Capabilities: Many Pepperl+Fuchs modules include advanced diagnostics, which can help in troubleshooting and predicting potential failures, thereby increasing system uptime.
Important Considerations
- Proper Certification: Always ensure that the specific HiD2038 module is certified for the hazardous area classification of your application (e.g., Zone 0, 1, or 2).
- System Compatibility: The HiD2038 is part of a larger system. Make sure you use the correct backplane, power supply, and other components for proper functionality.
- Wiring Practices: Follow all manufacturer guidelines and local electrical codes for wiring and installation to maintain the integrity of the hazardous area rating.
- Environmental Conditions: While designed for industrial use, pay attention to the specified operating temperature, humidity, and vibration limits to ensure long-term reliability.
Typical Applications
- Oil & Gas Industry: Used for process control and monitoring of pipelines, refineries, and offshore platforms.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: Provides a safe interface for control systems in areas with flammable gases or vapors.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Ensures safety and compliance in environments where combustible dust or solvents are present.
- Power Generation: Used in power plants to interface with field devices in potentially explosive areas.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Provides safe and reliable control of pumps and sensors in areas with methane or other gases.
