Mounting: Panel mount
-
Dimensions (W × H × D): approx. 460 × 525 × 200 mm
Functional Features:
-
Intrinsically safe design for hazardous areas.
-
Remote PC architecture: the display head is located in the hazardous zone while the actual PC is in the safe area, dramatically improving maintainability.
-
Multiple international explosion-protection certifications for global compliance.
-
Modular design allowing flexible configuration.
-
High-brightness TFT with anti-reflective coating for readability in industrial lighting.
Application Scenarios: Chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, pharmaceuticals, mining, food & beverage production, and any environment requiring explosion-proof HMI.
Working Principle: The display terminal contains an intrinsically safe TFT panel and touch/keyboard interface. It communicates digitally with a remote industrial PC located in the safe area via a galvanically isolated transmission module over a CAT7 cable. The PC performs all computing; the terminal merely displays video and returns operator input.
Installation Requirements:
-
Panel-mount cutout according to the specified dimensions.
-
Route the CAT7 data cable through the TCV2i transmission module to the safe-area PC.
-
Ensure the power supply matches the terminal’s requirement (24 VDC or 100–240 VAC).
-
Verify the ATEX/IECEx zone classification matches the installation site.
Usage Precautions:
-
Only install and service in de-energized state within hazardous zones, following ATEX regulations.
-
Do not open the terminal enclosure in a hazardous area.
-
Ensure the transmission module is correctly grounded and isolated.
-
Periodically verify the integrity of the explosion-protected seals and gaskets.
