Intrinsically safe I/O
EcoStruxure™ Foxboro DCS
Schneider Electric’s intrinsically safe I/O subsystem provides integration between Pepperl and Fuchs modular, intrinsically safe remote input/output (I/O) systems and EcoStruxure™ Foxboro DCS.
Overview
With built-in barriers and field connections, these integrated modules are the lowest-cost, smallest-footprint and easiest-to-maintain solution for mounting I/O modules in hazardous locations. Tight integration provides a transparent interface from which you can set up, configure and maintain intrinsic safety using standard Foxboro tools.
