Intrinsically safe signal conditioners for hazardous area applications ACT20X – Overview ACT20X – Universal, intrinsically safe signal conditioners for hazardous area applications PC-configurable conditioners family for hazardous areas in the new Weidmüller electronics housing for installation in safe or hazardous areas of Zone 2 B The ACT20X products fulfil the strict standards of the hazardous area industries and process signals from various Ex zones (Zones 0, 1, 2) for the control system. ACT20X can be used universally. On the input side, the ACT20X can process HART® input signals, DC, RTD, thermocouple or B.4 NAMUR signals from the Ex area. On the output side, field devices in the Ex area are controlled via the ACT20X with analogue or digital signals. All ACT20X products are characterised by insulation, accuracy and high temperature stability. The 2-channel versions with width of 22.5 mm are available with either transistor or relay output. Due to this high component density, the space requirements and installation costs are reduced accordingly. Intrinsically safe signal conditioners for hazardous area applications ACT20X – Overview Configuration via FDT All modules can be quickly and conveniently configured with manufacturer-independent FDT/DTM software. \ ; " B Worldwide application Fulfils the strict standards and requirements of the process industry. Can be used worldwide due to international and local approvals ATEX, IECEX, CULUS, FM, GOST and DNV. Intelligent connection system Pluggable, coded, with release lever. The release lever simplifies maintenance and allows the disconnection without damaging the cables. Alarm function No laborious troubleshooting. Alarm function integrated for cable or sensor errors. In case of failures, a diagnostic signal is sent to the control system. Robust +60 °C to –20 °C Wide ambient temperature range from –20 °C ... +60 °C. B.5 NAMUR isolating switching amplifier: with relay output The ACT20X-HDI-SDO-RNO (NC) isolating switching amplifier is a specialized signal isolating converter for Namur sensor signals or for simple switching signals from the Ex Zone 0. A single relay, available optionally as NC or NO, provides the output signal in the safe zone. Single-channel or double-channel versions are also available.
