Safe operator panels
Staff -- Plant Engineering, 2/1/2007
The Termex family of intrinsically safe text and graphic operator panels feature a monochrome LCD for flexible and cost-effective PLC and computer-based operation and monitoring of machines and processes located in hazardous areas. ATEX-certified for Zone 1 hazardous area use, the panels are well suited for fixed or mobile use in oil and gas applications. The system displays key gravity tool interface, inclination and azimuth information from data acquisition systems for operator well-logging and measurement. The graphical interface software simplifies control, display and visualization projects. It also supports most popular communication protocols, including Profibus-DP and Modbus. ‘C’ programming tools are optional. Traditional panel operation is also possible with a connection to a host computer using an ASCII protocol.
