Power electronics

Sensors used in the automation industry transmit a wide range of digital and analog signals. In many counting and control processes, these signals need to be clearly displayed, monitored, or processed. To help you find the perfect solution for such applications, we offer a wide range of counters, process displays, signal converters, and switch amplifiers that are all optimized for use with our sensors. The user-friendliness and durability of our products is always a priority at Pepperl+Fuchs.

Pepperl+Fuchs offers a broad portfolio of electrical equipment and solutions for installation and control of machinery and electrical networks in harsh environments and explosion hazardous areas. Various types of protection and enclosure variants along with a high level of flexibility allow the design of the most efficient control and distribution solutions for any application and industrial environment. Experienced project engineers at the Pepperl+Fuchs Solution Engineering Centers - located worldwide - will support the user to find the most efficient solution for his specific requirements.

HART Interface Solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs consist of two HART Multiplexer Systems for multiple signal loops and a HART Loop Converter for single loop applications. The Multiplexer is used to connect HART field devices to Asset Management Systems like AMS? Suite: Intelligent Device Manager from Emerson Process Management. At the heart of HART Interface Solution (HIS), the HART Multiplexer acts like a gateway device, routing communications between the maintenance workstation PC and the HART field devices. It interrogates each HART device, retrieves device information, and stores it in an internal database. This information is made available by the AMS Device Manager or PACTware. The HART Multiplexer also acts as a message coordinator for communication between the maintenance workstation PC and the HART devices. For a single loop solution, the HART Loop Converter allows access to all process variables provided by a field device and transfers them to conventional 4...20 mA loop. This enables it to make use of the hidden measurements done by many field devices and feed them to conventional DCS Systems

As a future technologoy for infrastructure, FieldConnex is already well-known and firmly established in all sectors of the process industry. True to the credo "Shaping the Future of Process Industries", Pepperl+Fuchs is now taking the next step towards the future: the Ethernet-APL rail field switch is the first product on the market with an Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer, or Ethernet-APL for short. This technology is the first to implement Ethernet in the harsh environments of process plants, and thus enables barrier-free, parallel communication. Digital communication via two-wire Ethernet is thus making its way into the field of process plants and makes IIoT applications easy to implement in process automation.

The advantage of the clear assignment of a signal to a terminal, while integrating existing instrumentation and wiring, in combination with the significantly reduced wiring effort by the use of a bus interface to the control system - remote I/O benefits from the best of two technologies. Therefore it is the ideal and most cost-effective way for the modification or modernization of process plants.

Modular remote I/O systems transmit process data from safe or explosion hazardous areas by connecting binary and analog sensors and actors to the control system via a bus interface. Remote I/O is the right choice when you want to put I/O modules close to the field devices. Due to the reduced wiring effort, you not only save cables, but also time, money, and work effort. Hence, remote I/O field units can be installed in a decentralized location inside hazardous areas while you easily control and monitor sensors and actors from the control room.

You can connect 4 mA ... 20 mA devices to remote I/O, including water flow transmitters, valve positioners, pressure transducers, or temperature transmitters. Devices such as thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), mechanical contacts, and visual or audible alarms may also be connected.
