IIoT Power Supply for excom I/O System

New power supply modules enable predictive maintenance, monitoring and optimization for high-availability applications - even in ATEX Zone 2

Turck has upgraded the power supply modules of its excom high availability system with two variants for IIoT data. The PSM24-3G.1 supplies power to excom systems in zone 2/22, while the PSM24-N.1 supplies power to excom systems in the safe zone (N system). Compatibility with previous power supply modules is maintained. Power supply redundancies can be made with a combination of old and new modules. Additional IIoT data from the new modules is also transferred through the Ethernet gateway modules.

Turck's new power supply modules ensure long-term operational capability of the I/O system. Compatibility with previous power supply modules and excom systems allows existing excom installations to be upgraded with IIoT functions. The systems output diagnostic data in accordance with NAMUR NE107 via the Ethernet gateway. Process data can also be accessed via parallel read access without compromising the integrity of the process communication. This data can be used for predictive maintenance systems or monitoring and optimization (M+O) measures.

excom is the most compact I/O system among redundant systems for high availability applications and Ex areas. Another feature that distinguishes excom from similar systems is its closed system approval. Individual components can thus be added to excom systems - without the need for additional approval. Thanks to these features, the system is used worldwide in multiple applications in the oil, gas, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
