Weighing indicator ATEX/IECE for zone 1/21. IP68 Stainless steel. 0-10V/4-20mA

The DFWIECEX weight indicator represents the state of the art for weighing in environments with a high risk of explosion. Thanks to the RGB backlit display, to the powerful processor and above all to the main interfaces available, all intrinsically safe, DFWIECEX allows the integration of weighing within production processes, directly in hazardous areas, driving solenoid valves and communicating with PLCs and other devices. IECEx and ATEX certified and approved for legal-for-trade use.

Highlights

• LCD display with RGB backlight
• State-of-the-art, high-speed X-Core CPU ideal for handling fast and accurate weighing, filling or dosing processes

Communication Interfaces - OPTIONS

OPTIONAL DIGITAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS:

• Intrinsically safe 4-input, 4-output digital card with the following specifications:
• Inputs
  - Ui: 18 V
  - Ri: 214 Ω
  - R input: 859 Ω
• Electronic relay outputs
  - Ui: 18 V
  - Pi: 1,75 W
  In: 70 mA
• Intrinsically safe power supply terminal, for piloting devices in ATEX zone or push-button panel.Output voltage 6V, max current 300mA.

NOTE: by using the available power supply terminal, it is possible to manage the push button panel code EXPHBN in a direct way, even in a safe area, without protection barriers.

OPTIONAL ANALOG OUTPUT:

• Intrinsically safe analog output, programmable at 0...10Vdc, 0...20mA or 4...20mA.

NOTE: It is possible to transmit the signal directly to the safe area using the intrinsically safe protective barrier, code PFANOUTEX for analog output in 0...20mA (or 4...20mA) configuration.

The analogue output of DFWIECEXAN is an active analogue output, which is why it must not be powered. The resistance of analogue input shall be:
- If the output signal is in voltage: Rmin=1K
- If the output signal is in current: Rmax=300ohm

RS485 SERIAL PORT

• 2 Optional intrinsically safe RS485 serial ports for communication with repeaters and other devices.
• - ASCI protocol
• - Programmable weight string and read command
• - Modbus RTU

NOTE: it is possible to transmit data directly to the safe area using the protective barrier code PFB485EX

Certification of assembly

• EXDC: ATEX certification of assembly for DFWIECEX
