RFID Control of Tube Connections in the Ex Area

Encapsulated HF reader identifies connections directly in Atex Zone 1/21 and transfers data to Ethernet gateways in Zone 2/22

Incorrectly connected or leaking media may have serious consequences for plant safety, product quality and the health of coworkers. If, for example, acid is filled into the wrong tank, there is a high potential for danger or economic damage. In order ensure the correct connection between a tube and the corresponding connection point, Turck is therefore offering a comprehensive HF RFID complete solution into Zone 1/21. Only when the read/write head has detected the correct tube, is the opening signal output for the valve and pump. Thanks to RFID, it is also possible to transfer information like date or time.
