The ANTARESplus remote I/O
system from Bartec can be connected
to any current control with various
bus systems, i.e. Profibus-DP,
ProfiNet, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP.
There are nine different I/O modules available in the form of digital and analogue inputs and outputs. In addition, with Profibus-DP high system stability can be achieved through the redundant structure of two top modules. A high-output power supply unit allows the supply of up to 32 modules. A large number of sensors and actuators can thus be connected.
According to the current guidelines for use in potentially explosive areas, the system is suitable for ATEX zones 1 and 2 (gas) and ATEX zones 21 and 22 (dust). The combination of Ex d, Ex e and Ex i and a specifically developed plug technology was implemented in the smallest space.
