I.S. interfaces
What is an I.S. interface?
An I.S. interface, also commonly referred to as intrinsically safe galvanic isolators or intrinsically safe barriers; are devices used to interface hazardous area process signals with safe area control equipment. Our selection of I.S. interfaces are designed to comply with global standards and directives including ATEX, IECEx, FM and UL.
If you require assistance in selecting the device that is just right for your application, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Backplane solutionThe PR9000 series offers unrivalled mounting flexibility. The same device is not only capable of standard DIN rail and Power Rail mounting, but also of being installed in our dedicated backplane solution. For larger installations, the PR backplane greatly simplifies installation and wiring while integrating seamlessly with standard DCS systems.
See backplane selection guide and intro videos
In short - the backplane is a user-friendly and reliable mounting solution between the DCS / PLC / SIS system and isolators / I.S. interfaces |
Functional SafetyThe PR9000 series is fully SIL certified to IEC61508. This allows for easy integration into safety instrumented systems.
