ATEX HMI for Zone 2

theDave2 · Apr 8, 2009

Who makes an HMI touch screen that has ATEX certification for Zone 2? AB does not.

Stahl makes one, but if it has the same software as 5 years ago, I prefer not to use it as it was tough to use / debug.

Schneider looks like they have one as I've got a Power Point file that shows one.

Any others ? I don't need a lot of function, it's for just controlling / displaying a dozen things in one small area. And it should talk DH-485 / serial (or ethernet) to a CLX plc.

maybe this one

I don't know for the clx plc.

I wasn't clear.

That P&F unit looks to be a PC + software = $$$$$$

I'm looking for an all-in-one unit, not PC based, something like an AB PanelView or Red Lion G3 or AD C_more. An OIT.

I think this might be your best bet. As I understand they are fairly economical.

I don't know what does Zone 2 stands for, but Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus terminals are certified for Class 1, Div II hazardous area. Hope it helps.

Class x, Div y is NEC USA hazardous area specification. Most other places in the world use either IEC Zone system and starting in 2003 the EU countries use ATEX of for.

Allen-Bradley PanelView & PV Plus are only rated for US NEC, not Atex.

QuickPanel which is now GE owned has an ATEX zone 2 HMI.
No part numbers right now, just seen it in one of their manuals/brochures.
I haven't used one.
Not sure what the Comm options are either (Profi, MODBUS, etc).

bkottaras & PLCMentor: Thanks !

Yeah, looks like the GE one will do nicely. It has a lot of plc communication options and not expensive.
