Hi.
We are considering to spread out decentralised i/o to a much higher degree than we have before.
Then someone asks the fine question "what if the project is in a tropical location ?".
For the main control panels, we could stick an aircon module on each panel, or place the panels in a central control room with aircon.
But all the little boxes with Profibus or Profinet i/o, what about them ?
Some of our projects are where the amb temperature is 40+ degr. And in a production plant the temperature may be even higher. And inside the boxes, the temperature will be even higher still. It gets awfully close to the 55 degr. that is the typical max.
Has anyone experience with using decentralised i/o in really hot locations ?
