Communications Components for Harsh Environments
Siemens’ Industry Automation Division
announced it has expanded the range of
applications of its Siplus extreme control
and communication products that are par-
ticularly suited to harsh environmental
conditions. The devices are now also certi-
fied for use in toxic atmospheres according
to ISA-S71.04 GX, for salt mist and dense
dust. The components were previously suit-
able for use in corrosive atmospheres
according to ISA-S71.04 G1, G2 and G3
as well as in situations involving 100%
humidity, dewing and ice formation. The
Siplus extreme devices are for use in
aggressive environmental conditions that
would not be suitable for standard Simatic
automation components.
