Series 6000 Purge and Pressurization Systems replace Series 2000
Purge and pressurization systems separate general-purpose equipment from the surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere using a standard, lightweight enclosure.
Simplifying Thin Client Management with VisuNet Control Center
For automation sites that have implemented a Pepperl+Fuchs VisuNet RM Shell thin-client-based architecture for their HMI systems, VisuNet Control Center can be used to make life more manageable inside and outside of the facility.
Sinking and Sourcing with Smart Transmitter Power Supply for Analog Input Applications
When selecting an intrinsic safety barrier for an analog input application, one of the biggest issues customers face is differentiating between sinking and sourcing. These terms are used to refer to where the power of the current signal is coming from. Not sure what they mean? Keep reading.
The Benefits of Modules with Line Fault Transparency
Highly automated systems in sensitive areas of the process industry must ensure that pumps, valves, and active cooling systems are switched on safely at all times. In this blog post, we explain the advantages plant operators have with using line fault transparency (LFT) modules from Pepperl+Fuchs.

What Are the Differences between the K-System and the H-System?
Pepperl+Fuchs offers two extensive product families for safely transmitting signals between the field and control levels: the K-System and the H-System. Get to know the differences between and benefits of these two systems, and explains for whom each system is most suitable.
What Are Industrial Thin Clients? Part 2/2—The Benefits
Over the past decade, thin clients have become more and more popular in process automation and industrial applications. The trend toward virtualization makes thin clients an especially cost-effective solution as they allow users to access applications and information stored on centralized systems such as servers. Learn more about the benefits of thin clients in this blog post.
What Are Industrial Thin Clients? Part 1/2—How It Works
Explosive atmospheres, harsh environments, extreme temperatures—the process industry places unique demands on the people and technology working in the sector. This also applies to thin clients, as they are known in office applications. Unlike traditional PCs, thin clients run applications on remote servers rather than on the local hardware, and only transmit image information and user inputs over the network.
When Should I Use Which Surge Protector? Four Solutions at a Glance
Whether you control a process with a computer, process control system, PLC, or a field device, a surge protector can eliminate or reduce the risk of damage to sensitive electronics caused by transient overvoltage. In this article, we outline four surge protection solutions.
What Is a Fieldbus Terminator and What Is Its Function?
The fieldbus terminator, also referred to as a terminator, is a component in a fieldbus system. This terminator takes the shape of a series connection featuring a 1 µF capacitor and a 100 Ω resistor. The main task of the fieldbus terminator is to transform the data signal transmitted as a current change into a voltage change that can be detected by all nodes.
