Industrial power supplies of the PS1000 series are used everywhere in automation technology where high system availability, redundancy and economic efficiency are required. The PS1000 series includes 1- and 3-phase power supplies as well as modules with built-in redundancy and redundancy modules. In this blog article, we take a closer look at the advantages and functionalities of these modules and support you in setting up your redundant power supply.

In this two-part video series, Chris Romano, Product Manager for Purge and Pressurization, shows you the intended use, setup, installation, and commissioning of the 5500-MAN-** manifold valve system for the fully automatic pressurized enclosure systems of the 5500 and 7500 control units from Pepperl+Fuchs in a live demo. What is the 5500-MAN-** manifold valve system and how does it work with the 7500 or 5500 control unit?

From the recording of the process variable to the evaluation in the control system, many errors can occur that can lead to unwanted process states. In this blog post you can find out how isolated barriers from Pepperl+Fuchs detect line faults in the signal circuit without additional wiring.

The 7500 series is a type Z/Ex pzc purge and pressurization system that enables non-rated electrical equipment to be used in hazardous areas. This blog article shows you how to configure the 7500 system components, i.e. control unit, manifold valve, and vent.

One of the best ways to prevent dust explosions is to thoroughly clean the work environment of combustible dust to ensure the safety of the plant and workers. However, equipment operating in enclosures in the plant must also be protected. In this blog post, learn where explosive dust atmospheres occur and how they can be avoided through purge and pressurization systems.
