Come and be there when our new ORCA HMI platform goes live for the first time at the ACHEMA. With the launch of our new HMI platform, we are also introducing our wireless EasyConnect click-fit system. The components of a traditional operator system are split into two modules: an electronics box (E-Box) containing the computer or thin client, and a display box (D-Box) with the multi-touch screen. These boxes can be freely combined, providing flexibility during maintenance and upgrades. This is because where in the past a new system was needed to increase processing power, the new EasyConnect concept means that now you only need to purchase a new E-Box with a more powerful processor.

We'll be delighted to show you further highlights of the ORCA HMI at the ACHEMA:

• Open upgrade path, which ensures progress and investment protection for at least 15 years.
• Powerful dual-monitor solutions enable clear depictions
• Convenient to access
• Sustainable construction design
• Safe networking and cybersecurity

With the latest generation of explosion-protected remote I/O systems, we currently offer the latest and most cost-efficient digitalisation platform. Preventative diagnostics, IP communication to the field, redundancy solutions and additional future features have already been installed. Thanks to the integration of software packages for signal processing, even the latest concepts for modular automation with the Module Type Package (MTP) can be easily ported into hazardous areas in Zones 1 and 2.

Additional product benefits include:

• Cost savings of up to 50% compared to conventional solutions
• Easier installation, quicker commissioning and less maintenance required.
• Can be used in extreme environments of -40 °C to +75 °C
• Long service life of at least 15 years even under harsh environmental conditions.
• Detailed diagnostics ensure safe operation and enable predictive maintenance.
• Energy savings of up to 40% compared to conventional installations.

Find out about our new Ex p system firsthand at the ACHEMA. You can use it to upgrade your existing industrial control system for Ex zones – with a fully automatic and reliable solution that can be easily mounted to existing enclosures. The modular concept enables you to select a tailored Ex p system for each zone, application, power supply and cabinet size.

Benefits for you include:

• One design for all Ex zones.
• Optimised maintenance access thanks to Ex p bypass circuitry.
• Maximised plant availability thanks to improved airflow.
• Space-saving thanks to miniaturised design and outdoor mounting.
• Wall thicknesses < 2 mm also possible thanks to minimised control cabinet pressurisation.
• Flexible engineering thanks to modular design.

miniCON is the simplest, safest and most reliable means of connecting field devices with power sources, data networks or other devices: Modular, mobile, maintenance-free and specially developed for hazardous areas and harsh environments. At the ACHEMA, we'll show you the plug connectors of the future and their highlights:

• Minimised downtimes since replacement can be carried out during operation by just one employee (hot swap), and supports modern maintenance strategies such as predictive or condition-based maintenance.
• Eliminates errors and troubleshooting within the system, since all plug connectors are pre-mounted and tested by the OEM. Furthermore, it's impossible to mix up the connections – guaranteed.
• Saves money thanks to quicker installation and commissioning, as well as increased plant availability. In addition, you only have to have one plug connector in stock to cover all applications.
