Remote diagnostics and self-diagnostics are important features of process plants. Here, our solutions provide ideal conditions. Modern Remote I/O systems communicate via Ethernet networks with control systems and plant asset management systems. They supply data and status information about the installed field devices and about their own operating conditions. For example, wear diagnostics will inform about maintenance requirements long before a failure may be expected and thus enables preventive remote maintenance. This way, downtime is significantly reduced.

R. STAHL offers modern explosion protection in the current generation 4.0. The objectives of Ex 4.0 are safety, improved functionality, global usability and longevity:

• Intelligent, modern designs and a smart combination of all types of protection lead to efficient and economical solutions.

• Thanks to our international certification expertise, we offer products and systems that can be applied all over the world.

• We actively participate in international standardization bodies, and we are able to develop our systems pursuant to the latest standards.

• Our cross-linkable products enable the exchange of information between the real and the digital world, for preventive remote maintenance, asset management, diagnostics, etc.

• Our holistic modularization approach leads to a sustained time saving for our customers.

Devices and systems of different manufacturers have to be compatible – this applies to explosion-protected equipment as well. From Ex plug connectors to products that communicate digitally. Modular explosion protection will reduce production as well as delivery times, with higher flexibility. We are able to react quickly to changing requirements and offer scalable solutions which provide an ideal cost-benefit ratio. And last but not least, downward compatibility: Because what is the use of a new module that does not fit into the old system?
