With the EPX module series, Beckhoff offers a compact option for Ex i signal acquisition from zones 0/20, 1/21 and Div. 1 as an addition to the wide range of EtherCAT Box modules. With robust IP67 protection, they enable direct and decentralized installation on machines and systems, even in harsh environments. Interface options are available for HART, NAMUR and FDT/DTM standards. As an alternative to IP20 solutions with additional enclosures, the IP67-rated EPX modules are designed to enable reliable data collection, even in hazardous areas. The EPX series initially comprises three modules with four or eight input channels.Â
