No Risk, Lots of Fun - Most fieldbus novices feel edgy about their decision and understandably so. Getting a new technology to work right the first time is a task associated with perceived risk. Taking this risk out of the equation and getting the plant on the way requires change. A few concepts have proven true to get it right the first time.

Product - The first real application for DART - Dynamic Arc Recognition and Termination - is DART Fieldbus. It is part of the FieldConnex series of fieldbus infrastructure components by Pepperl+Fuchs. DART technology, which is also known as Power-I and driven by a consortium of 13 companies, enables high power levels while maintaining ignition protection intrinsic safety (I.S.) - the safest way to protect plants in hazardous areas from unintended ignitions and explosions.
DART Fieldbus is made for hazardous area Zone 1 and gas group IIC.

The Hart Communication Foundation is pleased to announce that the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has approved the WirelessHart specification as a European National Standard (EN 62591). CEN released the standard to CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization, whose members are the national electrotechnical committees of 31 European countries. CENELEC approved the WirelessHart European Standard on June 1.

Prevention - Sometimes it only needs the intelligent combination of suitable components in order to come up with an innovative solution to reach new levels of flexibility and efficiency in plant operation. One typical example is a mobile application employed by Glaxosmithkline (GSK). The solution is based upon the unique set of features offered by Pepperl + Fuchs Remote I/O modules. It fully integrates into the existing process control infrastructure and offers new options for preventive maintenance.

Plants with fieldbus and hazardous areas are well prepared for functional safety applications. The fieldbus infrastructure is used concurrently by the devices for safety-integrated systems and for process control. The amount of work required for the planning, construction, test and operation of these systems is less than for conventional interface technology. Only logic solvers, sensors and actuators are planned for the required safety classes.
