ANTARESplus is BARTEC’s response to industry’s requirements for more economic efficiency, convenience and flexibility in bus systems. The new remote I/O system is installed directly in the hazardous area and offers the same convenience as systems in the non-hazardous area in the minimum of space.

System Design:

- RCU (Rail-Control-Unit)

The RCU is the central head unit in the ANTARESplus system and accommodates the data processing, power management and an Ethernet switch. Innovative interlocking technology ensures a stable and safe connection.

- Remote I/O-Module

Different ANTARESplus modules offer a lot of possibilities. Just join them together and the connection is secure, even over several mounting rails. Standard mounting rails will suffice; complex bus rails are no longer necessary.

Other Features:

- Efficient Power Pack

- Genuine Redundancy

- Hot-Swap Function

- Intuitive Project Planning

- Multi-functional Remote I/O system

The 007-100 and 007-120 Exd IIC Position Monitors are ATEX and IECEx certified for use in gas Zones 1 and 2 and dust Zones 21 and 22.

The CE marked, IP67 enclosures are supplied in either coated aluminium or ANC 4B (316) stainless steel. Metric and NPT cable entries up to M25 and ¾” are available. The products have been designed to accommodate, as an option, the latest version of the top mounted highly visible Klearvision position indicator that can be used in IIC hazardous areas. The 007-100 is a compact solution that can contain up to 2 switches or a 4-20mA position transmitter. The larger 007-120 can contain up to 4 switches and a 4-20mA position transmitter.

The 007-120 now carries cCSAus certification marking for use in Canada and the USA. (cCSAus certification of the 007-100 will follow during 2012).  Designed for use in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries both units can be fitted to a wide range of quarter turn or linear valve actuators.There is a very extensive range of monitoring equipment that can be fitted in this new range of Exd IIC Position Monitors.

Switch options include micro switches, hermetically sealed magnetically operated reed switches and standard or failsafe inductive proximity sensors. Potentiometers of various different values can be geared or directly driven. A solenoid back wiring facility can be provided so that switches and solenoid can be wired to the control room via a single multicore cable without the requirement for a separate junction box.

For continuous feedback of valve position or for monitoring the performance of critical emergency shutdown valves during partial stroke testing, 4- 20mA, 4-20mA + HART®, PROFIBUS® PA or FOUNDATION™ FIELDBUS position transmitters are available in K4-20 variants.

The IPS Power Monitor (model KW941) monitors and displays actual power to the rotating equipment. The IPS Power Monitor is equipped with a programmable startup delay as well as low and high trip points offering simultaneous protection from underload and overload operating conditions.

- Designed with Unique Features that enable monitoring of actual equipment power.

- Programmable Start-up delay with low and high trip points.

- Ideal for both Sealed and Sealless process pumps.

- Helps Eliminate Extensive Repairs and Downtime with proper application.

- Automatic Shut-down or Alarm Tripping can be achieved before damage occurs.
