The future of HMI-devices for the use in explosion endangered areas is less based on short lived proprietary products but more on all-purpose, modular products of latest technology and highest capability.

As a user, you should have a HMI-device at your disposal, which is completely autonomous from today’s PC-platforms and software and thereby featuring a long product life cycle.

This trend led to the development of the PC100-concept, which comes up to today’s and future requirements by use of an intelligent combination of different Ex-protection classes.

A high degree of technical and functional independency is reached by the use of standard components, which allows the integration of latest technology at anytime.

The stainless steel designer housing is specific to the needs of international production facilities with varying requirements (GMP-guideline, clean rooms, etc.).

The PC100 offers a multiplicity of potentials to cope with the special demands of our customers. On this account, numerous options are available for the PC100 as well as a non-Ex-device for industry-compatible applications in non-hazardous areas.
