PROCESS AUTOMATION


Isolated Barriers

Isolated Barriers

Intrinsic safety barriers are the core of Pepperl+Fuchs' product portfolio. We offer the widest selection of products for protection of electrical signals located in hazardous areas. These intrinsic safety modules combine the energy limiting features of a zener barrier with galvanic isolation. Pepperl+Fuchs offers systems for different applications and mountings.

Zener Barriers

Zener Barriers

Zener barriers provide cost saving Ex-protection for various applications in process automation systems. The amount of energy transferred to the hazardous location is limited to a safe level incapable of igniting the explosive atmosphere. Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide product portfolio of housing and connection styles, which include DIN rail, termination board mounted, and accessories for each application.

Intrinsic Safety Isolators

Signal Conditioners

With the variety of process control systems available, it is often necessary to convert an input signal into a format that the system will accept. Signal conditioners take signals from an assortment of field instruments such as thermocouples and RTDs, and convert those signals into any of several standard instrument signals (1…5V, 4…20 mA, etc.).

Signal conditioners are also beneficial to the accurate transfer of these signals, isolation and the elimination of ground loops.

Fieldbus Infrastructure

Fieldbus Infrastructure

FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA link field instrumentation to any process plant. Fieldbus provides seamless data communication between the plant and control system while supplying power to all field devices.

Fieldbus topologies fit the demands of modern process industries. The High-Power Trunk approach provides plenty of energy and the flexibility you expect for your process. Make the High-Power Trunk your choice of fieldbus technology for FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA

Remote IO Systems

Remote I/O Systems

Our modular Remote I/O systems - RPI, LB and FB - are the cost-effective connection of your field signals in the hazardous and the safe areas to your process control system via the fieldbus. A variety of gateways are available for the connection to different fieldbusses. Free combinable I/O modules and high modularity offers cost-saving installations. The systems are characterized by high functionality and simple handling.

HART Interface Solutions

HART Interface Solutions

HART Interface Solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs consist of two HART Multiplexer Systems for multiple signal loops and a HART Loop Converter for single loop applications. The Multiplexer is used to connect HART field devices to Asset Management Systems like AMS™ Suite: Intelligent Device Mananger from Emerson Process Management. At the heart of HART Interface Solution (HIS), the HART Multiplexer acts like a gateway device, routing communications between the maintenance workstation PC and the HART field devices.

Level Measurement

Level Measurement

Today, level measurement technology is the basis for management and process control in the chemical, petrochemical, environmental and other related industries. Our comprehensive program enables us to help you solve your particular measurement and control problems and to detect the precise level of any medium, under a wide range of conditions.

Purge Pressurization Systems

Purge + Pressurization Systems

Pepperl+Fuchs Bebco EPS Purge/ Pressurization products offer a safe and economical approach to installing electrical equipment in hazardous locations. By creating a safe area inside a standard enclosure, general-purpose equipment can be used in hazardous (classified) areas.

Industrial Monitors+HMI Solutions

Industrial Monitors+HMI Solutions

Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide range of visualization and HMI solutions - from operator workstations like Panel PCs, Remote Monitors or industrial monitors to compact, high-performance operator panels. Our HMI solutions are rugged, industrial products designed for hazardous areas and heavy-duty use as well as for cleanroom and GMP-related applications. The product range includes a full complement of accessory components for customized solutions.

Custom Cabinets+Junction Boxes

Custom Cabinets+Junction Boxes

Pepperl+Fuchs products are used throughout the world in applications involving industrial, hazardous and corrosive environments. By engineering a complete solution at our own facility, Pepperl+Fuchs is able to offer its world-class products in a variety of panels and enclosures designed and built according to your specifications.

Corrosion Monitoring

CorrTran MV is the first 2-wire, 4mA … 20mA HART transmitter that evaluates general corrosion and localized (pitting) corrosion, as well as conductivity, in real-time. Meant to take corrosion control out of the laboratory and into everyday process control, CorrTran MV is a revolutionary approach to corrosion detection and corrosion prevention. Unlike the traditional corrosion coupon method that established an average corrosion rate over time, CorrTran MV can monitor corrosion on-line and in real-time rather than in a historical analysis method that misses the possibility of a process to corrosion correlation.

Separator Alarm Systems

An alarm system is used in the separator to detect the volume of the light liquid and/or the maximum level of a liquid. This ensures the safe and economic operation of separators for light liquids, also known as oil and petrol separators. The requirements for this type of separator systems has been defined in the European standard EN 858-1. It is a condition for the CE mark and defines the criteria for a device raising an alarm if the light liquid or liquid waste level is too high or the liquid waste level is too low.


Pepperl+Fuchs is a global market leader of industrial safety equipment for intrinsic safety and explosion protection technology. We offer a complete range of solutions for the process automation industry that includes intrinsic safety isolators, zener barriers, signal conditioners, fieldbus technology, remote I/O, HART interfaces,  Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for hazardous environments, custom cabinets, junction boxes and separator alarm systems.


We have also developed a complete line of on-line corrosion & level measurement products and purge & pressurization units. Target industries for our Process Automation division are the chemical pharmaceutical, petrochemical, oil & gas, industries, as well as wastewater treatment and power technology.
