Applying Explosion Protection in Automation Technology

Use the WAGO I/O System 750 and 750 XTR to make machines and systems more efficient and safer in atmospheres that are subject to explosion – and do so safely, reliably and economically. The modules within the WAGO I/O System 750 and 750 XTR are designed for use in both non-hazardous and hazardous areas. When used in Zone 2/22 hazardous areas, the I/O System 750 offers safe, easy and economical connection to the sensors/actuators of Zones 0/20 and 1/21. The “blue” Ex i I/O modules were specially developed for this purpose. They form an intrinsically safe segment that can be integrated into a standard fieldbus node, offering all the advantages of state-of-the-art fieldbus technology.

The Benefits for You:

  • Approved for use in Zone 2/22 hazardous areas for integration of intrinsically safe signals from the field up to Zone 0/20

  • Comprehensive certification, including ATEX, IECEx, NSI/ISA, INMETRO etc., ensures allows worldwide use

  • Intrinsically safe inputs with functional safety

  • Rated up to SIL 3, Cat. 4/PL e PROFIsafe
