Ex Isolation in Modular Process Plants

IMXK interface devices can be installed in compact control box on process modules and transmit signals from intrinsically safe field devices

Modular plant concepts are being used more and more by companies in the process industry in order to reduce time to market and keep their plants agile. The modules are encased in a steel frame with the external dimensions of the standard ISO container. These modules are known as super skids. They are easy to transport and allow plant operators to react flexibly when faced with local fluctuations in demand. Production in modular plants can also be scaled more effectively than in other plants.

However, the challenge for plant designers is to find a way of safely installing all of the necessary automation components and ensuring that they can be easily accessed, while also working with limited space. This is where smaller control boxes are an ideal solution. These protective enclosures are often considerably flatter than those of standard control cabinets.
