What is the Turck IM33-22EX-HI/24VDC Isolating Transducer?
The Turck IM33-22EX-HI/24VDC is an intrinsically safe, isolated transducer used to connect field devices from hazardous areas (Zone 0/1/2) to safe-zone controllers. This is done by isolating, converting, and conditioning the analog input signals so as to ensure safety, accuracy, and noise-free transmission.
Isolator provides the interface between “unsafe” field areas and sensitive automation equipment such as PLCs, DCS, recorders, and controllers. Advanced isolation circuits minimize the effects of interference, ground loops, and signal distortion on data integrity, ensuring consistent and reliable data transfer.
Areas where precision is mandatory and explosion protection is needed include oil & gas, chemicals, marine, and process plants; hence, it finds wide applications in these industries.
