The POLARIS Panel PC 10.4" is the logical further development of the BAT 600 but still retains downward compatibility. State-of-the-art TFT technology is used for the display, which attains a brightness level of 450 cd/m² in Ex applications. As an option, the POLARIS Panel PC 10.4" is also available with a daylight readable display. The Panel PC 10.4" allows process visualisations to be connected directly in explosive areas without the need for any additional intrinsically safe isolation cards. There is no need to lay blues lines for intrinsically safe circuits. A separate wiring of the data line is not necessary. The Panel PCs can be connected directly to the PROFIBUS-DP or the control station’s communication interface. Available features include for example RS422/485 or PROFIBUS-DP and the option of a supply module for hand-held scanners. An intrinsically safe USB interface for a USB Ex i memory stick makes it easy to transfer the device’s configuration. On request, the devices are also available as turn-key system solutions in a Stainless-steel enclosure for wall or floor mounting. The visualisation is created with the „BMS-Graf- pro“ programming package (Version 6.xxx), which has been specially developed and optimised for this purpose.
