Industrial Workstations
Initech carries a complete line of industrial workstations.
PC-EX is a PC operator terminal for the most challenging control
and visualization tasks in hazardous areas (Zones 1, 2 and
22). It is an industry-standard local visualization solution
for the chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries,
e.g. for process control systems.
In the iPC-EX solution, only the operator control and monitoring
elements (monitor, keyboard and mouse) are actually located in
the hazardous area, while the PC is installed up to 1000 m away
in the safe area, i.e. well outside the danger zone. The PC hardware
can be replaced - or the software updated - quickly, easily and
without any restrictions in the safe area. Since the iPC-EX system
accesses the standard PS/2 ports on the PC for the keyboard and
mouse as well as the VGA output, any IBM-compatible PC can be
used.
