Description

Digital instrument
The present invention relates to digital instrument, and be particularly related to the power of digital instrument transmit and with the communication of digital instrument.
Many houses, structures and facility etc. have such zone and area, promptly need the process that monitors and control in this zone.These zones are considered to dangerous as the consequence that may pollute of band blast or inflammable gas or liquid.Latent dangerous factor such as spark, electric arc and temperature need be maintained at lsafety level in the deathtrap.Can use the instrument that is positioned at the deathtrap to detect and control, information be propagated to Other Instruments and/or controller by cable.Such as on the platform of Petroleum Production, the interior temperature in zone that may comprise blast or inflammable gas can be by the local apparatus measures that is connected with remote controllers, and these remote controllers can give the alarm when arriving dangerous high scale.
Some are arranged about use the regulation of the electric equipment such as instrument in the deathtrap.Such as, in the zone that may comprise inflammable gas, equipment must or be packed and protect with suitable blast or burning protective cover, and perhaps equipment must be made into inherently safe.For inherent safety, to or must be limited in can not producing in any case dangerous level by the power supply that is positioned at the deathtrap and provides.In other words, the energy level in the equipment must be such, promptly under the situation of short circuit, can not light any inflammable gas that is present in the zone.Inherent safety has such advantage, comprises that promptly the electric equipment of instrument can or interrupt except that de-energisation can shifting out in the deathtrap such as the power supply of electrical separation device.
The power limitations that in any zone inherent safety is required is to be determined by the character that easily occupies this regional hazardous material.Such as, gas is classified according to their light off characteristics.Need the gas classification of minimum energy ignition need the restriction maximum of power supply of confession.For inherent safety given to the detailed description of gas classification by the annex A of standard EN 50014.
