Pepperl+Fuchs Ethernet-APL Enclosure Solutions provide preconfigured field enclosure assemblies for integrating Ethernet-APL communication into process plant infrastructure.
Designed for installation in Zone 2/22 hazardous areas, the solutions are available using GR Series glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosures or SR Series stainless-steel enclosures.
The enclosure solutions incorporate Ethernet-APL rail field switches for connecting field devices and can be configured around different network and I/O requirements.
Depending on the configuration, solutions may incorporate multiple Ethernet-APL rail field switches, Remote I/O systems, multi-input/output devices, or other supported field devices.
