complete range ofinterface products Sensors and actuators are used in many places on a ship for a wide range of functions. On chemical tankersthe liquid levels and the internal tank pressure must be continuously monitored. During the loading and purging processes, it is necessary to continuously check the pump pressure for safety reasons. To maintain an even keel and correct draught, the load states must be continuously measured and sent to a central computer. Ballast movement is quickly registered by the computer in order to compensate for critical states. During the transport of LNG, the issue is to maintain the necessary tank pressures and low temperatures. In many cases the media is potentially explosive. On offshore platforms for pumping crude oil and natural gas only inflammable materials capable of forming potentially explosive atmospheres are processed. The explosion protection in the signal circuits is provided by explosion-proof interface systems such as buffer stages and Remote I/O Systems. Process customisation and control can also be undertaken in poten- tially explosive atmospheres using modern industrial PCs or control panels manufactured by R.STAHL. >
