Overview
Fuchs VisuNet Computing Units TCU1100-*/TCU1200-* and PCU1100-*/PCU1200-*
are ATEX/IECEx certified, UL listed devices intended for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres, such as Zones 1/21 and 2/22 and Class I/II, Div. 2 and Class III.
Connected to Fuchs display units, the TCU and PCU devices serve as thin-client- or
PC-based computing units. The TCU devices run VisuNet RM Shell firmware and allow users
to easily connect to a host system via Ethernet. The PCU devices run a pre-installed
Windows
®
operating system and allow users to install individual software packages such as
SCADA applications to visualize and control their automation application.
Two USB Ex i interfaces support the connection of intrinsically safe accessories that match with
the provided entity parameters, such as Fuchs' EXTA2 keyboard and mouse system.
The USB Ex-e interface can be used to connect other third-party devices that comply with the
installation requirements.
For extended distances, the computing units are available with an optional multi-mode fiber-
optic interface.
VisuNet computing units are optimized for use with the modular Fuchs HMI
components Display Unit (DPU1100-*/DPU1200-*) and Power Supply unit (PSU1100-
*/PSU1200-*) of the VisuNet GXP product line.
