Overview
Fuchs VisuNet GXP workstations are ATEX/IECEx certified, UL Listed PCs or thin-
client based remote monitors intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres such as
Zones 1/21 and 2/22, Class I/II, Division 2, and Class III. Two display sizes are available
—
19
inch and 21.5 inch. This manual covers the 21.5 inch models. For information on the 19 inch
models, see the product pages at www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
The modular VisuNet GXP consists of three core field-replaceable devices:
•
DPU1100-* and DPU1200-* display units with optional 10-finger multi-touch sensors. The
displays and touch tensors are optically bonded with the hardened front glass.
•
Computing units:
• TCU1100-* and TCU1200-* thin client units that run the latest Fuchs RM
Shell firmware. Using standard Ethernet technology, they allow connection to host
systems in the non-Ex area.
• PCU1100-* and PCU1200-* PC units run an open Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating
system that allows installation of any software, including SCADA packages.
•
PSU1100-* and PSU1200-* power supply units provide the above devices with 24 V DC
power. They are available as DC or wide-range AC versions.
VisuNet GXP components come preassembled in a panel. As a standard mounting option, a
bezel is available that allows the panel to be mounted into a system housing or cabinet
(mounting kit required). The panel can also be flush mounted into a cabinet from behind with
additional mounting brackets.
