Hi,

Can anyone suggest me what type of HMIs can be used in a purge panel for Class 1 Div2? I don't want to use separate HMI enclosure. I am looking for a panel mounted HMI with touch screen or display screen with function keys. Is Allen Bradley's 6181X HMI or any other HMI suitable for rugged environment with IP66 can be used? what are the different possibilities to use HMI in a purge panel?

 

some can, some cannot. call ab and ask them.

If you can believe the brochure it is

I have used one in a similar situation but I now prefer RedLion products. The AB have a high rate of failure in my experience.

After they fail and Rockwell replaces the parts under warranty then they are OK.
