A Match for Even the Harshest Weather Conditions

Wind, waves and salt water: The prevailing conditions at sea are rough for humans and machines alike. This is why the marine industry has special requirements for the technical equipment aboard vessels. The equipment must be covered by a marine approval, as well as explosion-proof certification, to ensure it can survive such use – like WAGO’s I/O System can.

Communication solutions, such as fieldbus connections, I/O modules and boards, must have marine approval, as well as an Ex-proof certification, to ensure that they can be used to control hydraulic valves. And this is where the problem starts: In the past, the worldwide market offered products that only fulfilled one of the two requirements. The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM was the first to combine two approvals in one system. However, this is not the only reason PG Flow Solutions AS relies on WAGO.
