Overview
The iConEx XY800 Series is a robust family of explosion-proof Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch screens, meticulously engineered for reliable operation in hazardous areas classified as Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 21. Designed to meet stringent international explosion-proof standards, these HMIs combine a high-performance computing core (featuring a 32-bit RISC CPU and a streamlined Linux OS) with a vibrant TFT display and versatile communication capabilities.
Their primary function is to provide a safe, intuitive, and durable control and monitoring interface for industrial automation systems within industries like oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining—where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present.
Core Design Philosophy: Safety and Reliability First
The foundational principle behind the XY800 Series is the intrinsic integration of comprehensive safety features without compromising on processing performance or connectivity. Achieving certifications like Ex d ib IIB + H2 T6 Gb (for gases) and Ex tD ibD A21 IP66 T80°C (for dust), it employs a compound design incorporating both flameproof (d) and intrinsic safety (ib) protection methods. This ensures that the device itself cannot ignite the surrounding atmosphere, even in the event of an internal fault or during direct touch operation.
The use of high-strength aluminum alloy for the enclosure—CNC-machined for structural integrity and finished with anti-corrosive coatings—further underscores its commitment to enduring reliability in harsh conditions.
Product Features & Characteristics
Certified Explosion-Proof Construction: Holds dual certification for both gas (Ex d ib IIB + H2 T6 Gb) and dust (Ex tD ibD A21 IP66 T80°C) environments, making it suitable for Zone 1/2 and Zone 21/22 hazardous areas, including those with hydrogen.
High-Visibility Display Options: Offers a range of TFT LCD sizes (7", 8", 10.4", 12.1", 15") with resolutions up to 1024x768 and a brightness of over 300 cd/m² (up to 450 cd/m² on some models), ensuring clear visibility even in brightly lit industrial settings.
Robust Processing and Storage: Powered by a 32-bit RISC CPU (400MHz or 800MHz variants depending on model) with 128MB Flash and 64MB DDR2 RAM, providing ample power for complex data acquisition, control algorithms, and running the proprietary XYFD2000 configuration software with C-like macro scripting support.
Extensive Industrial Connectivity: Features multiple isolated serial ports (RS-232/485/422), built-in Ethernet (on most models), USB hosts for peripherals and data transfer, and support for major industrial fieldbus protocols like Profibus-DP and CAN via optional or integrated interfaces.
Ruggedized Design Elements: Incorporates a fanless cooling system for operation in dusty environments, resistive touch technology capable of glove operation, anti-static treated touch surfaces, IP66 overall ingress protection, wide operating temperature ranges (including optional wide-temperature models), and robust M20 cable glands for secure wiring.

For precise warranty terms (duration, coverage), it is highly recommended to consult directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor.
FAQs
1. What does the explosion-proof certification Ex d ib IIB + H2 T6 Gb mean for the XY800 HMI, and where can it be used?
The explosion-proof certification Ex d ib IIB + H2 T6 Gb defines the specific hazardous environments where the XY800 HMI can be safely installed and operated. Breaking it down:
'Ex' signifies compliance with European ATEX-like standards for equipment used in explosive atmospheres.
'd' denotes Flameproof Enclosure (the housing contains and cools internal explosions to prevent external ignition).
'ib' indicates Intrinsic Safety (the touch screen circuit limits electrical energy below ignition levels).
'IIB' classifies suitability for gases like ethylene (beyond Group IIC gases).
'+H2' confirms approval for hydrogen-containing environments.
'T6' limits maximum surface temperature to 85°C (safe for low-ignition-temperature gases).
'Gb' indicates high protection for Zone 1/2 (occasional/frequent explosive atmospheres).
This marking certifies the XY800 for a wide range of gas/vapor hazards, including hydrogen applications.
2. How does the resistive touch screen technology benefit industrial use, especially in hazardous environments?
Resistive touch technology offers key advantages for harsh/hazardous settings:
Glove Compatibility: Operates reliably with gloves (standard for industrial safety/hygiene).
Environmental Resilience: Less affected by liquids, dust, or grime on the surface.
Durability: Scratch/abrasion-resistant glass/film construction.
Safety Integration: Simpler analog sensing eases integration into intrinsically safe (ib) designs, supporting certification.
This combination ensures reliability with PPE and in safety-critical applications.
3. What are the advantages of the fanless design and wide operating temperature range?
Fanless Design
Eliminates a common mechanical failure point (fans collect dust/debris, risk overheating or static discharge in explosive atmospheres). It enhances long-term reliability, reduces maintenance, and improves integrity in dirty environments.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Models supporting -40°C to +60°C/70°C perform reliably in extreme conditions (freezing outdoors, hot processing plants). This eliminates external heating/cooling equipment, simplifying design, cutting energy use, and lowering total cost of ownership—while ensuring consistent display/touch/electronics performance.
