Web tool for intrinsic safety verifications

The safety of people, the environment and equipment is the top priority when operating process technology systems. Where plant areas are at risk of explosion, for example due to the substances used in the process, appropriate protective measures must be taken and reliably documented. However, this is a complex task, as the calculations must take into account the entire wiring of the system as well as the ambient conditions. The automation experts at Rösberg have been offering the SmartEXI web tool for this task since February 2025. It can be used to calculate whether equipment may be interconnected and the maximum possible cable length. The tool also determines the protection level of the circuits, the Ex group and much more. For the first time, a simple solution is now available that can be used across the board without restrictions and provides tamper-proof verification.

Tamper-proof documentation in three steps

The procedure for creating intrinsic safety certificates is very simple. In the first step, users create their system or assets and enter the necessary information such as name, Ex group, protection level, etc. in a corresponding mask. In the second step, the system automatically checks whether, for example, two devices may be interconnected in the given environment (Ex zone classification, temperatures, etc.) and what maximum cable lengths are permitted between the devices. In the third step, users then receive a tamper-proof certificate that they can save in addition to their technical system documentation. Throughout the entire process, the transparent calculation logic ensures that it is clear how the web tool has determined the results. Users also benefit from manufacturer independence, tamper-proof documentation, increased efficiency and ease of use. Without time-consuming and expensive implementation, you can quickly obtain a secure Ex-i certificate.
