Storage and transport

PC-based control for safe hydrogen storage and transport

Hydrogen is stored and transported in a liquid or gaseous state. In combination with oxygen, this highly flammable gas can form an explosive atmosphere. Beckhoff offers comprehensive solutions for safe automation up to zone 0, along with data acquisition and transmission to the cloud.

Safe control and monitoring:

• Intrinsically safe signal transmission and functional safety up to zone 0 thanks to ELX terminals with TwinSAFE SC
• Data pre-processing and transfer to the cloud via edge device
• Fiber-optic coupler for communication over distances of up to 20 km
