REMOTE I/O SYSTEMS feature IMPRESSIVE FLEXIBILITY
The complexity of machines and advanced systems have increased. Sub-processes need to be seemlessly integrated. Rapid and reliable transmission of signals and data is essential. In this evolving market, R. STAHL provides sophisticated technology for automation applications in explosive atmospheres: E.g. Zone 1 and Zone 2 remote I/O systems. These are highly modular and versatile. The adaptable system integrates to the users needs. Many modules with intrinsically and non-intrinsically I/O are available to fit all needs. Suitable for incredibly demanding applications and harsh environments. Process data, like temperatures, flow and levels, are consistently and quickly transmitted from Zone 1 or Zone 2 to control systems. Remote I/O systems can also efficiently operate actuators, such as solenoid valves and positioners in hazardous areas.
Explosion protected Remote I/O systems from R. STAHL are suitable for diverse functions and the harshest of industrial environments. They are a preferred solution for virtually all tasks in the process industry. This linked graphic of built-in features illustrates the advantages of remote I/O technology installed in hazardous areas for control compared to conventional "point to point" installations.
- Up to 90% space savings:
No bulky switch and distributor cabinets in the control room. - Up to 50% cost savings:
Savings in material and working time for field wiring. - Up to 25% faster:
Extensive functions for simplifying commissioning on-site and remotely. - Up to 12 months earlier:
Integrated diagnostics provide an early warning of failures and avoid system downtimes. - 100% HART 7 transparent:

The benchmark in process automation: IS1+ Remote I/O
Continuous development ensures that the Remote I/O System IS1+ is, and remains, the market leading solution. International certificates for explosion protection and ship building is a statement of confidence. The IS1+ System is used over the world in Zone 1, Zone 2, Division 1, and Division 2 areas.
Other advantages of the IS1+ include:
- Easier installation, quicker commissioning and shorter maintenance times.
- Can be used in extreme environments of -40 °C to +75 °C and are thus also suitable for offshore systems and LNG tankers.
- Long service life of at least 15 years even under harsh environmental conditions.
- Detailed diagnostics ensure safe operation and enable predictive maintenance.
- Can be combined with other products and technologies regardless of the manufacturer and process control system or controllers.
- Flexible and easy to use in virtually any automation system or network.
IS1+ is thus the ideal solution for your automation tasks and control coordinator in the process industry.
IS1+ fits everywhere
Ideal for extending or building installations, the IS1+ Remote I/O Systems is suitable for control and applications in hazardous areas or harsh industrial environments. R. STAHL's IS1+ is found throughout the world in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, machine building, food & beverage and oil & gas industries. It is also perfect for areas where space is constrained and weight matters, such as on FPSO and LNG tankers. Many I/O-modules allow the system to adapt for different environments and situations.
