TERMINOLOGY<br />
Is the EU symbol for explosive atmospheres. It indicates that the concerned device can be<br />
used in a well specified explosive atmosphere.<br />
ATEX Stands for ”Atmosphères Explosives” (Explosive Atmospheres) and is the name for the<br />
respective directive giving the legal requirements for controlling explosive atmospheres and<br />
the suitability of equipment and protective systems used in these environments.<br />
IEC The <strong>International</strong> Electrotechnical Commission is the leading global organization that<br />
publishes consensus-based <strong>International</strong> Standards and manages conformity assessment<br />
systems for electric and electronic products, systems and services, collectively known as<br />
electrotechnology.<br />
PED The purpose of the Pressure Equipment Directive is to harmonise national laws of Member<br />
States regarding the design, manufacture, testing and conformity assessment of pressure<br />
equipment and assemblies of pressure equipment. More in particular the Directive<br />
concerns items such as vessels, pressurised storage containers, heat exchangers, steam<br />
generators, boilers, industrial piping, safety devices and pressure accessories.<br />
SAFETY INTEGRITY LEVEL<br />
Safety Integrity Level is a measure of the safety risk of a given process. The higher the SIL<br />
level, the greater the impact of failure and the lower the failure rate that is acceptable.<br />
The HART ® (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Protocol is the global standard for<br />
sending and receiving digital information across analog wires between smart devices and<br />
control or monitoring system.<br />
Field Device Tool standardizes the communication and configuration interface between all<br />
field devices and host systems. FDT provides a common environment for accessing the<br />
devices’ most sophisticated features. Any device can be configured, operated, and maintained<br />
through the standardized user interface – regardless of supplier, type or communication<br />
protocol.<br />
PACTware ® (Process Automation Configuration Tool) is a frame program that operates on a<br />
PC or control system. It is a device-independent software program that communicates with<br />
all approved DTMs.<br />
DTM DTM (Device Type Manager) is not a stand-alone program but a device-specific software<br />
driver designed to operate within a frame program such as PACTware. It includes all special<br />
information needed to communicate with a specific device. There are two basic categories<br />
of DTMs—Communication (e.g., HART, Fieldbus, Profibus) and Field Device.<br />

European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group is a consortium of equipment manufacturers,<br />
food industries, research institutes as well as public health authorities developing<br />
guidelines for equipment used throughout the hygienic industries.<br />
IP Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are developed by the European Committee for Electro Technical<br />
Standardization (CENELEC), specifying the environmental protection the enclosure of a<br />
device provides.<br />
