Why Choose the iEP-5010G-DCN?
The iEP-5010G-DCN is purpose-built for industries that require continuous uptime, cybersecurity assurance, and safe operation in hazardous environments. Its combination of real-time networking, rugged hardware design, and global safety certifications makes it ideal for modern industrial IoT and edge automation systems.
With built-in support for TSN/WTSN networking and Intel TCC real-time capabilities, it ensures precise synchronisation and predictable data flow—critical for industrial control systems, smart infrastructure, and automated operations.
ATEX, IECEx and C1D2 – What’s the Difference?
While ATEX is widely recognised across Europe, other international hazardous area standards also exist. Two of the most common are IECEx and C1D2.
ATEX is the European Union directive for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. It is mandatory for products sold within the EU for hazardous area applications.
IECEx is an international certification scheme that provides globally recognised standards for explosive atmosphere equipment. It is based on IEC standards and is commonly accepted in many countries outside Europe.
C1D2 is a North American hazardous location standard commonly used in the United States and Canada. It focuses on areas where flammable gases or vapours may only be present under abnormal conditions.
Application Areas
- Oil & Gas monitoring and control systems (hazardous Zone 2 environments)
- Industrial automation and smart factory edge computing
- Energy and utilities infrastructure monitoring
- Transportation and railway signalling systems
- Marine and offshore control systems
- Smart IoT gateways for distributed industrial networks
- Cybersecure industrial edge computing deployments
