Description
The TURCK MK35-LI-EX0 is an intrinsically safe signal isolator/converter engineered by Turck—a global leader in industrial automation,sensor technology,and hazardous area solutions.Designed as the”safety barrier”between field sensors(e.g.,gas detectors,pressure transmitters,level sensors)and control systems(PLCs,DCS,SCADA)in explosive environments,it provides galvanic isolation to prevent hazardous energy transfer,while converting and conditioning analog signals(4-20mA,0-10V)with high precision.Unlike standard isolators,the TURCK MK35-LI-EX0 features Ex ia IIC T6防爆认证(intrinsic safety certification),wide temperature operation,and robust signal filtering—making it indispensable for applications where explosive gas/dust risks,signal interference,and regulatory compliance are critical to operational safety and process reliability.
Application Scenarios
A Middle Eastern oil refinery faced safety risks in its crude oil distillation unit:Legacy signal transmitters lacked intrinsic safety protection,requiring costly explosion-proof enclosures,while unfiltered signals caused 12%of gas detector false alarms monthly(each false alarm triggered a 2-hour shutdown costing
80,000).Afterdeploying∗∗TURCKMK35−LI−EX0∗∗modules(oneperfieldsensor),therefineryachievedcompliantandreliableoperation:Themodule’sExiaIICT6certificationeliminatedtheneedforexplosion−proofenclosures(saving
200,000 in hardware costs),while 0.1%F.S.signal accuracy and EMI filtering reduced false alarms to 0.5%monthly.Over 12 months,unplanned shutdowns dropped by 95%,avoiding$4.64 million in production losses.For this refinery,the TURCK MK35-LI-EX0 transformed high-risk signal transmission into a safety-compliant,cost-effective process.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation Point 1:Multi-Grade Intrinsic Safety Design.Adopting double galvanic isolation and current-limiting circuits,the TURCK MK35-LI-EX0 achieves Ex ia IIC T6 Ga certification—allowing use in the most hazardous Zone 0 areas(where explosive gas is continuously present).A European hydrogen refueling station used this feature to connect hydrogen detectors directly to the control system,eliminating intermediate safety barriers and reducing installation costs by 35%while meeting IEC 60079 safety standards.
Innovation Point 2:High-Precision Signal Conditioning.Equipped with 24-bit ADC and digital signal processing,the module achieves±0.1%F.S.accuracy and<0.1%long-term drift—outperforming standard isolators(±0.5%F.S.).A U.S.chemical plant used this precision to monitor solvent tank levels with±1mm resolution,preventing overflows and reducing waste by 20%compared to legacy systems.
Innovation Point 3:Robust EMI Immunity.Integrating multi-layer PCB shielding and ESD protection(±15kV contact),the module resists interference from industrial motors and high-voltage equipment.A Chinese paint factory maintained stable signal transmission even in environments with 5kV transient voltages,reducing sensor signal loss by 98%and eliminating process deviations caused by distorted data.
Application Cases and Industry Value
Case 1:Biogas Plant Methane Monitoring
A German biogas plant deployed TURCK MK35-LI-EX0 modules to connect 20 methane detectors(0-100%LEL)to its SCADA system.The module’s Ex ia IIC T6 certification complied with ATEX Zone 1 requirements for biogas processing areas,while galvanic isolation prevented ground loop interference that had previously caused erratic detector readings.Before deployment,methane concentration measurement errors reached 8%,leading to inefficient biogas production;post-deployment,errors dropped to 0.5%,increasing biogas output by 12%(valued at$180,000 annually).The module’s status LEDs also enabled instant fault detection,reducing maintenance response time from 4 hours to 15 minutes.
Case 2:Pharmaceutical Solvent Storage
A Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturer used TURCK MK35-LI-EX0 modules to monitor ethyl acetate levels in 15 storage tanks(hazardous Zone 2).The module’s 4-20mA signal isolation prevented cross-contamination of sensor signals,while compliance with GMP and ATEX standards simplified regulatory audits.Before deployment,manual calibration of legacy isolators required monthly tank shutdowns(8 hours each,
40,000pershutdown);post−deployment,themodule’s12−monthcalibrationintervaleliminatedshutdowns,saving
480,000 annually.The precise signal conversion also reduced solvent waste by 15%,aligning with the manufacturer’s sustainability goals.
