2.1 Definition
The POLARIS BASIC Panel PCs have been consistently developed from the BAT
Series, and permit downwards compatibility. The latest TFT technology with very high
viewing angle is used for the display.
These unit sizes have been designed as “Human Machine Interface” for convenient
– controllers on simple machinery such as mixers, dryers or fuelling stations
– operation of more complex machinery and simple systems such as reactors,
centrifuges or ball mills

With the POLARIS BASIC Series it is possible to connect directly to the potentially
explosive area process visualisations without additional intrinsically safe separator cards.
The laying of blue lines for intrinsically safe circuits is dropped. A separate wiring of the
data line is not necessary.
The POLARIS BASIC Series can be directly connected to the PROFIBUS-DP or the
communication interface of the control station.
Available features include e. g. RS422/RS485, PROFIBUS-DP, RS232 or TTY. An
intrinsically safe USB interface for a USB Ex i-memory stick enables the device
configuration’s easy transferability.
