Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006105743A1] A thin-client terminal (1,1') according to the invention serves for use in a potentially explosive area (ExB) and has at least the following components: an EDP device (11 ,11'), which can be programmed using software, has graphics capabilities, has its own storage and computation capacity, is connected, via at least one data transmission channel (K), to a computer (C) - which is not arranged in the potentially explosive area (ExB) and acts as a server - and is capable of communicating with the latter as a thin client in accordance with the client/server principle, and a display (12) which is connected to the EDP device (11 , 11 ') and is intended to display data. The thin-client terminal (1,1') according to the invention is explosion-proof or is intrinsically safe and can thus be used in the potentially explosive area (ExB). The thin-client terminal (1,1 ') also preferably has an explosion-proof or intrinsically safe keyboard (13) which is connected to the EDP device (11 ,11') and is intended for inputting data.
