Description

The Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2-SOT3-EX1.LB is a single-channel switch amplifier and isolated barrier designed for the safe transfer of digital signals between hazardous and non-hazardous areas. The module accepts inputs from NAMUR proximity sensors or mechanical contacts installed in hazardous locations and converts them into isolated transistor outputs for control systems, PLCs, DCS platforms, and safety instrumented systems.

Operating from a 24 V DC power supply, the amplifier incorporates galvanic isolation between the field circuit, control circuit, and power supply. This isolation helps protect connected equipment from electrical interference and ground potential differences while maintaining signal integrity. The unit supports line fault detection, allowing automatic monitoring for open-circuit and short-circuit conditions in field wiring. Fault conditions can be transmitted through the dedicated passive fault output for rapid diagnostics and maintenance.

The Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2-SOT3-Ex1.LB is a single-channel isolated barrier for intrinsic safety applications. It transfers digital signals (like NAMUR sensors or dry contacts) from a hazardous area to a safe area, typically using its two passive transistor outputs to control safety systems or signal splitters.

This isolated barrier is used for intrinsic safety applications.The device transfers digital signals (NAMUR sensors or drycontacts) from a hazardous area to a safe area.The input controls two passive transistor outputs.Via switches the mode of operation can be reversed and theline fault detection can be switched off.Via switch the function of the second output can be defined asa signal output or a fault indication output.A fault is signalized by LEDs acc. to NAMUR NE44 and aseparate collective error message output..

Technical notes

The module accepts dry contact or NAMUR proximity sensor inputs on the field side (terminals 1+, 2+, 3-) in accordance with EN 60947-5-6. The input circuit provides an open-circuit voltage of approximately 10 V DC and a short-circuit current of approximately 8 mA. The switching threshold is set between 1.2 and 2.1 mA with a hysteresis of approximately 0.2 mA. Line fault detection is integrated, identifying wire breakage at currents ≤ 0.1 mA and short-circuits at currents ≥ 6.5 mA.
