Pepperl+Fuchs KCD2-SCS* two-channel analog IS barrier

Click2Contact

Pepperl+Fuchs has expanded its K-System range with the launch of the KCD2-SCS* interface module, a two-channel analog I/O intrinsic safety barrier with dual functionality. Traditionally, separate modules were required to handle input and output signals, but this solution combines both in one compact 12.5 mm housing, offering a packing density of just 6 mm per channel. The result is a module that saves space in the control cabinet while streamlining integration and reducing system complexity.

Each channel can be configured individually for analog input or analog output, which means one channel can be used for position monitoring while the other simultaneously controls a positioner. The KCD2-SCS* is also fully HART-compatible, functioning as a SMART transmitter power supply or SMART current driver, and can be operated in either current sink or current source mode with DIP-switch adjustments. Flexibility enables compatibility with a wide range of control systems while also delivering long-term investment return, since modules can be repurposed elsewhere in the system as requirements evolve.

Certified to ATEX, IECEx and UL standards, and meeting SIL 2 (SC 3) requirements — with redundancy up to SIL 3 — the KCD2-SCS* is suitable for demanding process industry applications.
