Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2-SL2-Ex1 Single Channel Safety BarrierHART Communication
Product Advantages
The KFD2-SL2-Ex1 is a single-channel safety barrier from
Pepperl+Fuchs, designed for loop-powered, 2-wire smart transmitters
in Zone 0/20 hazardous locations. It transmits 4 mA…20 mA HART
signals losslessly from the field to the safe-area control room,
while providing selectable current source/sink output, line fault
detection, and configurable alarm direction, ensuring high process
data accuracy and integrity.
Product Highlights
• True loop power: No additional operating power supply is
required, drawing power directly from the 4…20 mA signal for
simplified wiring.
• Bidirectional HART communication: Supports remote transmitter
calibration via a handheld device or the AMS asset management
system, ensuring zero maintenance downtime.
• SIL 2 / SC 3 certification: Complies with IEC 61508 functional
safety standards, meeting the high reliability requirements of
emergency stop and fire and gas systems. • Transparent circuit
faults: Open or short circuits immediately trigger LED and
transistor alarms, helping operations teams quickly locate the
fault.
Typical Applications
• Signal isolation for wellhead pressure transmitters on oil
platforms
• Continuous level monitoring for LNG tanks
• Analog input for SIL 2 safety loops in chemical plants
Installation and Maintenance
The KFD2-SL2-Ex1 features a 35 mm DIN rail mount and a slim 12.5 mm
housing, saving cabinet space. Pluggable terminals enable online
replacement without disconnecting the circuit. With a wide
operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and 2.5 kV
three-terminal isolation, the KFD2-SL2-Ex1 operates robustly under
extreme conditions.
