Description
Pepperl+Fuchs KCD2-SOT-2 2-Wire 4-20mA Intrinsically Safe Isolation Barrier DIN Rail Signal Galvanic Isolator Explosion Proof
Product Overview

The KCD2-SOT-2 is a high-performance 2-channel switch amplifier from Pepperl+Fuchs' K-System, specifically engineered to transfer digital signals from field devices to control systems with complete galvanic isolation. This signal conditioner accepts NAMUR sensors (acc. to EN 60947-5-6) or dry contact inputs and provides two passive transistor outputs for seamless integration with PLCs, DCS systems, and other industrial controllers.

With a compact 12.5 mm width and 24 V DC power supply (via Power Rail or terminals), the KCD2-SOT-2 is the ideal solution for hazardous area signal transfer, digital input isolation, and line fault monitoring in industrial automation and process control applications.

Certified for SIL 2 (SC 3) acc. to IEC/EN 61508, the KCD2-SOT-2 delivers reliable, safety-rated performance for demanding industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits
  • 2-Channel Operation: Two independent signal channels in a single 12.5 mm housing — maximizes panel space efficiency and reduces installation costs
  • Dual Input Options: Accepts both NAMUR sensors (acc. to EN 60947-5-6) and dry contact (mechanical switch) inputs — flexible field device connectivity
  • Galvanic Isolation: Reinforced insulation between input/output and input/power supply (300 Veff), plus basic insulation between output/power supply and output/output (50 Veff) — ensures safe separation of field and control circuits
  • Line Fault Detection (LFD): Monitors field wiring for breakage (I ≤ 0.1 mA) and short-circuit (I ≥ 6.5 mA) conditions — provides diagnostic information for predictive maintenance
  • Reversible Mode of Operation: DIP-switch configurable for normally open or normally closed operation — adapts to any application requirement
  • SIL 2 Certified: Safety Integrity Level 2 (SC 3) acc. to IEC/EN 61508 — suitable for safety-related applications
  • High Switching Frequency: Operates up to 5 kHz — supports high-speed digital signal processing
  • Fast Response Time: ≤ 200 µs response — ensures real-time signal transfer
  • Power Rail Compatibility: Connects to Pepperl+Fuchs Power Rail for simplified daisy-chained power distribution
  • LED Status Indicators: Visual indication of channel status, fault conditions, and power supply — simplifies troubleshooting

Function Description

The KCD2-SOT-2 provides complete galvanic isolation between field circuits and control circuits. The device transfers digital signals from NAMUR sensors (proximity sensors, level switches, flow monitors) or dry contacts (mechanical switches, relays, push buttons) from the field to the control system.

How it works:
  • Each input channel independently controls a passive transistor output
  • The mode of operation can be reversed via DIP switches (normally open / normally closed)
  • Line fault detection (LFD) monitors field wiring integrity and can be disabled if not required
  • Fault conditions are indicated via front-panel LEDs according to NAMUR NE44 and a collective error message output on the Power Rail
Signal Flow:
Field Side (Input) Control Side (Output)
NAMUR sensor ──► KCD2-SOT-2 ──► Passive transistor output ──► PLC/DCS input
Dry contact ──► (Galvanic isolation) ──► 30 V DC / 50 mA max.
Applications

The KCD2-SOT-2 is specifically designed for digital signal transfer in demanding industrial environments:
