PEPPERL+FUCHS Isolated Barrier Universal Temperature Converter KCD2-UT2-Ex1
The Pepperl+Fuchs KCD2-UT2-Ex1 Universal Temperature Converter is a 1-channel isolated barrier designed for intrinsic safety applications in industrial environments.
Key Features
- 1-channel isolated barrier for hazardous area applications
- 24 V DC supply via Power Rail
- Accepts thermocouple, RTD, potentiometer, or voltage input signals
- Current output: 0/4 mA to 20 mA
- Sink or source mode operation
- Configurable using PACTware software
- Line fault (LFD) and sensor burnout detection
- SIL 2 certification according to IEC/EN 61508 / IEC/EN 61511
Function & Application
This isolated barrier converts RTD input signals or thermocouple input signals from hazardous areas to 0/4 mA to 20 mA signals in safe areas. The removable terminal block KC-CJC-** is available for thermocouples when internal cold junction compensation is required.
Fault conditions are indicated by an LED and user-configured fault indication outputs. When operated via Power Rail, an additional collective error message is available for comprehensive system monitoring.
Configuration
The device is easily configured using PACTware configuration software, providing flexible setup options for various industrial applications.
