Overview
The Pepperl+Fuchs KCD2‑SCD‑1 Safety Barrier is part of the K‑System DIN rail mounting series. It provides a 24 V DC supply via Power Rail and drives current into field devices such as valve positioners and I/P converters located in hazardous areas. Moreover, it repeats the input signal from the control system to the field with galvanic isolation, ensuring safe and reliable operation. In addition, the module supports HART® communication, allowing digital signals to be superimposed on the analog loop for diagnostics and configuration.
Engineers value the KCD2‑SCD‑1 because it combines compact design (12.5 mm housing width) with functional safety up to SIL 2 (SC 3) according to IEC/EN 61508. Therefore, it is widely adopted in oil, gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries where intrinsic safety and long-term reliability are mandatory.
