The Pepperl + Fuchs EG2-R is a versatile and reliable switch amplifier designed to facilitate the safe transmission of digital signals from hazardous areas to non-hazardous areas. This 2-channel isolated barrier is equipped with a 24 V DC supply and is capable of interfacing with both dry contact and NAMUR sensor inputs. Each channel is independently configurable, allowing for a tailored mix of input types and line fault detection settings.
The EG2-R ensures operational integrity with its line fault detection (LFD) feature, which monitors for any line breaks or short circuits, enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of your system. The unit's mode of operation can be reversed, providing flexibility in signal processing and control schemes.
With relay outputs and active transistor outputs, the EG2-R offers a robust solution for controlling safe area loads. The status of each channel is clearly indicated by LEDs, which are in accordance with NAMUR NE44 standards, providing at-a-glance diagnostics.
Constructed to fit into a standard Eurocard format, the EG2-R is designed for easy installation into a 19" rack system, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control cabinets and simplifying integration into existing setups. Its compact and durable design, along with a protective degree of IP20, makes it suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
The EG2-R is also compliant with IEC 61508 up to SIL 2, demonstrating its reliability and suitability for use in systems that require a high level of functional safety. This switch amplifier is an essential component for industries looking to maintain safe and efficient operations in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present.
