The Pepperl + Fuchs KFD2-EB2 Power Feed Module is a compact and efficient solution designed to supply power to various devices within an automation system. This module is engineered to provide a stable 24 V DC power through the Power Rail, with an output rated operating current of up to 4 A. It is equipped with twin input terminals that allow for the daisy-chaining of the power supply, enhancing the flexibility and ease of system expansion.
One of the key features of the KFD2-EB2 is its integrated fault signal relay output, which can be configured as a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contact. This functionality enables the module to transmit collective error messages through the Power Rail, alerting the control system to any faults within the connected devices, thus ensuring prompt maintenance actions and minimising downtime.
The module's robust design includes a replaceable fuse, ensuring protection against overcurrent conditions. Additionally, the unit is designed with LED status indicators that provide immediate visual feedback on power and error states, simplifying troubleshooting and monitoring.
Constructed to fit on a standard 35 mm DIN mounting rail according to EN 60715, the KFD2-EB2 is suitable for stationary use and boasts an IP20 degree of protection, making it ideal for controlled environment applications. Its ambient operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C ensures reliable performance even in demanding industrial settings.
The KFD2-EB2 is also certified for use in hazardous areas of Zone 2, with ATEX and IECEx markings, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of industries where safety and reliability are paramount. Its electromagnetic compatibility complies with the Directive 2014/30/EU, ensuring that it does not interfere with other equipment and maintains stable operation in industrial locations.
Overall, the Pepperl + Fuchs KFD2-EB2 Power Feed Module is a vital component for modern automation systems, offering reliability, safety, and ease of use for engineers and technicians in various sectors.
