Pepperl+Fuchs KLD2-PR-EX1.IEC1 Fieldbus Power Repeater 99344

The Pepperl+Fuchs KLD2-PR-EX1.IEC1 (P/N: 99344) is a high-performance fieldbus power repeater from the K-System family. It is made to power and extend intrinsically safe fieldbus segments that meet IEC 61158-2 standards for PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1. It is certified to work with the FISCO model and can output 100 mA of current with signal repetition and galvanic isolation. This means that up to 10 field devices can work in dangerous Zone 1/2 locations without losing voltage over long distances. This little DIN-rail module makes sure that process automation for oil and gas, chemicals, and medicines can communicate reliably.

KLD2-PR-EX1.IEC1 Key Features:

1) FISCO Model Compliance: Works well with fieldbus topologies that are safe by design and can handle numerous devices with Uo ≥12.8 V and Io 100 mA restrictions.

2) Signal Repeater Functionality: Keeps fieldbus signals strong and clear over long distances, up to 1200m.

3) Galvanic Isolation: According to EN 50178 and EN 50020 standards for noise immunity, this feature completely separates the input and output electrically.

4) Easy to Install: The IP20 casing, DIN-rail installation, and screw terminals (up to 2.5 mm²) make it easy to set up in control cabinets.

5) EMC Robustness: Meets NAMUR NE 21 for working well with other electrical devices in tough industrial settings.

Technical Specifications

Application in Industry:

Use the KLD2-PR-EX1.IEC1 in dangerous places to power PROFIBUS PA or H1 segments, connecting safe control rooms to field equipment including valves, transmitters, and actuators. It reduces system downtime by conditioning signals and providing consistent power, making it perfect for tree and spur topologies in refineries, pipelines, and mining operations. Some of the benefits include lower costs because of less cabling, better safety in Ex zones, and easy connection with Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2 barriers.
