Pepperl + Fuchs - KFD2-BR-1.PA.1500 BASIC SEGMENT COUPLER, OUTPUT 24-26V 400MA, ATEX, ZONE 2, PROFIBUS, 24-26V OUTPUT

Basic Segment Coupler, ATEX Zone 2

This ATEX rated FieldConnex basic Segment Coupler is an all-in-one gateway and fieldbus power supply for connecting PROFIBUS PA to PROFIBUS DP transparently. The power output sis ideal for long cable lengths and high device counts. Device couplers provide explosion protection for live work at the spur where needed. Suitable for installation in hazardous areas classed as ATEX Zone 2/Class I, Div. 2

Communication is transparent between DP and PA and the gateway of the Segment Coupler makes each PA device appear as if it was connected to DP, in reference to addressing, cyclic/acyclic data exchange and the transfer rate. Segment design is clear and easy to understand without subnetworks. The gateway itself is configuration-free, reducing commissioning time and engineering work.

Availability and a long service life are achieved through a passive impedance filter and a design optimised for low heat dissipation. The fieldbus diagnostic handheld (FDH-1) connects directly to test plug sockets located on the plug-in terminal.
