K-System – Isolated barriers for analogue outputs and SMART current drivers

KCD2-SCD-Ex1 · KFD2-SCD2-Ex1.LK · KFD0-SCS-Ex1.55…

K-System isolated barriers for driving positioners, I/P converters and valves in the hazardous area with a 4–20 mA signal: SMART current drivers with HART, line fault detection (LFD) and versions up to SIL 3.

These isolated barriers carry the 4–20 mA signal from the control system to SMART I/P converters, electrical valves and positioners installed in the hazardous area, keeping the two circuits galvanically isolated. HART digital signals superimposed on the analogue value are transferred bidirectionally, so field instruments can be configured and diagnosed from the control system.

Alongside the Power Rail supplied current drivers, loop-powered versions with only a 5 V voltage drop and low power dissipation are available, plus a current/voltage converter that turns a 0–20 mA or 0–10 V signal from the hazardous area into a 4–20 mA output in the safe area.

Key features

  • Current output to the field with loads up to 650 Ω (KFD2-SCD2)
  • Bidirectional HART transfer and HART communicator test sockets
  • Line fault detection (LFD): an open or shorted field circuit presents a high impedance to the control side
  • Fault indication via LEDs and a collective error message output
  • Loop-powered version with a 5 V drop, also suitable for solenoid valves and LEDs
  • 0.1 % accuracy and versions up to SIL 3 to IEC/EN 61508
  • 12.5 mm or 20 mm width, screw, removable screw or push-in spring terminals
