Pepperl+Fuchs Introduced Switch Amplifiers Feature Line Fault Detection

Published:2011/9/1 1:57:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

Pepperl+Fuchs, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electronic sensors and the undisputed world market leader for intrinsic safety and explosion protection technology, lately announced three new Switch Amplifiers with Line Fault Transparency (LFT).

NIC2831 and HIC2832 are one- and two-channel switch amplifiers with LFT suitable for mounting on termination boards. As in a standard DIN rail mounting configuration, the K-System KFD2-SOT2-EX1.N offers line fault transparency to the control system. According to the company, these one- and two-channel switch amplifiers with LFT significantly aim to reduce the amount of wiring required in hazardous area applications. They also provide process automation users with desirable monitoring of field and control lines, and the ability to transfer switch signals on each individual channel. Using switch amplifiers with LFT, switching and fault signals from the hazardous area are transferred to the control level at the same time through a single output to maximize signal transmission integrity. Although it is isolated, the amplifier transfers line breakage and short circuit error signals from the input circuit together with the standard signal using a resistive switching output isolator module.
