Description
Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2-EB2.R4A.B Redundant Power Feed Module
The Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2-EB2.R4A.B is a specialized power feed module engineered to provide a reliable 24 V DC supply to the Power Rail system. Specifically designed for hazardous locations classified as Zone 2 or Division 2, this device serves as a critical interface that ensures your isolators remain powered even in demanding industrial environments where explosive atmospheres may be present.
Built for maximum system availability, the KFD2-EB2.R4A.B supports redundant configurations to prevent single points of failure in power delivery. It features an integrated collective error messaging relay that instantly alerts controllers to device or wiring faults via a binary I/O point, while front-facing LEDs provide immediate visual diagnostics of power and fault status. The module’s compact 20mm housing and 35mm DIN rail mounting make it an efficient addition to any control cabinet.
Key Features:
✅ ATEX, IECEx, and FM certified for Zone 2 / Div. 2 hazardous areas
✅ Redundant power supply configuration capability (requires two modules)
✅ IP20 rated housing for industrial protection
✅ RS-485 Bus forwarding for seamless communication integration
✅ Reversible relay contact output (NO/NC) for flexible fault signaling
✅ SIL-rated functional safety (provides no dangerous failures)
✅ 5 AT replaceable fuse with group fusing support
✅ Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
✅ Removable green screw terminals for easy installation and maintenance
📦 Package Options:
🔹 Standard Unit: KFD2-EB2.R4A.B single redundant power feed module

FAQs:
How many modules do I need for a redundant setup?
Redundant systems require two KFD2-EB2.R4A.B modules to ensure a secondary power source is available if one fails.
Can I change the fault relay behavior?
Yes, the relay can be configured as normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC) using the S1 DIP switch on the front of the device.
What is the maximum current output?
The module supplies a maximum current of 4 A to the Power Rail.
Does this device affect my SIL safety calculations?
No, the device provides no dangerous failures in terms of functional safety and does not influence the SIL value of the supplied isolators.
