Switch Amplifier
Features
• 2-channel isolated barrier
• 24 V DC supply (Power Rail)
• Dry contact or NAMUR inputs
• Passive transistor output, non-polarized
• Line fault detection (LFD)
• Reversible mode of operation
• Up to SIL 2 acc. to IEC 61508
Function
This isolated barrier is used for intrinsic safety applications. It
transfers digital signals (NAMUR sensors/mechanical
contacts) from a hazardous area to a safe area.
Each proximity sensor or switch controls a passive transistor
output for the safe area load. The normal output state can be
reversed using switch S1 for channel I and switch S2 for
channel II. Switch S3 enables or disables line fault detection of
the field circuit.
During an error condition, the transistors revert to their de-
energized state and LEDs indicate the fault according to
NAMUR NE44.
A unique collective error messaging feature is available when
used with the Power Rail system.
