PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PEPPERL & FUCHS 097966 - K-System PROFINET Gateway for Intrinsically Safe Barriers
This module serves as a PROFINET IO gateway for the Pepperl & Fuchs K-System series of intrinsically safe isolated barriers. It enables the integration of up to eight K-System modules, connected to hazardous area field devices, into a standard PROFINET industrial Ethernet network. The gateway facilitates deterministic data exchange between intrinsically safe circuits and a PROFINET controller, ensuring reliable operation in process automation applications.
