PHOENIX Passive module 2321813 FLKM-2KS50/BFI/SPT/CS

PHOENIX Passive module 2321813 FLKM-2KS50/BFI/SPT/CS

Product Overview

The PHOENIX CONTACT Passive Module 2321813 (FLKM-2KS50/BFI/SPT/CS) is a sophisticated, pre-assembled interface cable designed for advanced industrial communication networks. It serves as a critical, high-integrity link between a fieldbus coupler or controller and remote peripheral devices. While technically "passive" as it requires no external power, its integration with SPT (Smart Plug & Technology) enables advanced diagnostic capabilities, making it an intelligent component in modern automation systems for protocols like PROFIBUS or PROFINET.

Key Features & Benefits

• Advanced Fieldbus Interface (BFI): The BFI connector is specifically designed for PHOENIX CONTACT's fieldbus components, providing a robust and reliable connection to PROFIBUS or PROFINET networks.

• Integrated Diagnostics with SPT: Smart Plug & Technology (SPT) allows for electronic identification of the cable module. This enables advanced diagnostics, such as channel-specific error messages in the controller, which drastically reduces troubleshooting and downtime.

• Pre-assembled Reliability: Factory-assembled connectors ensure perfect termination, eliminate installation errors, and provide a vibration-proof connection that is essential for network integrity.

• Superior Signal Integrity: The 2KS specification indicates a twisted pair design with an overall braided shield, offering maximum protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensuring stable data communication on the fieldbus.

• Plug-and-Play Installation: Allows for quick and error-free integration into fieldbus systems, significantly reducing commissioning time.

Technical Specifications

Applications

This interface cable is designed for building reliable and diagnosable fieldbus network infrastructures. Its primary applications include:

• PROFIBUS and PROFINET Networks: Connecting a fieldbus master/coupler (e.g., from Phoenix Contact's Inline station) to the first node in a remote I/O drop.

• Distributed Control Systems: Wiring between controllers and remote peripheral racks in automated assembly, packaging, and processing lines.

• Machine Networking: Creating robust network backbones inside machinery where electrical noise is a concern.

• Any application requiring a reliable, shielded, and diagnosable connection for fieldbus communication.

Compatibility & Integration Notes

• The BFI connector is designed for specific PHOENIX CONTACT fieldbus components. Verification of compatibility with the intended coupler or controller is essential.

• The SPT technology requires a compatible SPT-enabled fieldbus master/coupler to utilize the advanced diagnostic capabilities (e.g., displaying a missing module error).

• While passive, the SPT functionality makes this a "smart" passive component that enhances system visibility.

Why Choose This Product?

The PHOENIX CONTACT Passive Module 2321813 transcends a standard cable by integrating intelligence into the connection. It provides not just a physical link, but a diagnosable one. By combining a pre-assembled, shielded design with SPT technology, it future-proofs your installation, reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) through precise diagnostics, and ensures the highest level of network reliability and availability for your critical control systems.
