KEYSTONE ELECTRONICS PZN+125/1IS 0303545 – Intrinsically Safe Interface Module | PZN Series Signal Isolator Platform
Engineering Background: The PZN+125/1IS is engineered by KEYSTONE ELECTRONICS as part of their PZN Series — a platform purpose-built for hazardous-area signal conditioning in process automation environments. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of Zone 0/1/2 and Division 1/2 classified areas, this module provides galvanic isolation and signal conversion between field instruments and control systems, ensuring personnel safety and signal integrity in explosive atmospheres.
Product Positioning: The PZN+125/1IS (catalog reference 0303545) is a DIN-rail mountable intrinsically safe interface module targeting process industries including oil & gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and water treatment. It serves as a critical boundary device between the safe area (PLC/DCS) and the hazardous area (field sensors/actuators), making it an essential component in SIL-rated safety loops and Ex-certified control architectures.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PZN+125/1IS operates as a two-port boundary device. On the hazardous-area side, it connects to field instruments (transmitters, switches, sensors) via intrinsically safe terminals, limiting voltage and current to Ex ia/ib parameters. On the safe-area side, it presents a conditioned, isolated signal to the PLC/DCS analog input card or digital I/O module. The module draws power from the 24 V DC safe-area bus, requiring no separate field-side power supply. Signal flow is unidirectional or bidirectional depending on channel configuration — consult the KEYSTONE ELECTRONICS PZN Series system manual for loop diagrams and entity parameter matching with field devices.
