- PLC systems with analog input modules accepting 4–20 mA / 0–10 V signals
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 9468/32-08-11 is the correct module for your application:
- Signal Type: Confirm your field instrument outputs a standard analog signal (4–20 mA / HART).
- Channel Count: Verify the required number of I/O channels matches this module’s configuration.
- Hazardous Area Zone: Confirm Zone 1 or Zone 2 classification at the field device location.
- Certification Region: ATEX (Europe) / IECEx (international) — confirm local regulatory acceptance.
- Backplane Slot: Ensure physical slot compatibility with your existing R. STAHL 9400 chassis.
- Power Budget: Verify 24 V DC bus supply capacity for the additional module load.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a Pepperl+Fuchs KFD2 series as a direct replacement?
A: Functionally similar, but physical form factor and backplane interface differ. A direct drop-in replacement requires the same R. STAHL 9400 series module. Third-party alternatives require external DIN rail mounting and rewiring.
Q: Is the 9468/32-08-11 still in production?
A: R. STAHL periodically updates their product line. Contact us to confirm current production status and available stock of new or equivalent units.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. New units carry manufacturer warranty. Refurbished/tested units carry a 90-day Konmask functional warranty. Details provided at time of quotation.
Q: Can you supply the full R. STAHL 9400 series system?
A: Yes. Konmask stocks a wide range of R. STAHL 9400 series modules, backplanes, and bus couplers. Inquire for a complete BOM quotation.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: In-stock items ship within 3–5 business days. Out-of-stock items typically 2–6 weeks depending on sourcing channel.
