The K-System—Technology for Process Industries

Safe and Reliable Signal Processing

  • Safety above All. Interface Technology for hazardous areas
    Safety above All. Interface Technology for hazardous areas

    The Pepperl+Fuchs K-System is the most extensive portfolio of interface modules for hazardous areas— focusing on reliability, flexibility, and efficiency. It encompasses 200 isolated barriers and 150 signal conditioners, providing a broad range of functions and certifications for worldwide use in all areas of process industries.

    Safety is put first with the use of the K-System: Its barrier function limits the energy fed into the intrinsically safe circuit. The galvanic isolation protects control systems and field devices from interference caused by ground loops. The K-System is G3 compliant and enables up to SIL 3 to be achieved for all signal types. The product portfolio addresses countless applications in both hazardous and mixed areas, offering modules from simple switch amplifiers to highly functional components.

    Simple installation and maintenance are ensured by removable terminal blocks and integrated diagnostics. Furthermore, it offers cost and space savings in control cabinets.
