Safety above All.
Globally certified protection for people, plants, and the environment
With more than 70 years of experience and as the inventor of the intrinsic safety barrier, Pepperl+Fuchs is a leading manufacturer of interfaces for hazardous areas. Nowadays, Interface Technology from Pepperl+Fuchs is reknown and established in process industries all over the world. Technical expertise, application know-how, and a profound market knowlegde ensure that interface technology form Pepperl+Fuchs is tailored to meet specific market requirements in every detail.
One highlight is the Pepperl+Fuchs K-System with its extensive product range, worldwide certifications, unique versatility, and easy handling. From simple isolator modules for safe signal transmission to highly functional components with numerous additional functions, the K-System portfolio offers modules and systems for a wide range of applications in hazardous areas—the best protection for people, plants, and the environment, as proven by millions of installed devices from North Sea platforms to clean room applications.
Interface technology from Pepperl+Fuchs offers maximum safety and highly functional features.
A wide range of functions, easy maintenance, and high flexibility: this is what the K-System in particular stands for. Certified worldwide and unsurpassed in reliability, it guarantees maximum process reliability in numerous industries. The K-System is designed for mixed applications of Ex and non-Ex modules.
Its barrier function limits the energy fed into the intrinsically safe circuit. The galvanic isolation of the measuring and control circuits protects control systems and field devices from interference on the signal path, therefore ensuring the efficiency and availability of the system.
K-System technology offers various outstanding features. The Power Rail for DIN rail mounting significantly reduces wiring and maintenance costs. The new K-DUCT power rail with two separate cable ducts maximizes space and channel density in the cabinet. K-System safety relays provide triple redundant switching contacts, diagnostics and line fault transparency (LFT), ensuring maximum protection in emergency situations. These are just some highlights—discover much more benefits in this video!
Positioners are often equipped with analog position indicators that provide feedback to the controller to confirm that the correct position has been reached. This feedback is typically sent back to the control system as a 4 … 20 mA signal. Previously, a separate isolator module was required for the input and output signal. The KCD2-SCS* combines both functions in one device. Find out more about the unique 2-channel devices for analog signals with individual configurability of the channels!
Pepperl+Fuchs has established special Solution Engineering Centers (SECs) worldwide, where experienced experts plan, develop, and design customer-specific solutions on a daily basis. One such solution can be seen in this video: Pepperl+Fuchs has developed the BGT rack with integrated K-System modules, which enables users to easily replace outdated Eurocard technology with state-of-the-art interface technology.
