| Pepperl+Fuchs Announces K-Systems Now Conform to SIL Ratings |
.jpg) Ensures adherence to International safety standards for systems and processes TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs flexible K-System components now meet SIL IEC61508 ratings to ensure conformity to international safety standards for systems and processes, at no additional cost to the user. SIL ratings not only help reduce safety risks, but provide a number of additional benefits including uniform documentation, global certifications, extensive international supply, fewer parts to stock, as well as proven engineering and global support. The K-System is a collection of modular components that provides reliable signal transfer protection between field devices and control systems. This highly flexible product line consists of high-density intrinsic safety isolators for hazardous areas, signal conditioners for non-hazardous areas, limit alarms and logic controls—all in one housing style. Keyed removable terminals ensure modules are always properly connected. Modules mount in any orientation to panels, DIN rails, motherboards, or to the innovative Pepperl+Fuchs PowerRail. PowerRail is a wiring alternative that eliminates the need to daisy chain power, eliminates I/O points and wiring for lead monitoring, and allows for full power redundancy. Both voltage supply and centralized fault indication are available over the PowerRail. Users simply snap the component on and it’s ready to go. Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality process automation products and services. Pepperl+Fuchs is the number one provider of hazardous area technology from intrinsic safety to purge and pressurization, on-line corrosion monitoring and Fieldbus.
