The HART Loop Converter converts the HART
communication signal of a field device in analog values or trip
points.

HART Multiplexer
A wide variety of Termination Boards are available. For additional information about topology, refer to HART Multiplexer System
manual.
Multiplexer Master and Slaves are connected to Termination Boards, which transmits the control signals via screw terminals. In

K-System
this case the Termination Board provides a parallel connection to the Multiplexer or Slave. This assembly method is completely
independent of DCS.
For hazardous location applications, the intelligent field device must be isolated from the safe area via a K-System isolator. The
isolated signals are then connected to Termination Boards, where a parallel connection to the Multiplexer or Slave is made via a
26-pin ribbon cable.

HART
The HIS devices of K-System are mounted on a As shown in the figure, the isolation modules are snapped
35 mm DIN rail acc. to EN 60715. To reduce wiring and onto the Universal Power Rail in a vertical downward
installation costs, Power Rail is the optimum solution. movement.
Low heat dissipation allows vertical or horizontal mounting.

K-System
Power Rail
The Power Rail is a plastic insert into a standard DIN rail and
contains two leads that deliver power to the modules. Power
is sent through the rail by a power feed module that delivers
24 V DC at 4 A. The module uses a 5 A fuse to protect the
barriers. The Power Rail virtually eliminates the risk of wiring
faults and facilitates easy expansion. Power Rail is available
in two versions:
• UPR-03: 3-lead version supplies two leads for power and
one lead for error signal

Multiplexers
• UPR-05: 5-lead version supplies two leads for power, one

HART
lead for error signal and two leads for serial data
exchange.
