German KIRA plug KIRA model KIRA price

KIRA plug is a control module that can output a signal or provide a discrete signal to actuate controlled equipment when control is required, while also receiving feedback signals from the equipment to report to the host. It is an important component in fire alarm linkage systems. Input/output modules available on the market can provide a pair of passive normally open/normally closed contacts to control the equipment. Some manufacturers' modules can be configured via parameters for active output (such as GST GST-LD-8301). Corresponding variants include dual input/output modules and multi-input/output modules. During a fire alarm, the alarm controller activates external devices requiring linkage via output modules, such as smoke exhaust valves, air supply valves, fire shutters, fans, and alarm bells, and can receive action acknowledgments from the devices. Output modules are connected to the controller's loop bus and can be installed near the controlled equipment or inside floor terminal module boxes. Electronic coding allows for on-site addressing. The output control logic of the output module can be programmed according to project requirements. When the controller receives an alarm signal from a detector, it transmits the linkage control signal to the output module via the bus according to the pre-programmed procedure, and the output module activates the linked fire protection equipment; an acknowledgment signal is received after the device acts.

KIRA plug introduction

Fieldbus is an open interconnection network that can interconnect with networks at the same layer or different layers, and can also enable sharing of network databases. Fieldbus embodies the characteristics of distribution, openness, interconnection, and high reliability, which are precisely the shortcomings of DCS systems. DCS typically uses one-to-one separate signal transmission; the analog signals employed have low precision and are susceptible to interference. Operators in the control room often find it difficult to adjust parameters and predict faults with analog instruments, resulting in an 'out of control' state. Many instrument manufacturers define their own standards, leading to poor interchangeability and relatively single-function instruments that struggle to meet modern requirements. Furthermore, almost all control functions are located in the control station. In contrast, FCS adopts one-to-many bidirectional signal transmission. The digital signals used offer high precision and strong reliability, keeping equipment under the remote monitoring and controllable status of the operator at all times. Users can freely choose devices from different brands and types for interconnection as needed. Smart instruments possess rich functions such as communication, control, and computation, and control functions are distributed among various smart instruments. Thus, we can see the significant progress of FCS compared to DCS. Due to these characteristics of FCS, it offers considerable advantages in design, installation, commissioning, and normal production: Firstly, since intelligent front-end devices can perform relatively complex tasks, separate controllers and computing units are no longer needed, saving on hardware investment and footprint. FCS wiring is relatively simple, and multiple devices can be connected to a single transmission line, greatly reducing installation costs. Since field control devices often have self-diagnostic functions and can send fault information to the control room, maintenance workload is reduced. Meanwhile, users have a high degree of autonomy in system integration and can flexibly select suitable products from manufacturers. The overall system reliability and accuracy are also significantly improved. All this helps users reduce installation, usage, and maintenance costs, ultimately achieving the goal of increasing profits.

KIRA plug features

Field control devices feature communication capabilities, facilitating the construction of the plant's lower-level control network. The openness and consistency of communication standards ensure system openness and interoperability between devices. Standardization of function blocks and structures enables interchangeability among devices with identical functions. Decentralizing control functions to the field level provides the control system architecture with a high degree of distribution. Fieldbus technology integrates automation devices and systems into information networks, opening up broader application areas; multiple control devices can be connected on a single twisted pair, reducing installation costs; lowering maintenance expenses; improving system reliability; and providing users with greater flexibility in system integration.

KIRA plug applications

Each type of bus largely has its own application areas. For example, FF and PROFIBUS-PA are suitable for process control in industries such as petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, and metallurgy; LonWorks, PROFIBUS-FMS, and DevieceNet are suitable for buildings, transportation, agriculture, and other fields; DeviceNet and PROFIBUS-DP are suitable for the manufacturing industry. However, these divisions are not absolute, as each fieldbus strives to expand its application areas and penetrate each other's markets. Most fieldbuses are backed by one or several large multinational corporations and have established corresponding international organizations to expand their influence and gain more market share. For instance, PROFIBUS is mainly supported by Siemens Company, which established the PROFIBUS International User Organization. WorldFIP is mainly backed by Alstom Company, which established the WorldFIP International User Organization.
