The further developed KI-TOP control head of the third generation sets new standards in process automation under the motto "Premium is the new standard".

With the KI-TOP, precise control and feedback of four valve positions is possible. For optimum visual monitoring, five freely programmable LEDs are integrated as standard, configurable across the entire RGB color spectrum.

The control head consists of a lower part with bayonet lock and a hood made of either plastic or stainless steel. Thanks to the integrated control electronics and pilot valves, the application is particularly versatile. Via M12 connectors or cable glands, the components can be connected to all common communication systems such as PLC, AS-i or IO-Link. The connection to the supply air is made via quick-connect couplings, which considerably simplifies installation.

Features:

• Autotune (teach function) for all KIESELMANN valve types
• Optimized cycle function for more sustainable CIP cleaning
• 4 Hall position sensors as standard
• Only one signal transmitter required per valve type
• More precise position detection for maximum process reliability
• Universal PCB for simplified handling of all valve types

Functions in detail:

Housing

• No mechanical connection between PCB and solenoid valve block – significantly more resistant to vibrations
• External dimensions of the head remain unchanged

Solenoid valves

• New, more reliable solenoid valve from FESTO
• Faster response and switching times thanks to optimized air channels
• Increased flow rate of up to ~200 L air/min
• Improved efficiency and sustainability
• Pushbutton for manual operation directly on the PCB

Overpressure valve

• Newly developed overpressure valve
• Newly designed vent channel for higher air throughput

RGB LEDs

• Five RGB LEDs installed as standard for visual feedback
• Individually configurable across the entire RGB color spectrum
