The Alstom Grid's range of the KITZ 100 series courier interface units provides flexible and reliable serial connection for interfacing with desktop computers or master stations. KITZ interface units' flexibility securely enables conversion between K-BUS ports and IEC60870 format data.
Using a K-BUS system, Courier Protocol enables communications with up to 32 devices at a maximum distance of 1 km in electronically hostile environments. In addition, KITZ can also be used to directly interface with integrated SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. Designed to ensure local or remote connections with desktop and substation locations, KITZ can communicate with any K-BUS device.
