Emerson KJ3004X1-BA1 | DeltaV H1 Fieldbus | PLC Module Card

Product Description

High-Performance Fieldbus Communication

The Emerson KJ3004X1-BA1 (Model KJ3004X1BA1) is a Foundation Fieldbus H1 interface card designed for the DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS). This module serves as the primary communication link between the DeltaV controller and Foundation Fieldbus H1 field devices, such as smart transmitters, positioners, and actuators. By utilizing the H1 protocol, the KJ3004X1-BA1 enables digital, bi-directional communication, allowing for not only primary process variables but also advanced multivariable data and device diagnostics to be integrated directly into the control strategy.

Technical Integrity and Signal Management

Note: While some documentation may refer to analog inputs, the KJ3004X1-BA1 is specifically a Foundation Fieldbus H1 Interface Card. It supports up to two H1 segments, providing power and digital communication management for Fieldbus-compliant devices. The "BA1" variant is a simplex (non-redundant) module, engineered to draw approximately 600 mA at 12 VDC. The module supports a high-speed update rate and is fully compliant with the Fieldbus Foundation physical layer specifications, ensuring interoperability with a vast range of third-party H1 instruments.
