Emerson KJ3002X1-BF1

Product Introduction:
The Emerson KJ3002X1-BF1 is an 8-channel analog input module within the Emerson DeltaV distributed control system. It acquires 4-20 mA current loop signals from field transmitters and converts them into digital process variables for the DeltaV controller. The module supports HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication, enabling bidirectional digital communication with smart field instruments for configuration, diagnostics, and additional variable access beyond the primary 4-20 mA signal.

Working Principle:
The KJ3002X1-BF1 receives 4-20 mA current loop signals from field transmitters through its input channels. Each channel conditions the analog signal, performs analog-to-digital conversion, and transmits the digitized process variable to the DeltaV controller via the LocalBus. When HART-enabled transmitters are connected, the module superimposes digital HART communication on the 4-20 mA signal, enabling bidirectional data exchange for remote configuration, diagnostics, and access to additional process variables stored in the smart transmitter.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install on the appropriate DeltaV I/O carrier with a compatible terminal block
  • Set the terminal block key position to A1 to match the I/O card
  • Connect field wiring to the terminal block following the wiring diagram on the left side of the card
  • Ensure LocalBus power (12 VDC at 150 mA) and bussed field power (24 VDC at 300 mA) are available from the carrier
  • Maintain operating temperature within specified range
  • Follow Emerson installation documentation for hazardous area requirements

Usage Precautions:

  • Remove field power before removing or connecting the device
  • Only one unit at a time shall be removed with system power energized
  • The unit contains no user-serviceable parts and shall not be disassembled
  • Calibration is not required for this module
  • Verify HART compatibility of connected field instruments before configuration
  • Perform periodic I/O loop assessments to verify signal integrity
