The Emerson KJ3244X1‑BA1 is a Series 2 DeviceNet Interface Card for Emerson’s DeltaV™ Traditional I/O system. It enables integration between DeviceNet field devices and the DeltaV control platform, supporting robust and secure bi‑directional communication. Certified for hazardous-area deployment, this card is ideal for process automation systems requiring reliable network connectivity and flexible I/O integration.

Key Features

• DeviceNet communication over the DeltaV S-series I/O architecture

• Series 2 module for DeltaV Traditional I/O expansion

• Integrates DeviceNet bus devices directly into the control system

• Keyed terminal blocks prevent mis‑connection with I/O target cards

• Certified for hazardous area installation (Zone 2/Div 2)

• Plug‑in module: removal/insertion only with field power removed

• Maintenance‑free: no calibration or user‑serviceable parts

Technical Specifications

Industry Applications

• Integrating DeviceNet-enabled field devices (sensors, drives, valves) into DeltaV DCS

• Process control in oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and utilities

• Hazardous-area remote I/O setups where intrinsic safety is required

• Applications requiring standard DeviceNet bus topology with DeltaV systems

• Compact installations where space-efficient communication modules are needed

Product Advantages

• Seamlessly connects DeviceNet devices to the DeltaV system without extra field controllers

• Hazardous-area certified, allowing installation in Zone 2/Div 2 environments

• Rotary keying prevents incorrect card-to-terminal block alignments

• Rugged design tolerates industrial vibration, shock, and humidity extremes

• Hot-swappable design (when safely powered down) minimizes downtime

• Field power drawn only from DeviceNet bus improves installation simplicity

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the power draw of this DeviceNet card?
