Product Introduction
The Emerson KJ3102X1-BA1 (Catalog No. 12P1863X032) is a high-precision Analog Input Module designed for use in DeltaV distributed control systems (DCS). As part of the CHARM I/O subsystem, it ensures scalable, flexible, and reliable process automation. It supports 16 input channels, each independently configurable for different signal types such as 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, or thermocouples, depending on installed CHARM types.
Engineered for high-density I/O environments, the KJ3102X1-BA1 enables enhanced plant availability, fast commissioning, and reduced hardware wiring requirements. This module is widely used in industries where real-time analog signal acquisition, accuracy, and system reliability are non-negotiable.
Designed to operate within Emerson’s DeltaV Electronic Marshalling architecture, it provides seamless integration with other CHARM components, hot-swappable design for minimized downtime, and integrated diagnostics for proactive maintenance.
