Industrial Application Solutions
Legacy System Integration: Bridge DeltaV controllers with existing PLC networks, RTU stations, and supervisory systems without costly infrastructure replacement. The KJ3003X1-BA1 translates proprietary protocols into DeltaV-compatible data streams for unified HMI visualization.
Analytical Instrument Connectivity: Interface with gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, pH analyzers, and moisture meters that output serial data. Automate calibration sequences and alarm management through DeltaV control modules.
Modbus Device Networks: Aggregate data from Modbus RTU flowmeters, energy meters, variable frequency drives, and smart transmitters into centralized DeltaV databases. Supports multi-drop configurations with up to 32 slave devices per RS-485 segment.
Barcode Scanner & RFID Integration: Enable material tracking and batch genealogy by connecting industrial barcode readers and RFID interrogators to DeltaV batch management systems for pharmaceutical and food processing compliance.
Configuration & Deployment Advantages
Pre-configured function blocks in DeltaV Control Studio accelerate commissioning—simply assign communication parameters, device addresses, and polling intervals through intuitive graphical interfaces. The card's onboard buffer (2 KB TX/RX) prevents data loss during network congestion or controller scan delays.
Hot-swappable design allows field replacement without system shutdown, critical for continuous process industries. Built-in surge protection (±15 kV ESD immunity) and watchdog timers ensure fault-tolerant operation in electrically harsh environments.
System Architecture & Compatibility
Mounts directly into DeltaV S-series and M-series carriers (VE4006P2, VE4014, VE4022) with automatic hardware recognition. Compatible with DeltaV software versions 10.3 through 15.1 LTS. Supports redundant controller configurations with automatic failover for mission-critical communication links.
Integrates with DeltaV AMS Device Manager for remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and performance trending. HART-over-serial passthrough enables advanced device management without additional gateways.
