Industrial Applications & Use Cases

The RKJ4110X1-CA1 extender solves critical installation challenges in process automation:

Cabinet Space Optimization: Enable compact DCS cabinet designs by routing CHARM baseplate connections at right angles, maximizing vertical rack space utilization in crowded control rooms and field junction boxes. Particularly valuable in offshore platforms and modular skid-mounted systems where cabinet real estate is at a premium.

Field Wiring Accessibility: Position CHARM I/O modules for optimal technician access during commissioning and maintenance. The right-angle configuration allows terminal blocks to face outward while maintaining proper cable management and bend radius requirements for intrinsically safe circuits.

Hazardous Area Segregation: Facilitate physical separation between safe area controllers and Zone 1/Division 1 field devices by extending IS CHARM baseplates into appropriately classified enclosures. Maintains intrinsic safety barriers while enabling flexible system architecture.

Retrofit & Expansion Projects: Add I/O capacity to existing DeltaV installations without complete cabinet redesign. The extender enables incremental system growth by connecting additional CHARM baseplates in configurations not originally planned during initial installation.

System Architecture Benefits

Strategic advantages for DeltaV system design and deployment:

Modular Scalability: Support phased project execution by pre-wiring extender infrastructure for future I/O expansion. Install extenders during initial construction, then add CHARM modules as process requirements evolve without disrupting existing operations.

Cable Management Excellence: The right-angle design facilitates organized cable routing through vertical and horizontal wireways, reducing installation time and improving long-term maintainability. Proper cable management is critical for intrinsically safe circuits where inadvertent contact with non-IS wiring could compromise safety barriers.

Vibration & Shock Resistance: Ruggedized construction withstands industrial environmental conditions including 10g half-sine wave shock and continuous vibration up to 0.7g from 13.2 to 150 Hz. Essential for installations on rotating equipment skids, compressor platforms, and mobile process units.

Temperature Extremity Performance: Wide operating range from -40°C to +70°C enables deployment in Arctic pipeline facilities, desert petrochemical complexes, and non-climate-controlled outdoor enclosures without derating or auxiliary cooling.

Installation & Configuration Guidelines

Engineered for straightforward integration into DeltaV CHARM architectures:

• Mounting: Attaches directly to IS CHARM baseplate using integrated mechanical connectors
• Cable Requirements: Compatible with Emerson-specified IS extension cables (ordered separately based on required length)
• Orientation: Right-angle configuration routes connections perpendicular to baseplate mounting plane
• Keying: Mechanical keying prevents incorrect installation and ensures proper signal integrity
• Grounding: Maintains continuous ground path through extender body for EMC compliance
• Documentation: Installation must follow DeltaV S-series CHARM hardware installation manual and applicable hazardous area installation instructions
