Emerson VE4002S1T1B2 KJ3001X1-BG1 Discrete Input Module with Fused Terminal Block
The Emerson VE4002S1T1B2 with KJ3001X1-BG1 card and KJ4001X1-CB1 fused terminal block delivers industrial-grade discrete input signal acquisition for DeltaV M-series distributed control systems. This complete module assembly combines an 8-channel digital input card with integrated fused termination, providing individual channel protection against field wiring faults while maintaining signal integrity for critical on/off status monitoring in process automation, safety systems, and equipment interlocks.
Fused vs. Non-Fused Terminal Blocks: Making the Right Choice
Understanding the difference between fused and non-fused discrete input termination is critical for system reliability and maintenance efficiency:
| Feature | Fused Terminal (KJ4001X1-CB1) | Non-Fused Terminal (Standard) |
|---|---|---|
| Channel Protection | Individual 250mA fast-blow fuses per channel | No individual channel protection |
| Fault Isolation | Single channel fault isolated; other channels operational | Card-level protection only; fault may affect multiple channels |
| Troubleshooting | Visual fuse indicators identify faulted channel instantly | Requires multimeter testing to locate fault |
| Field Wiring Errors | Protects against accidental voltage application | Overvoltage may damage entire card |
| Maintenance | Replace fuse without card removal (hot-swappable) | Card replacement required for damage |
| Cost | Higher initial cost, lower lifecycle cost | Lower initial cost, higher risk of card replacement |
| Best Applications | Harsh environments, field-installed devices, safety systems | Clean environments, panel-mounted devices, low-risk applications |
Recommendation: Fused terminals are essential for applications with field-mounted devices, frequent wiring changes, or where a single channel fault cannot be allowed to compromise adjacent inputs. The VE4002S1T1B2 with KJ4001X1-CB1 fused terminal block is the preferred choice for 80% of industrial installations.

Industrial Application Scenarios
Limit Switch Monitoring: Monitor valve position feedback, actuator travel limits, and mechanical equipment position switches in rotating machinery, conveyor systems, and material handling equipment. Fused inputs protect against wiring damage from moving equipment and vibration-induced short circuits.
Safety Interlock Verification: Acquire status signals from safety door switches, emergency stop buttons, light curtains, and guard position sensors in SIL-rated safety instrumented systems. Individual channel fusing ensures a single wiring fault cannot disable multiple safety inputs.
Proximity Sensor Networks: Interface with inductive, capacitive, and photoelectric proximity sensors for part detection, level switches, and flow switches. Fuse protection prevents sensor short circuits from cascading to adjacent channels during sensor failures or cable damage.
Alarm and Status Monitoring: Collect alarm contacts from motor control centers, VFD fault outputs, pump seal failure switches, and bearing temperature alarms. Visual fuse indicators enable rapid fault identification during alarm flood conditions.
Fused Terminal Block Advantages
The KJ4001X1-CB1 fused terminal block transforms the VE4002S1T1B2 into a fault-tolerant input system. Each channel features a dedicated 250mA fast-blow fuse accessible from the front panel without removing field wiring. When a fault occurs—whether from accidental voltage application, insulation breakdown, or short circuit—only the affected channel is disabled while the remaining seven channels continue normal operation.
Dual-color LED indicators provide instant visual feedback: green for active input, red for blown fuse. This diagnostic capability reduces troubleshooting time by 70% compared to non-fused terminals requiring multimeter testing. Replacement fuses are standard 5x20mm ceramic types available from multiple suppliers, eliminating proprietary component dependencies.
System Integration & Configuration
The VE4002S1T1B2 mounts to DeltaV M-series controller carriers via the LocalBus backplane, providing deterministic communication with 50ms scan cycle for time-critical interlock logic. Compatible with VE3005, VE3006, VE3007, and VE3008 controllers in both simplex and redundant configurations.
Configuration via DeltaV Explorer includes adjustable input filtering (5-100ms) to eliminate contact bounce from mechanical switches and relays. Alarm-on-change functionality triggers immediate notification when input states transition, enabling rapid response to process upsets or equipment failures.
Installation Best Practices
Wiring Guidelines: Use 18-22 AWG shielded twisted-pair cable for field wiring to minimize EMI pickup. Connect cable shields to terminal block ground at one end only (typically at the DI module) to prevent ground loops. Maintain minimum 150mm separation from AC power cables.
Fuse Selection: Factory-installed 250mA fuses are suitable for 95% of applications. For high-impedance sensors drawing <5mA, 100mA fuses provide enhanced protection. Never exceed 250mA rating as this may compromise card protection.
Common Wiring: The module supports common positive or common negative wiring configurations. Common negative (sinking) is preferred for NPN proximity sensors, while common positive (sourcing) suits PNP sensors and dry contact switches.
