Description

The Emerson KL4201X1-BA1 is a critical hardware component within the DeltaV Electronic Marshalling system. This CHARM Baseplate provides the physical and electrical mounting infrastructure for Characterization Modules (CHARMs), enabling flexible I/O mapping without the need for traditional cross-marshalling wires. It is designed for large-scale industrial automation, including oil and gas, petrochemical, and mining sectors, facilitating a decentralized I/O architecture that reduces installation complexity and optimizes cabinet space.

Features

  • Supports DeltaV Electronic Marshalling architecture.
  • Distributes 6.3 VDC CHARM Bus power and 24 VDC Field Circuit power.
  • Ruggedized design for G3 harsh environment compliance.
  • Supports high-density I/O configurations.
  • Compatible with standard DeltaV S-Series CHARM modules.

Applications

This baseplate is used in distributed control systems (DCS) to streamline field wiring. It is ideal for environments requiring high reliability, such as refineries, chemical processing plants, and offshore platforms where space-saving and simplified maintenance are critical.
