EMERSON KJ4001X1-NA1 12P3373X012 REV:C

Description

Product Description
The EMERSON KJ4001X1-NA1 12P3373X012 REV:C is a specialized and critical Single Channel Isolated Thermocouple Input Module designed for Emerson’s highly reliable and safety-focused DeltaV SIS (Safety Instrumented System). This module is part of the CHARacterization Module (CHARM) family, which is a core component of the DeltaV SIS for interfacing with field instruments. The EMERSON KJ4001X1-NA1 designation specifies the module’s function (isolated thermocouple input), while 12P3373X012 REV:C is the detailed manufacturing part number and hardware revision. The primary role of this module is to provide a single, highly reliable, and fault-tolerant channel for connecting a thermocouple sensor to the DeltaV SIS controller. It performs signal conditioning, cold junction compensation, and analog-to-digital conversion, delivering a precise temperature value to the logic solver for use in safety-critical shutdown loops. For engineers designing SIS for processes with critical temperature parameters, selecting the correctly specified CHARM module like the KJ4001X1-NA1 is a foundational step in ensuring both safety and data integrity. Its design is integral to achieving the high diagnostic coverage and reliability required for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 or SIL 3 loops.

Product Parameters

• Module Type: Single-Channel, Isolated Thermocouple Input CHARM.
• Product Family: Emerson DeltaV SIS (formerly DeltaV S-series with SIS).
• Functional Model: KJ4001X1-NA1.
• Part Number: 12P3373X012 (specific configuration and ordering code).
• Revision: REV:C (indicating the third hardware revision).
• Input Type: Accepts a single thermocouple input. The specific thermocouple type (e.g., Type J, K, T) is determined by the associated terminal block and software configuration.
• Isolation: Provides high-degree channel-to-channel and channel-to-system isolation for safety and noise immunity.
• Diagnostics: Includes comprehensive onboard diagnostics to detect sensor failures (open circuit, short circuit), out-of-range signals, and module hardware faults.
• Hot Swappable: Designed to be inserted and removed from the CHARM carrier (e.g., a CIOC-E card) without de-energizing the system, facilitating online maintenance.
• Safety Certification: Certified for use in safety instrumented functions per IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards.

Advantages and Features

• High Safety Integrity: Designed and certified specifically for safety applications, providing the necessary diagnostics and failure modes to support SIL-rated loops.
• Simplified Safety Engineering: As part of the DeltaV SIS, it integrates seamlessly into the unified DeltaV engineering environment, using the same configuration tools as the standard process system but with dedicated safety libraries and faceplates.
• Exceptional Reliability and Diagnostics: The single-channel design and extensive diagnostics provide a high Safe Failure Fraction (SFF), which is crucial for calculating the Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) for the safety loop.
• Reduced Sparing Complexity: The hot-swappable, single-channel design means only individual point failures need to be spared, not entire multi-point cards, optimizing spare parts inventory.
• Unified System Architecture: Allows safety and standard process I/O to reside in the same DeltaV chassis, managed under one engineering workstation, reducing lifecycle costs and complexity.

Application Cases in Application Fields

• Oil & Gas (Fired Heater Safety): Monitoring the skin temperature of a critical fired heater. If the temperature exceeds a safe limit, the KJ4001X1-NA1 module provides the signal for the SIS to initiate a fuel shutoff.
• Chemical Processing (Rector Over-Temperature Protection): Providing the primary or secondary temperature input for a high-pressure exothermic reactor’s safety shutdown loop.
• Power Generation (Gas Turbine Exhaust Temperature): Monitoring exhaust temperature as part of the turbine’s overtemperature protection system (OTP).
• Pharmaceutical (Sterilizer Safety): Ensuring a sterilization vessel does not exceed its maximum allowable working temperature, protecting both product and equipment.

Comparisons with Competing Products
The EMERSON KJ4001X1-NA1 competes with safety-rated analog input modules from other SIS vendors, such as the Siemens SIMATIC ET 200SP F-AI module for S7-1500F/TF systems or the Rockwell Automation GuardLogix with PointGuard I/O. Its key differentiator is its deep and seamless integration within the Emerson DeltaV SIS ecosystem. Unlike a generic safety I/O module that requires separate configuration tools, the KJ4001X1-NA1 is configured, diagnosed, and documented entirely within the standard DeltaV engineering suite. This integration significantly reduces engineering, validation, and maintenance efforts for plants that standardize on the DeltaV platform for both basic process control and safety.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. System Compatibility: Ensure this CHARM is for use with a DeltaV SIS controller (e.g., DeltaV SIS with CIOC or CIOC-E cards) and not a standard DeltaV process system CHARM, which may look similar but lacks the safety certification.
2. Complete Assembly Required: The KJ4001X1-NA1 is just the electronic module. It requires a corresponding, correctly rated Terminal Block (TB) that matches the thermocouple type and a Carrier to plug into. These are separate part numbers.
3. Safety Lifecycle Compliance: This module must be used within a formally designed Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) as part of a full safety lifecycle (IEC 61511), including proper validation testing.
4. Configuration and Documentation: The specific thermocouple type, range, and alarm settings must be correctly configured in the DeltaV SIS software. As-built documentation, including the revision (REV:C), is critical for safety audits.
5. Use of Genuine Parts: For safety-critical applications, only genuine Emerson CHARMs and associated components should be used to maintain the system’s safety certification and integrity.
