Process Automation Solution – Emerson KJ3201X1-BA3 | DeltaV Digital Input Card
Where This Product Is Used
The Emerson KJ3201X1-BA3 is a Digital Input (DI) Card designed for use within the Emerson DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS) platform. It is widely deployed across high-reliability industrial environments where discrete field signal acquisition is critical:
- Oil & Gas Processing Plants – Monitoring valve position feedback, pump run/stop status, and emergency shutdown (ESD) signals.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Facilities – Acquiring discrete inputs from pressure switches, level switches, and interlock circuits.
- Power Generation – Reading turbine trip signals, breaker status, and auxiliary equipment states.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Capturing clean-room door interlocks, agitator status, and batch sequence triggers in FDA-regulated environments.
- Pulp & Paper / Water Treatment – Integrating field device status into DeltaV process control loops.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the KJ3201X1-BA3 compatible with DeltaV version 14.x and later?
A: Compatibility depends on your specific DeltaV release. We recommend verifying against Emerson’s I/O compatibility matrix or contacting our team — we can cross-reference your controller firmware version.
Q: Can this card be used in a SIL 2 safety loop?
A: The KJ3201X1-BA3 can be applied in SIL-rated architectures when used per Emerson’s certified SIL documentation and with appropriate redundancy configurations. Consult your functional safety engineer.
Q: What is the difference between KJ3201X1-BA1 and KJ3201X1-BA3?
A: The suffix (BA1, BA3) denotes hardware revision levels. BA3 is a later revision with minor component updates. Functionally equivalent for most applications — confirm with Emerson’s revision history if your project requires a specific revision.
Q: Do you supply the I/O carrier separately?
A: Yes. Contact us with your full system BOM and we will quote the complete subsystem including carriers, power supplies, and controller modules.
Q: What lead time should I expect?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on sourcing channel.
