EMERSON KJ3241X1-BA1 – DeltaV Serial Interface Card | DeltaV S-Series Platform
Engineering Background
The KJ3241X1-BA1 (part number 12P2506X072) is a serial interface card engineered by Emerson Electric for integration within the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) platform. Designed to bridge legacy serial communication protocols with modern DeltaV S-Series controllers, this card enables seamless data exchange between field devices and the DeltaV control network in demanding process environments.
Product Positioning
Targeted at process automation engineers and system integrators managing brownfield upgrades or multi-protocol plant architectures, the KJ3241X1-BA1 delivers reliable serial I/O connectivity without requiring full system replacement. It is the preferred interface solution for facilities operating Emerson DeltaV S-Series controllers where RS-232/RS-485 serial device integration is required.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The KJ3241X1-BA1 installs into a DeltaV S-Series controller carrier and communicates via the DeltaV internal bus. Serial field devices connect to the card’s RS-232/RS-485 port. Data is processed by the DeltaV controller and transmitted over the DeltaV control network to operator workstations and historian servers. The card supports standard DeltaV module addressing and is configured via DeltaV Explorer, requiring no additional hardware or software licenses beyond the standard DeltaV system.
