Emerson VE4001S2T2 Dry Contact Module

Product Introduction

The Emerson VE4001S2T1B3 Discrete Input Card is a high-reliability digital input module designed for mission-critical process control and industrial automation. This card captures discrete (on/off) field signals from sensors, switches, and relay contacts, converting them into precise digital data for Emerson DeltaV™ and Ovation™ control systems. Engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments, it provides fast signal response, robust isolation, and hot-swappable functionality. Its rugged build and advanced diagnostics help ensure uninterrupted monitoring of equipment status in industries such as power generation, chemical processing, oil & gas, and water treatment.

Product Parameters

Applications

• Process Automation – Monitors on/off status of valves, pumps, and interlocks in chemical and pharmaceutical plants.

• Power Generation – Captures turbine trip signals, boiler safeties, and auxiliary equipment status.

• Oil & Gas – Interfaces with field switches on pipelines, drilling rigs, and offshore platforms.

• Water & Wastewater – Tracks pump station alarms, gate positions, and treatment plant processes.

• Manufacturing – Detects machine states, conveyor sensors, and robotic cell triggers.

• Building Automation – Integrates HVAC, lighting, and fire-safety signal monitoring into central control.

Advantages

• High Channel Density – Sixteen isolated inputs reduce cabinet space requirements.

• Fast Response – <5 ms input recognition supports real-time control and safety interlocks.

• Robust Isolation – 1500 V RMS channel-to-bus isolation protects against electrical noise and ground loops.

• Redundant Communication – Dual DeltaV™ I/O bus ensures continuous data flow even if one path fails.

• Wide Environmental Range – Operates reliably from –20 °C to +60 °C for harsh industrial conditions.

• Low Power Consumption – Requires only 6 W, minimizing heat generation and energy use.

• Hot-Swappable Design – Allows replacement or maintenance without system shutdown, improving uptime.
