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.
