DeltaV VE4003S5B1 | Emerson 8-Channel Thermocouple Input

Emerson VE4003S5B1 Product Description

Overview

The Emerson VE4003S5B1 is a high-performance analog input module designed for DeltaV S-series distributed control systems. It supports either 32 isolated 4–20 mA analog channels or 8 thermocouple inputs with cold junction compensation. Moreover, it converts analog signals into precise digital values for DeltaV controllers while maintaining channel-to-channel isolation. Its rugged design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments, and Radwell’s 2-year warranty provides additional confidence for critical process monitoring applications. The module is certified for hazardous areas, supporting continuous operation in oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and steel industries.

Functional Highlights

The VE4003S5B1 enables accurate signal acquisition from transmitters, sensors, and thermocouples. In addition, it supports HART pass-through communication, allowing diagnostic and configuration data to be accessed from smart field devices. Each input channel is galvanically isolated, reducing interference and ensuring signal integrity. Therefore, operators can rely on stable data acquisition even in noisy industrial environments. Its compact, DIN-rail compatible design simplifies installation and integration with DeltaV systems. Moreover, its cold junction compensation ensures thermocouple measurements remain precise across varying ambient temperatures.
