Emerson KC4011X1-BD1 | Reliable Redundant Analog Output Terminal Block

Product Description

The Emerson KC4011X1-BD1 is a Redundant Analog Output (AO) Terminal Block designed for use with Emerson’s DeltaV™ distributed control system. This module supports 16 analog output channels, delivering reliable current signals (typically 4–20 mA) to field devices like control valves, actuators, and other process control equipment. With its redundant operation, the KC4011X1-BD1 ensures continuous signal delivery even in the event of a failure in a single signal path, making it ideal for mission-critical applications where downtime must be minimized.

Built for demanding industrial environments, the KC4011X1-BD1 is engineered to withstand shock, vibration, and temperature extremes. It is typically mounted on a DeltaV carrier and works with compatible I/O cards to form a robust analog output subsystem. Its high durability and redundancy features make it a key component in industries such as chemical processing, power generation, and automated manufacturing.
