The Emerson KJ2101X1-CK1 (also referenced as DeltaV part number 12P3283X012) is a specialized PROVOX I/O Interface Carrier manufactured by Emerson Process Management.
Engineered specifically for plant modernization projects, this carrier enables direct integration of legacy PROVOX I/O cards into modern DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS) architectures without requiring the rewiring of existing field terminal blocks.

Core Features & Operating Capabilities
- Modernization Without Rewiring: Allows existing PROVOX field wiring, field termination assemblies (FTAs), and cabinet field cables to plug directly into DeltaV I/O nodes, eliminating time-consuming and error-prone field commissioning rewiring.
- Redundant DeltaV LocalBus Connection: Plugs directly into the standard DeltaV I/O carrier bus (LocalBus), enabling seamless high-speed communication back to DeltaV M-Series or S-Series Controllers (such as MQ, PK, or SX controllers).
- Reduced Cutover Downtime: Significantly shortens scheduled plant shutdown windows during control system upgrades by facilitating a simple “rip-and-replace” card insertion setup.
- Onboard Diagnostic Isolation: Provides electrical signal isolation and power conditioning between the DeltaV system backplane and legacy PROVOX field circuits.
- Rugged Industrial Build: Built to withstand harsh chemical and refinery cabinet environments with an extended temperature operating envelope (-40°C to +70°C).
