KJ3241X1-BK1 12P4710X032 SE4006P2

The KJ3241X1-BK1 supports HART-IP for interfacing with devices and control systems. Thousands of facilities use AMS Device Manager to simplify the installation of field devices during capital projects, increase the uptime of safety systems, and safely test equipment from the control room. By eliminating multiplexers, organizations can use AMS Device Manager to configure, calibrate, verify and document more HART-enabled field devices and systems. The module’s current interface has been tested with Schneider Electric Triconex Tricon CX safety systems, HIMA HIMax safety systems, and Phoenix Contact multiplexers. Emerson will continue to test and add new systems to the list of officially supported systems for this interface.

KJ3241X1-BK1 Connecting field devices to an asset management system typically requires the use of multiplexers, which can significantly increase hardware costs and engineering time during the project phase. According to FieldComm Group, more than 40 million field devices utilize HART, a protocol designed to allow smart devices to communicate with host systems. HART-IP, which is now native to AMS Device Manager, allows asset management systems to bypass complex and costly multiplexers and use existing factory Ethernet network infrastructure to access measurements and systems directly from HART-enabled field devices. HART-enabled field devices to access measurement and diagnostic information directly from HART-enabled field devices.
