Emerson KJ4001X1-HC1 LocalBus Left Extender

EMERSON KJ4001X1-HC1 is a LocalBus Left Extender according to Emerson's resources and industrial automation suppliers.

Function:
Extends the LocalBus network in DeltaV automation systems by Emerson [Emerson LocalBus Right/Left Extender]. A LocalBus is a communication cable that allows various I/O modules (input/output) to connect and exchange data with a controller

Features:
Left Extender: Extends the LocalBus network towards the left side of the controller.
8 Amp Current Rating: Can handle a maximum current of 8 Amps on the LocalBus.
12.6 VDC Power Supply: Operates on a 12.6 Volt DC power supply.
Limited Distance Extension: Extenders like the KJ4001X1-HC1 have a maximum allowable distance to prevent signal degradation on the LocalBus [assumption based on how LocalBus networks function]. The exact maximum distance for the KJ4001X1-HC1 is not specified publicly but the Emerson document linked below suggests a total network length not exceeding 6.5 meters (21.3 ft) when combining I/O carriers and extenders.

Applications:
Used in industrial automation systems based on Emerson's DeltaV platform to expand the reach of the LocalBus network and connect additional I/O modules to the controller. This allows for more distributed control and signal processing across a wider physical area within the automation system.
