Emerson KL4104X1-BA1 Dual Universal Carrier

The KL4104X1-BA1 dual universal carrier provides two mounting positions for Emerson DeltaV CHARM modules. This carrier routes signals between installed CHARMs and the system electronics through a shared bus. Moreover, it measures roughly 200 mm wide, 100 mm high, and 50 mm deep. It weighs about 0.4 kg, so technicians can mount it quickly inside standard DeltaV cabinets.

Carrier Design and Signal Routing

The KL4104X1-BA1 accepts two universal CHARM modules, which gives engineers flexible channel configuration options. In addition, the carrier bus connector passes signals to the system without discrete wiring between slots. The PCB carries multiple connectors that support hot-swap module replacement. An integrated buffer capacitor stores energy briefly during power transitions. Consequently, channel communication stays stable when supply voltage shifts within tolerance.

Installation and Operating Conditions

Technicians mount this carrier vertically inside the cabinet, and that orientation supports efficient heat dissipation. The KL4104X1-BA1 needs adequate clearance on all sides for reliable airflow. Furthermore, it operates across a temperature range of 0 °C to 60 °C. Therefore, it suits standard process control enclosures without additional cooling equipment.
