Description
Product Introduction
The Emerson KJ2101X1-CK1 is an S-Series DeltaV PROVOX I/O Carrier designed to provide the physical and electrical platform for integrating legacy PROVOX I/O into an Emerson DeltaV control system. Emerson’s official documentation identifies KJ2101X1-CK1 specifically as the S-Series PROVOX I/O Carrier.
The carrier accommodates DeltaV controllers, PROVOX I/O interface modules, and system power supplies. It is intended for PROVOX-to-DeltaV migration projects where existing PROVOX field I/O can be retained rather than completely rewired. Emerson describes the solution as supporting upgrades from PROVOX IFC, UOC, 20 Series, SR90 and SRx controllers while maximizing existing PROVOX I/O investment.
The carrier can support simplex or redundant configurations. In a redundant arrangement, the carrier accommodates two controllers, two PROVOX I/O interface modules and two system power supplies.

🔹 Main Features
🏭 PROVOX-to-DeltaV Migration
The carrier is specifically intended to help migrate legacy PROVOX control systems to DeltaV while retaining compatible PROVOX I/O hardware.
🧩 Modular S-Series Architecture
The carrier provides mounting and interconnection for DeltaV controllers, PROVOX I/O interface modules and system power supplies.
🔄 Redundant Configuration
A redundant system can use two controllers, two PROVOX I/O interfaces and two power supplies on the same carrier.
📡 PROVOX Control I/O Interface
The associated PROVOX I/O interface provides the communication path between the DeltaV controller and existing PROVOX I/O.
🛠️ Reduced Rewiring
One major advantage of the migration architecture is the ability to retain existing PROVOX I/O and field wiring rather than replacing the entire I/O infrastructure.
🔌 System Expansion
The S-Series architecture also provides VerticalPLUS LocalBus connections that can be used with additional DeltaV I/O infrastructure.
🔹 Operating Procedure — How to Use
The KJ2101X1-CK1 is a carrier, so it does not execute control logic by itself. It must be populated with the appropriate DeltaV controller, PROVOX I/O interface and power-supply components.
- 🔍 Verify the carrier part number: KJ2101X1-CK1.
- 🧩 Confirm that the system is using the S-Series PROVOX I/O migration architecture.
- 🔧 Mount the carrier securely on the 19-inch EIA rack.
- ⚡ Install the appropriate DeltaV system power supply.
- 🖥️ Install the compatible DeltaV controller.
- 📡 Install the PROVOX I/O interface module.
- 🔌 Connect the PROVOX Control I/O and associated communication cables.
- 🔗 Connect the LocalBus/VerticalPLUS connections if system expansion is required.
- ⚡ Connect the required power wiring.
- 🖥️ Configure the DeltaV controller and PROVOX I/O through the DeltaV engineering environment.
- 🔍 Verify I/O diagnostics and communication status.
- 🧪 Perform I/O loop testing before placing the process into normal operation.
Emerson’s installation documentation describes the PROVOX I/O interface modules as installing into the carrier and using the LocalBus for both power and communications.
🔹 Power-Up Sequence
⚠️ Follow the site’s approved DeltaV startup procedure for an operating process.
- 🔒 Place the process in a safe maintenance/startup condition.
- 🔍 Verify all carrier modules are correctly installed.
- 🔌 Check power connections.
- 📡 Verify PROVOX Control I/O communication connections.
- 🔗 Verify LocalBus connections where applicable.
- ⚡ Energize the system power supplies.
- 🖥️ Power the DeltaV controller(s).
- 📡 Power/initialize the PROVOX I/O interface module(s).
- 💡 Check Power, Error, Active and Standby indicators.
- 🔍 Confirm primary and secondary communication status.
- 🖥️ Verify the PROVOX I/O configuration in DeltaV.
- 🧪 Test representative I/O points.
- ✅ Return the control system to normal operation after all diagnostics are satisfactory.
The documented interface module indicators include Power, Error, Active, Standby, Primary CIO and Secondary CIO status indications.
🔹 Shutdown Sequence
- 🛑 Place the controlled process into its approved shutdown state.
- 🖥️ Place DeltaV controllers in the appropriate maintenance/offline condition.
- 📊 Record active diagnostics and I/O status.
- 🔒 Isolate the appropriate power sources.
- ⚡ Turn off the system power supply according to the plant procedure.
- 📡 Isolate PROVOX Control I/O communication if required.
- 🔌 Disconnect external power and communication wiring only after isolation.
- 🧤 Use ESD precautions when removing controller or interface modules.
- 🔧 Remove the carrier-mounted components as required.
🔹 Product Usage
The KJ2101X1-CK1 is mainly used in legacy PROVOX migration projects.
Typical applications include:
🏭 Oil & gas processing
🛢️ Refining

🔹 Compatibility Notes
🔸 Important: KJ2101X1-CK1 is an S-Series carrier.
It should not be confused with the later M-Series PROVOX carrier KJ2101X1-CA1, which Emerson identifies as VE4056.
The associated S-Series PROVOX I/O interface is:
KJ2101X1-BK1
Emerson lists KJ2101X1-CK1 as the carrier and KJ2101X1-BK1 as the corresponding S-Series PROVOX I/O Interface Module.
