KJ2201X1-JA1
Technical Principles and Innovative Values
- Redundant Design: The KJ2201X1 – JA1 features a redundant architecture that ensures continuous operation even in the event of a component failure. This significantly reduces the risk of system downtime. In comparison to non – redundant terminal blocks, it can increase system availability by up to 90% in critical applications.
- High – Density Connection: It allows for a large number of connections in a compact form factor. This reduces the space required in control panels, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium. For example, in a typical control panel, it can accommodate 30% more connections than traditional terminal blocks of the same size.
- Robust Signal Integrity: The terminal block is engineered to maintain signal integrity even in noisy industrial environments. Its shielding and grounding mechanisms minimize electrical interference, ensuring accurate data transmission between field devices and the control system.
Application Cases and Industry Value
- Power Generation: A major power plant integrated the Emerson KJ2201X1 – JA1 into its boiler control system. The redundant design of the terminal block ensured that any potential signal failures were automatically compensated for, preventing boiler trips. As a result, the plant experienced a 20% reduction in maintenance calls related to signal – related issues and a 5% increase in overall power generation efficiency.
- Water Treatment: In a municipal water treatment facility, the KJ2201X1 – JA1 was used to connect a variety of sensors and actuators in the treatment process. Operators reported a 30% reduction in the time taken to troubleshoot wiring issues due to the terminal block’s organized and easy – to – access connection points. This led to improved process control and a reduction in water treatment chemical usage by 15%.
