Emerson VE4002S1T2B5
Product Introduction
Precise final element positioning is critical for maintaining tight process control loops. The Emerson is an 8-channel analog output card built for the DeltaV Series 1 platform. It generates accurate 4-20mA signals with integrated HART communication, allowing operators to drive control valves while simultaneously accessing smart positioner diagnostics.
This module remains a vital component in legacy DeltaV installations where upgrading to Series 2 is not currently feasible. Field experience shows that maintaining the exact Series 1 specification prevents backplane handshake failures and ensures the controller can reliably write output values to the field.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Exact Series 1 Compatibility: Designed specifically for DeltaV Series 1 carriers; not recommended for Series 2 or Series 2 Plus racks due to mechanical and backplane differences.
- Integrated HART Communication: Supports full HART protocol on all 8 channels, enabling remote valve calibration and positioner diagnostics without additional field hardware.
- High-Precision 4-20mA Output: Factory-calibrated circuitry ensures accurate signal generation across the full analog range to maintain tight loop control.
- Rigorous Live Bench Testing: Every unit undergoes a 24-hour continuous load test and full-scale I/O simulation before shipping.
- New Surplus Availability: Factory-sealed condition with verified source traceability, bypassing typical OEM lead times for discontinued hardware.
- Anti-Counterfeit Verification: Serial numbers are checked against manufacturer databases during incoming inspection to guarantee authenticity.

FAQ
No. The “S1” designation confirms this is Series 1 hardware. Series 2 carriers have different backplane pinouts and mechanical keying. Forcing this module into a Series 2 rack will damage the backplane connectors and void any warranty.
I have a VE4005S2B3 on hand. Can I use it as a direct replacement?
The S1 and S2 variants denote different hardware generations. While they may share the same 4-20mA HART functionality, the backplane interface and firmware recognition are not interchangeable. Always verify with your DeltaV hardware manual or run a controller hardware scan before swapping generations.
Do I need to configure HART in DeltaV Explorer before installing?
Yes. The controller must be configured to recognize the module type and enable HART communication on the specific channels where smart positioners are connected. I always recommend backing up your database and running a hardware scan after insertion to ensure the controller reads the module ID and HART device descriptors properly.
What happens if I connect a non-HART 4-20mA valve positioner?
The module will still generate the 4-20mA signal accurately. HART communication is optional and superimposed on the analog signal. However, you won’t receive positioner diagnostics or remote calibration capabilities from non-HART devices.
Is there a warranty on this new surplus unit?
Yes. All new surplus modules come with a standard 12-month functional warranty. If the unit fails during normal operation within that period, we provide a direct replacement. We also include our internal test report with every shipment so you can verify the 24-hour load test results before installation.
