Description
Product Description
The Emerson 396604-01-3 is a precision-engineered Local Bus Extender designed for DeltaV M-Series I/O systems. This right-hand (RH) variant provides a robust electrical bridge between adjacent I/O carriers, maintaining uninterrupted communication and power distribution across the backplane.
Engineered for high-reliability industrial applications, the 396604-01-3 ensures signal continuity, EMI/RFI resistance, and mechanical stability in extended bus configurations, making it ideal for large-scale control networks with multiple DIN rail rows or remote enclosures.

Key Performance Features
Seamless Bus Expansion
Extends DeltaV M-Series local bus without compromising signal integrity or controller addressing, supporting high-density I/O deployments.
Industrial Reliability
Gold-plated connectors, reinforced strain relief, and shielded cabling ensure long-term operation in vibration-prone and corrosive environments.
Redundancy Ready
Fully compatible with DeltaV redundancy protocols, allowing uninterrupted failover for primary and secondary bus communications.
Applications
Ideal for extending M-Series I/O systems across multiple DIN rails, separate enclosures, or plant floors, ensuring continuous backplane connectivity and reliable communication for process control environments.
Technical FAQ
When is the 396604-01-3 necessary?
Use this module whenever you need to physically bridge two I/O carriers due to space constraints or system expansion.
Does this require software configuration?
No. It is a passive electrical component. Only the connected I/O modules need addressing in DeltaV Explorer.
How does it compare to a standard bus connector?
Unlike standard connectors, the 396604-01-3 supports extended runs while maintaining signal integrity and bus redundancy.
