Emerson VE4013S2B1 Standard I/O Termination Block – Clean, reliable field wiring for DeltaV I/O

The Emerson VE4013S2B1 is a Standard I/O Termination Block designed for DeltaV I/O carriers. From my experience, this is the go-to terminal block when you need straightforward, robust field wiring without extra fuses or relays getting in the way. It routes all channel signals from the I/O card to clearly labeled screw terminals, making commissioning and troubleshooting a lot simpler in many cases.

• Clear channel labeling – Speeds up loop checks and reduces wiring mistakes in tight cabinets.
• Screw-clamp terminals – Secure terminations that hold up well to vibration and routine maintenance.
• Field-proven robustness – Built for industrial cabinets where temperature and electrical noise are a fact of life.
• Service-friendly design – Quick remove/replace on the carrier without disturbing the rest of the installation.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

You’ll typically see the VE4013S2B1 used in process automation cabinets where DeltaV I/O is standard: oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, water/wastewater, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals. One thing I appreciate is how it suits mixed I/O—teams can deploy the same termination style for analog loops and discrete signals, which simplifies spares and documentation.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Passive design means fewer failure points and predictable lifecycle in harsh environments.
• Compatibility – Works across DeltaV I/O families where a standard termination is specified, helping reduce variant management.
• Cost-effective spares – Standard blocks keep MRO stock simpler; no specialty components unless isolation/fusing is required.
• Faster commissioning – Clear labeling and stable screw terminals shorten FAT/SAT and routine loop checks.
• Support-friendly – If you need fused or relay terminals later, it’s straightforward to match the carrier with the appropriate accessory block.

A maintenance engineer told us they swapped in VE4013S2B1 blocks during a weekend shutdown and “shaved hours off the loop checkout because the terminal layout was exactly what the team expected.” That seems to be a common theme with standard terminations.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet standards – Mount on the DeltaV I/O carrier within a ventilated, clean control cabinet (DIN-rail carrier). Keep ambient within system spec.
• Wiring – Use appropriately rated copper conductors; typical range 0.5–2.5 mm² (20–14 AWG). Tighten screws to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to avoid loose connections.
• Shielding/grounding – Terminate cable shields per your site standard and DeltaV guidelines to minimize noise on analog channels.
• Safety – De-energize circuits before landing or moving wires. Verify card/channel assignments before powering the system.
• Routine checks – Periodically re-torque terminal screws, clean dust from the cabinet, and verify labeling. No firmware or calibration is required (passive block).

Quality & Certifications

• Typically compliant with CE and RoHS requirements for industrial control components
• UL recognition is common for terminal assemblies in this category
• Manufacturer’s standard warranty applies (365 days via our supply terms)

Related/Supporting Components

• DeltaV I/O carriers (DIN-rail) for M-series/S-series I/O cards
• DeltaV analog and discrete I/O cards (AI, AO, DI, DO) as required by the project
• Optional fused, relay, or fault-isolation terminal blocks when protection or special switching is needed
• Pre-printed channel labels and ferrules for faster cabinet assembly

If you’re standardizing cabinet builds or refreshing legacy panels, the VE4013S2B1 is a safe, predictable choice. You might notice that projects run smoother when every panel builder and technician sees the same terminal layout across skids and units.
