Core positioning and core advantages

The DeltaV M series traditional I/O is a modular process control system I/O subsystem that focuses on “on-site installation, low-cost deployment, and high availability”. It is suitable for industrial scenarios that require flexible expansion and reliable operation. The core advantages can be summarized as four key features:

Reduce capital equipment costs: The entire system is designed to be modular and supports live installation (refer to specific area installation guidelines). I/O interface carriers and interfaces can be flexibly added or removed according to 4/8/16/32 channel groups to avoid overinvestment; The compact design of I/O components allows for installation in on-site junction boxes, reducing the footprint of control room equipment; On site installation reduces long-distance wiring of multi-core cables, integrated design eliminates grouping panels, built-in series fuses and bus power supply reduce external accessory costs.

Shortening installation time and cost: With its plug and play feature, I/O components can be directly inserted into the carrier, supporting the installation of the carrier to reserve expansion space before installing the I/O interface; Staged installation is efficient, and once the carrier is in place, on-site equipment wiring can begin without waiting for I/O card installation; The I/O interface and terminal block are equipped with function keys to ensure the correct matching of the card and terminal block, avoid accidental installation, and simplify the installation and replacement process.

Enhance productivity: Support real-time addition of devices online, without interrupting the process when adding I/O interfaces. DeltaV resource manager automatically recognizes and allocates basic configurations to ensure production continuity.

Improve process availability: Both traditional I/O and HART I/O cards support 1:1 redundancy. Redundant and non redundant use the same series of second-generation I/O cards, which can reuse existing I/O and spare parts investments. Redundant channels do not require additional configuration, and the wiring of redundant terminal blocks is consistent with that of single terminal blocks, without the need for additional wiring; The system automatically recognizes redundant I/O, and redundant card pairs are displayed as single cards in the system tool, simplifying configuration; When the main I/O card fails, it automatically switches to the backup card without manual intervention, and the operator interface will clearly indicate the switching status.

Switching performance: Redundant I/O card switching is completed within 2 scanning cycles of the I/O bus; The ‘first on, then off’ contact ensures continuous power supply for digital field devices, and the analog output signal is briefly driven by the dual card during switching (<5ms) without process disturbance.

Fault alarm and recording: Hardware alarms automatically report integrity errors between the primary and backup cards, switch events are recorded in the system event log, control module level timestamps record log events and alarms, and SOE cards can provide higher resolution (± 0.25ms/card) event recording.

Convenience of maintenance: In safe areas, faulty cards can be replaced with electricity, while in hazardous areas, specific installation procedures must be followed; The new backup card is automatically debugged and activated by the system.

Core positioning and core advantages

The electronic grouping for DeltaV migration is built on CHARM I/O cards (CIOC) and designed specifically for the migration of traditional control systems to DeltaV systems. With “high flexibility, low transformation cost, and full redundancy and reliability” as the core, it achieves in-situ replacement and efficient integration of I/O modules. The core advantages can be summarized as six key features:

Flexible deployment of I/O: CIOC supports 1:1 direct replacement within the same space as traditional I/O, without the need for new cabinets, customized cables, or additional grouping; I/O can be installed in any adaptive position of the existing cabinet as needed, adapting to the layout requirements of different migration scenarios.

Single channel refined configuration: The CHARM I/O architecture supports independent adaptation of field device requirements for each channel. Any instrument signal can be connected to any terminal block, and electronic grouping can be completed by installing the corresponding CHARM module and assigning it to up to 4 controllers; No need to split traditional panel signals into multiple DeltaV I/O cards, solving the problem of adapting traditional I/O terminals.

In situ replacement of traditional I/O: The migration panel can be installed above, below, or even in front of the traditional terminal panel, and the migration can be completed by simply moving the wires a few inches; As a standard CHARM motherboard, the migration panel communicates with CIOC through cable interfaces and is suitable for vertical or horizontal installation (supported in some scenarios), without the need to stretch I/O cables, ensuring smooth system switching.

Fully redundant communication architecture: Full link redundancy from the CHARM channel to the DeltaV controller, including dual I/O cards on the carrier, redundant communication modules (primary/backup network connections), dual 24V DC input power supplies, and redundant power and communication buses provided by the carrier to the CHARM backplane, ensuring high system reliability.

Complete DeltaV solution: After migration, the system is built entirely on DeltaV standard hardware, without mixed custom software and hardware. It can be supported by existing DeltaV operation and maintenance personnel using unified spare parts, reducing maintenance complexity and costs in the later stage.

Plug and play I/O: At the hardware level, components are quickly assembled through DIN rail locks and interlocking carrier connectors; At the software level, after inserting CHARM, the system automatically recognizes the node and generates I/O definitions in the configuration database. The CHARM self key control system avoids accidental insertion; Support drag and drop operations to assign any number of channels to the controller, simplifying the configuration process.

Core components and functional details of the product

（1） Core hardware components

CHARM I/O carrier DIN rail installation, supports redundant CHARM I/O card pairs, provides redundant communication modules and dual 24V DC power interfaces, connects to CHARM motherboard and transmits redundant power/communication bus

CHARM I/O cards (CIOC/CIOC2) achieve communication between CHARM and Ethernet I/O networks (connecting M/S/PK series controllers). CIOC has obtained Achilles communication certification level 1; CIOC2 has stronger computing power and has obtained certification level 2, which can directly replace CIOC

CHARM base plate DIN rail installation, including interleaved power and bus connectors supporting 12 CHARMs and terminal blocks, providing on-site injection power interface, compatible with migration panel installation

CHARM terminal block can be disassembled, connected to on-site wiring and fixed. CHARM supports 2/3/4 wire system equipment wiring, and some models include fused injection power function

The CHARM module (Characterization Module) provides basic analog-to-digital conversion, redundant bus connection, and fault isolation for each field signal. It has circuit protection functions (current limiting/melting) and surge protection (in accordance with EMC industry standards), and faults are limited to a single module

Other auxiliary components include cable extenders (flexible adjustment of carrier installation position), backplane terminators (redundant I/O bus terminals), and 19 inch migration panels (compatible with traditional 19 inch cabinets, supporting 2 CIOC or 2 backplane installations) to ensure hardware installation flexibility and bus signal stability

（2） Key functional characteristics

Power supply: On site power is supplied to each CHARM (maximum 100mA per module) through a redundant 24V DC bus; The high current discrete channel can be powered by injecting the bus through the locally integrated power supply on the motherboard.

Maintenance convenience: CHARM can partially pop up to the locked position, disconnect the on-site wiring from the system, and facilitate on-site maintenance or cutting off equipment power; Activate the lock buckle to eject to the positioning position, and close the lock buckle to isolate the on-site wiring.

System scalability: CIOC can connect up to 4 controllers via Ethernet, and adding controllers or reallocating I/O does not require any physical wiring changes; Support online addition of CHARM (any empty space on the motherboard) and CIOC to adapt to changes in I/O requirements during the migration process.

Installation flexibility: CIOC needs to be installed on vertical DIN rails (which can be located on the front and rear sides, upper and lower parts of the cabinet), and cannot be installed horizontally; The height of the CHARM base plate migration component is 3 EIA units (5.25 inches), and the installation location can be flexibly selected (reusing existing cable trays/cable trays, adjacent installation, or reserved spacing).

Core positioning and core advantages

The DeltaV controller redundancy function is applicable to M-series, S-series (including SZ type), and PK type controllers, aiming to avoid critical process interruptions and high downtime losses caused by controller hardware failures through the “primary backup controller” mode. The core advantages can be summarized as four key features:

Uninterrupted control operation: When the main controller fails, the backup controller automatically takes over without initialization or manual intervention. The on-site output signal is undisturbed and the process continues to run; No special wiring or additional configuration is required, redundancy can be achieved by simply adding controllers to the existing hardware foundation.

Online upgrade capability: Supports online upgrade of controller firmware and hardware. New firmware can be installed on the backup controller first (without affecting the current operation), and the backup controller will automatically configure and support switching after the upgrade is completed. After switching, the original main controller will be upgraded; At the hardware level, it supports online upgrades from MQ to MX and SQ to SX, meeting the requirements for expanding control strategies.

Automatic debugging and deployment: The system automatically detects, debugs, and downloads backup controller programs, making on-site equipment replacement safe and convenient; When adding redundancy, only a 2-slot backplane with system power supply needs to be installed for the M/Q/MX/SQ/SX controller. The SZ controller can directly use its 2 slots on the carrier, and the PK controller does not require an additional carrier (comes with 2 slots); No need to set up dip switches, jumpers or addresses, the backup controller automatically assigns addresses, the engineering database is automatically updated, and activation only requires assigning and downloading redundant licenses, without affecting the operation process.

Uninterrupted switching transition: When switching between primary and backup, the output channel remains in its current state until the switching is completed and the control module is started; The control module confirms that all I/O channels are normal through signal status before executing control actions, and uses the I/O read back function to synchronize output signals, ensuring that control calculations are based on real-time output status; This feature is suitable for scenarios where CHARM or DeltaV classic I/O cards are used, regardless of whether Foundation fieldbus devices are connected or not.

Product Core Function Details

（1） Working mechanism

The backup controller stores the same control strategy as the main controller, and redundant links transmit control parameters in real-time to ensure that the backup controller can take over at any time.

After enabling redundancy, each control module will calculate the required update data for the backup controller during execution and transmit it through the redundant link; Redundant functions typically reduce CPU idle time by about 10%.

After the fault triggers a switch, the DeltaV event recorder will store the switch record and the identified cause of the fault; Replacing the backup controller only requires disassembling and assembling the hardware, and the main controller will automatically detect the new backup device and complete debugging and program download.

（2） Switch detection logic

The main and backup controllers continuously self check and monitor each other, and the main controller runs a real-time self check program to determine the functional status.

Scenarios that trigger switching: hardware failure of the main controller, communication failure between the main controller and I/O, communication failure between the dual control network ports of the main controller, removal of the main controller from the carrier, and user switching requests initiated through a diagnostic browser.

If the main controller fails and does not initiate a switch, the backup controller will identify the abnormality by monitoring the I/O bus flow. Before switching, a verification cycle must be passed, during which all output signals remain unchanged until the new main controller starts the control strategy.

（3） System compatibility

Version requirements: The M/S/SZ series supports DeltaV v12.3 and above, while the PK series supports v14.3 and above; In the segmented models, SQ/SX requires v11.3.1+, SZ requires v12.3+, MX requires v10.3+, MQ requires v11.3.1+, and PK requires v14.3+.

Hardware pairing rule: Redundant controller pairs must be from the same series (e.g. M series and S series cannot be paired); Although SX can serve as a backup for SQ and MX can serve as a backup for MQ, it is recommended that the primary and backup hardware be consistent (low configuration primary controllers may not be able to support programs for high configuration controllers), and only temporary mixing during the upgrade period is recommended.

Supporting redundant controller models: MQ, MX, SQ, SX, PK (details can be found in the product manuals of each model), SZ (details can be found in the “DeltaV SIS Electronic Grouping” or “DeltaV SIS IS Electronic Grouping” manuals).

Basic Overview

DeltaV Bulk Power Supplies is an efficient and reliable power solution developed by Emerson for the DeltaV distributed control system. It covers 5A, 10A, 20A, 40A series AC-DC power supplies and 20A, 40A, 80A series redundant modules. It also offers special models with conformal coating (anti-corrosion coating) and IP67 protection level, which can meet the power supply needs of system electronic equipment and field equipment. It is the core power supply component of the DeltaV system, with advantages such as ease of use, high availability, flexibility, and small size.

Core advantages

（1） Strong usability and easy installation

Standardized installation: All conventional models support horizontal installation on T-shaped DIN rails, with label text facing up to complete basic fixation without the need for complex tools; The IP67 protection level model (VE5139/VE5140) adopts chassis installation (through integrated installation of ear tabs), suitable for outdoor or humid environments.

Unified power supply output: Mainstream models provide 24V DC standard output (some models support 12V DC), with a voltage regulation range of 23.5-28.5V DC (11.5-15.5V DC for 12V models), which can directly match the power supply needs of DeltaV systems and field devices without additional voltage conversion.

Clear status feedback: Equipped with a built-in DC-OK alarm relay (normally open contact, 200mA/50V DC), it triggers a signal when the output voltage is greater than 18.5V DC (± 5%), facilitating real-time monitoring of power operation status and timely detection of faults.

（2） High availability, stable and reliable

Efficient redundancy design: The redundant module is based on active MOSFET technology, which has a lower voltage drop (typical value of 0.2V) and higher efficiency compared to traditional diode modules, reducing heat loss and improving system reliability; Support 1:1 redundant configuration, automatic switching between primary and backup power sources to avoid power outages caused by single point failures.

Wide environmental adaptability: Conventional models operate at temperatures ranging from -40 ° C to 70 ° C (with power linearly reduced to 75% at 60 ° C to 70 ° C), storage temperatures ranging from -40 ° C to 85%, relative humidity ranging from 5% to 95% (without condensation), shock resistance (10g RMS, three-axis, 11ms per axis), and vibration resistance (2.5g RMS, 10-2000Hz random vibration); The IP67 model (VE5139/VE5140) has upgraded its protection level to IP66/67, supporting operation at -40 ° C~70 ° C (with power down to 50% at 60 ° C~70 ° C), and can withstand 100% condensation humidity, making it suitable for outdoor, humid, or dusty environments.

Multiple protection mechanisms: All models have built-in non replaceable fuses (only for internal faults, short circuits/overloads will not cause fuse failure), with overcurrent and overvoltage protection; Some models (such as IP67 series) comply with NEC Class 2 standard (UL1310), and the electronic current limiting design further ensures safety.

（3） High flexibility and controllable cost

Multi specification selection: current coverage of 3.8A~40A (single channel), 7.6A (dual channel), VE5140）， The power coverage ranges from 100W to 960W, and can be flexibly selected according to the system load; Redundant module current matching power specifications (20A/40A/80A), supporting load sharing to meet the redundancy requirements of systems of different scales.

Special requirement adaptation: Provide models with conformal coatings (such as VE5122/VE5124, etc.) that comply with ISA-S71.04-1985 G3 level air pollutant standards and are suitable for corrosive environments; The IP67 model (VE5139/VE5140) features a waterproof and dustproof design, suitable for outdoor or harsh on-site environments, without the need for additional protective enclosures.

Low power consumption and energy saving: Conventional models have AC efficiency>88% (5A model)~93% (40A model), active power factor correction (typical value 0.92~0.98), reducing grid losses; The idle power consumption of redundant modules is as low as 0.5mW, further reducing system energy consumption.

（4） Small volume design, saving space

The standard model has a uniform height of 123mm (4.85in), a width of only 50mm (5A)~180mm (40A), and a depth of 110mm~127mm. It requires small installation gaps (25mm~40mm up and down, 10mm~15mm left and right, 15mm in front) and can be densely installed in cabinets, greatly saving space; The IP67 model has a compact size (such as VE5139:120.1mm × 177.8mm × 45.7mm) and does not require additional space for outdoor installation.

Basic Overview

The DeltaV SD Plus controller is a member of the S series controllers launched by Emerson Process Management. Its core function is to achieve communication and control between field devices and other nodes in the control network, while integrating the DeltaV I/O subsystem to simplify and speed up installation. It is compatible with the control strategies and configurations created by early DeltaV systems. On the basis of inheriting all the functions of M-series controllers, it adds support for CHARM based digital Marshalling, and the control language execution method can refer to the “Control Software” product data sheet. It is positioned as a small and medium-sized application scenario, complementary to the SX controller, and matches the control requirements of different processes through scalable design, while possessing high reliability and ease of use.

Core advantages

（1） Strong scalability and adaptability to flexible needs

Complementary hierarchical controllers: As a small and medium-sized controller of the S series, it is paired with the SX controller to form a “hierarchical selection” – SD Plus is suitable for small and medium-sized applications with a smaller platform size and lower cost; If there is a need for expansion in the later stages of the project (such as scope changes), the redundant SD Plus controller can be upgraded to an SX controller online, and the original configuration, documentation, and hardware design can be fully retained without the need for redevelopment.

Redundant architecture support: Supports 1:1 redundant configuration, improves system availability by adding backup controllers and power supplies, ensures stable and reliable redundant switching, and meets the high requirements for continuity in industrial scenarios.

I/O expansion capability: The local bus can connect up to 8 I/O carriers (8 cards per carrier), totaling 64 traditional I/O cards; Simultaneously supporting an additional 16 remote I/O units (traditional card type I/O); It is also compatible with fieldbus technologies such as Foundation fieldbus, Profibus DP, DeviceNet, AS-i, as well as serial interface cards and Ethernet I/O interfaces, to meet diverse device access needs.

（2） Quick assembly and ease of use

Tool free quick installation: The S series hardware adopts a brand new design, and the carrier can be snap mounted on a standard DIN rail. The controller and S series I/O can be inserted into place without fixing screws, greatly reducing cabinet assembly time and improving project execution efficiency.

Plug and play configuration: After connecting to the DeltaV network, the controller can be identified through the “Auto Sense” function of the DeltaV Explorer. The system will automatically add the controller and all its I/O interfaces to the database, and complete address allocation and communication configuration without setting DIP switches or jumpers, reducing the operational threshold.

Convenient programming and management: Developed control strategies using IEC-61131 standard programming techniques (functional blocks, sequential functional diagrams, structured text); The controller automatically generates diagnostic and event reports with timestamps for easy fault tracing; The control execution rate can be set according to the dynamic characteristics of the process (100ms~60s), and the controller will automatically adjust the scheduling; Support cross system referencing of any parameter by module name, without the need to pay attention to physical location; System clock synchronization ensures consistency of time driven events across the entire system.

（3） Mature and reliable architecture with digital grouping support

Stability verified on site: The S series controller is based on the DeltaV M series hardware evolution, using processors and operating systems verified on site, optimizing only installation convenience and robustness; All S-series I/O cards run the latest software enhanced version of M-series I/O cards, maintaining the same high reliability performance and reducing technical iteration risks.

Electronic Marshalling Design: Supports distributed I/O solutions based on CHARM – CHARM I/O cards (CIOCs) are connected through redundant Ethernet ports of the controller. A single controller can access up to 16 CIOCs, each providing 96 individually configurable signal types that can be flexibly installed in any position. Compared to traditional Marshalling I/O subsystems, it significantly reduces system footprint, simplifies system design and expansion.

Wireless and New I/O Support: Compatible with Wireless HART I/O cards, a single card can achieve redundant communication for up to 100 Wireless HART devices, ensuring high availability of wireless data; A single controller can support up to 16 Wireless HART I/O cards, meeting industrial wireless requirements.

（4） Adapt to harsh environments and comply with regulations

Wide environmental adaptability: Rated for G3 corrosive environments, operating temperature range -40 ° C~70 ° C, protection level up to IP20 (NEMA 12), can be directly installed in remote locations near process equipment, or can be paired with CHARM I/O cards for traditional central grouping cabinets, suitable for various installation scenarios.

Basic Overview

The DeltaV M Series Virtual I/O Module 2 (VIM2) is an industrial grade I/O simulation and integration device launched by Emerson Process Management. It has two core functions: one is to work with MYNAH Technologies’ MiMiMiC simulation software to achieve non-invasive simulation of DeltaV M Series I/O cards and digital bus field devices, supporting comprehensive testing of control strategies and system configurations; The second is to serve as an integrated platform for high-speed Ethernet I/O devices, driven by Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP protocols, to achieve signal reading and writing between the DeltaV system and devices (such as PLCs, motor control centers, weighing instruments, etc.) in the factory Ethernet I/O network. Its design is compatible with the DeltaV system architecture and can be seamlessly integrated into existing control networks.

Core advantages

（1） Non invasive DeltaV I/O simulation capability

Comprehensive simulation support: It can perform non-invasive simulation on all DeltaV M-series I/O modules (including traditional I/O, Foundation fieldbus, Profibus DP, DeviceNet, ASi bus, and serial cards) without modifying control strategies to complete DeltaV configuration testing; Simultaneously supporting simulation of all DeltaV digital buses and Foundation fieldbus function blocks, it can verify the effectiveness of fieldbus control configuration.

Efficient simulation performance: A single controller can simulate up to 64 DeltaV I/O modules, with fast and efficient simulation execution speed, which can make the DeltaV controller mistakenly believe that it is communicating with real I/O, ensuring that the test results are close to the actual operating scenario; It also supports I/O automatic detection and precise testing of controller load, providing data support for system optimization.

Supporting simulation software: It needs to be used in conjunction with MYNAH’s MiMiC simulation software (software needs to be purchased separately). This software can provide dynamic simulation function for DeltaV system software acceptance testing and operator training – through simulation I/O and on-site equipment, simulate the real reaction of the process to the control system output signal, and the simulation I/O driver updates are synchronized with the MiMiC software version and can be quickly upgraded through the simulation network.

（2） Powerful Ethernet I/O integration capability

High capacity device access: A single VIM2 can simulate 4 DeltaV serial cards, supporting 128 serial card datasets for 32 network devices in single-mode configuration and 16 devices in redundant configuration. Ethernet communication is efficient and stable, meeting the large-scale equipment integration requirements of factories.

Flexible network configuration: supports user-defined IP addresses and can adapt to almost all factory network architectures (requiring the same IP subnet as Ethernet I/O devices); Simultaneously supporting 1:1 redundant configuration – by adding a second VIM2 to form a redundant pair, simulating 4 pairs of redundant DeltaV serial cards, the main and backup cards automatically switch (consistent with the switching logic of DeltaV serial cards), and the operator can obtain switching notifications through the display interface or manually control the switching in DeltaV Diagnostics.

Multi protocol compatibility: Supports two mainstream industrial Ethernet protocols and adapts to different device types:

Modbus TCP/IP: As a master, it supports 9 types of function codes, including reading coil status (Code1) and writing multiple registers (Code16). It can function as both a master and slave (up to 32 slave stations or 16 master stations+16 slave stations are supported in single-mode mode; only the master station is supported in redundant mode, up to 16 slave stations are supported).

Ethernet/IP: As a scanner (initiator), it supports CIP protocol functions such as UCMM (connectionless) messages, Class 3 (connected) messages, and Class 1 (I/O) connections, and is compatible with the Ethernet/IP specifications defined by the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association.

（3） Usability and system compatibility

Seamless DeltaV Integration: The VIM2 is recognized by the DeltaV M series controller as four DeltaV serial cards. During debugging, serial dataset configuration can be completed through the DeltaV Explorer (consistent with conventional serial card configuration). Ethernet I/O signals can be directly used for the DeltaV control module, displayed on the DeltaV Operate graphical interface, or stored in the DeltaV historical database without the need for additional interface development.

Intuitive configuration tool: Comes with the VIMNet Explorer application (integrated with DeltaV v12 and above, or provided with MYNAH driver), supports “plug and play” configuration – completes VIM2 debugging, primary and backup redundancy settings, and Ethernet I/O network parameter configuration (such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, device node address, etc.) through graphical drag and drop operations. It also supports driver firmware upgrades and type replacements (only supports loading one Ethernet I/O driver at a time).

Modular and flexible installation: Adopting the same installation method as the DeltaV controller, it can be installed in the controller slot of a 2-wide horizontal carrier or a 4-wide vertical carrier (located on the left side of the DeltaV controller), using standard DeltaV power supply. The design is durable and can operate stably for a long time.

Details of Function Implementation

（1） Implementation of I/O simulation function

Hardware coordination: The VIM2 hardware preloads the I/O simulation driver and communicates with the MiMiC software through the simulation network. After disconnecting the real I/O card from the control system, the MiMiC driver directly writes simulation signals to the I/O subsystem of the DeltaV controller.

Simulation data management: A single simulated process controller corresponds to one MiMiC dataset, and a MiMiMiC server can support up to 32 datasets (ports). Each dataset can accommodate 4000 MiMiMiC simulation labels, meeting the requirements of large-scale process simulation.

Technical Support: Technical support for I/O simulation drivers and MiMiC software is provided by MYNAH Technologies and requires separate contact with the supplier for service.

（2） Implementation of Ethernet I/O Integration Function

Drivers and configurations: Ethernet I/O drivers (such as Modbus TCP/IP master drivers, Ethernet/IP scanner drivers, etc.) need to be purchased separately from MYNAH. After loading the drivers, the DeltaV controller can automatically detect the debugged VIM2 (serial cards identified as slots 57-60 or 61-64 in single-mode configuration, and redundant pairs identified as slots 57-64 in redundant configuration).

Redundancy mechanism: The redundant VIM2 needs to be installed on independent 2-wide carriers, equipped with independent power supplies, and monitored for the status of the main and backup devices through dedicated redundant link cables (included in the redundancy kit) – the main VIM2 continuously communicates with industrial Ethernet devices, while the backup VIM2 sends intermittent signals to maintain communication integrity and ensure uninterrupted switching between the main and backup devices.

Configuration tool requirements: VIMNet Explorer needs to run on a workstation connected to the Ethernet I/O network (which can be a DeltaV workstation with a third network card or a non DeltaV workstation), support Windows XP/7 system, and complete connection configuration through the RJ45 Ethernet interface at the bottom of VIM2.

​Basic Overview

The DeltaV M series MD Plus controller is an industrial control core equipment launched by Emerson Process Management, mainly responsible for communication and control tasks between field devices and other nodes in the control network. It is compatible with the control strategies and system configurations created by early DeltaV systems. On the basis of having all the functions of the M5 Plus controller, it has increased memory capacity to meet the needs of large-scale batch processing and other memory intensive applications. At the same time, it needs to be installed quickly in conjunction with the DeltaV I/O subsystem. The specific execution method of its control language can refer to the product data sheet in the Configuration Software Suite.

Core advantages

（1） Enhance productivity

High performance operation: The computing speed is over 400% faster than the M5 Plus controller, and the user configurable memory is more than three times that of the MD controller; The Ethernet port supports full duplex mode, with a maximum throughput of 100MB/s, which can effectively reduce CPU utilization and improve control strategy processing capability.

Convenient automatic function

Automatic addressing: After connecting to the DeltaV control network, a unique address can be automatically assigned upon power on, without the need for DIP switches or additional configurations, achieving plug and play functionality.

Automatic positioning: The LED lights on the controller panel can flash through operation to visually indicate its physical location, making it easy to locate.

Automatic I/O detection: It can identify all I/O interface channels on the I/O subsystem. After the I/O interface is inserted, it can immediately obtain the basic characteristics of the field devices managed by the interface, reducing useless configuration work.

（2） Strong usability

Comprehensive control capability: not only managing all control activities of I/O interface channels, but also responsible for all communication functions of the communication network, while managing timestamps, alarms, and trend objects. The control strategy execution speed can reach up to once every 100 milliseconds.

Data protection mechanism: When installing data into the controller, relevant installation information will be automatically saved; When users modify the controller configuration online, the system will also store these changes and fully record all data and online modification traces in the controller.

Cold start function: Restarting after power failure does not require manual intervention or assistance from other devices in the network. Simply set the controller restart status to the current working condition to avoid the tedious operation of restarting from the workstation; In addition, it can also be paired with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent short-term power outages from interfering with the process.

（3） High flexibility, adaptable to diverse needs

Support advanced operations: compatible with DeltaV Batch options, and can also run advanced control functions such as neural network control and model predictive control.

Data transmission capability: capable of transmitting intelligent HART information from field devices to any workstation node in the control network, supporting applications such as Asset Management Solutions, and achieving remote management of HART information in HART or Foundation fieldbus devices.

System Scalability: As the system size expands, the number of Device Signal Tags (DST) allocated to the controller can be increased by upgrading software licenses, from an initial 50 to 750 (the overall performance and application scale of the controller are affected by the complexity of the control strategy and the scanning rate of the control module); Redundant controllers can also be added online as backups for MD Plus controllers, and the backup controller can automatically switch online without disturbance during the transition process (refer to the “I/O Redundancy” product data sheet for details).

Compatible with legacy system migration: Provides DeltaV platform support for PROVOX and RS3 controller migration, adapting to corresponding migration I/O interfaces. Among them, when migrating the PROVOX system, the original I/O can be retained through the migration I/O interface, supporting up to 750 actual I/O signals. The serial dataset is migrated to the DeltaV serial card, and because the DeltaV system supports direct module reference, there is no need to use virtual I/O anymore; RS3 system migration can also be fully supported through MD Plus controllers and corresponding migration I/O interfaces.

It combines the low cost of commercial off the shelf components with DeltaV specific software and features, providing stronger integration and plug and play capabilities in control networks. This switch can run in a DeltaV network without configuration, and advanced features can be easily configured through the DeltaV wizard. It also has an advanced security feature of automatic port locking, which can adapt to today’s complex network environment.

Product advantages

Plug and play installation: The switch is pre configured with settings compatible with DeltaV, and can be installed into the DeltaV network right out of the box. It fully supports DeltaV network communication without user configuration, and users cannot change the default configuration to avoid configuration errors.

Automatic locking function: It can prevent unauthorized network connections, and the one click locking function can automatically lock all unused network ports in the system, in compliance with factory security policies. Only users with specific permissions can perform locking and unlocking operations, and all locking and unlocking events will be recorded in the DeltaV event log for easy monitoring.

Rich hardware configuration: Provides a variety of hardware solutions, from 24 port rack mounted units to fixed port and modular on-site installed switches, to meet various network needs and replace currently supported Cisco and Hirschmann switches. In most cases, it can be used as a direct replacement for existing managed switches.

Comprehensive support service: As an Emerson product, it is fully supported by Emerson, including technical support, warranty support, product support, and training from global service centers. The intelligent switch is included in the fast module replacement plan, which can quickly replace faulty equipment.

Network monitoring and settings

Network monitoring: Provides read-only access to switch network monitoring functionality, which can be collected using third-party SNMP applications (such as “What’s Up Gold”) and standard SNMP v3 communication to monitor switch health status, or accessed through the switch’s built-in web interface.

Switch settings: Easily set up through the built-in DeltaV wizard, connect serial cables and run terminal access applications to enable advanced features in a simple Q&A format. The wizard restricts address selection and only allows pre configured addresses and subnet addresses within the DeltaV LAN for easy setup.

Security and compatibility

Access security: All user access to the switch is password protected and can be changed through the DeltaV wizard to allow remote access for read-only user functionality and through the network access settings wizard. Remote access can also be disabled, and SNMP v3 access is always in read-only mode.

Compatibility: Compatible with all versions of the DeltaV system, can be used to expand or retrofit existing DeltaV systems, can also serve as a backup for some existing Cisco and Hirschmann switches (automatic switch locking is only compatible with DeltaV v10.3), and can be installed and used in hybrid systems with currently supported Cisco or Hirschmann switches.

Hardware Reliability and Network Examples

Hardware reliability: Based on hardware from well-known industrial grade network equipment suppliers, all switches have no fans, redundant power connections and external alarm contacts, as well as high temperature and conformal coating versions, suitable for harsh environments.

Network example: In a typical network implementation, VE6048 can be used as a central switch located in a rack room with AC power supply, while VE6041 (or VE6042, VE6043) is used as an on-site installed switch for the controller at the installation location. When necessary, multiple VE6048 switches can be interconnected through gigabit ports to provide network backbone for connecting devices or other DeltaV switches. VE6042 or VE6043 can also be used as a central switch according to demand.

Basic Overview

The A6110 dual channel shaft vibration monitor is a module of the A6000 machine monitoring system, controlled by a microprocessor and used in conjunction with two eddy current measurement chains to measure and monitor the relative shaft vibration of various turbines, compressors, fans, gearboxes, and other equipment. Its two channels can be configured to be used as independent channels or interrelated, with multiple operating modes, and characteristic values can be output through the 0/4… 20mA current of each channel.

CSA certification related

Certification Mark: In order for CSA certification to be valid, all devices (IMR 6000/xx and A6000 modules) must be labeled with the corresponding CSA label. Without a label, they will not be certified by CSA.

Acceptance criteria: 24V safe low voltage SELV LPS (C22.2 60950-1) power supply is required, and the voltage comes from an independent power source; The IMR system should be placed in a suitable fire-resistant enclosure; The working environment temperature is between 0 ° C and 45 ° C, and sufficient ventilation space should be provided.
