Field Proven Architecture.

The S-Series controllers are an evolution of DeltaV M-Series hardware.

The new design delivers installation and robustness enhancement while still using the

same processor and OS that has proven itself in the field.

All S-series I/O cards run the latest software enhancements of corresponding

M-Series I/O cards and deliver the same field proven, reliable operation.

Designed for Digital Marshalling.

The S-Series controllers have highly distributable I/O capabilities with CHARMS based Electronic Marshalling.

Electronic Marshalling I/O can be mounted anywhere, facilitating system design and expansion

while reducing overall system footprint over traditional marshalled I/O Subsystems.

Advanced Controls.

The SD Plus controller supports all the advanced control features that are expected in a world class Digital Control System:

 Batch Software

 Model Predictive Control

 Neural Networks

Easy to use.

Controllers are also easy to configure. Simply connect the SD Plus to the DeltaV network and Auto-Sense it from DeltaV Explorer.

Add the controller and all its IO interfaces to the system database and all components are automatically addressed and communicating.

There are no dip switches or jumpers to set.

 Control strategies are developed using IEC-61131 programming techniques: Function Blocks, Sequential Function Charts and Structured Text.

 Automatic diagnostic and event reporting with time stamps applied in the controller

 Set control execution to match process dynamics and controller scheduling adjusts automatically.

 Reference any parameter by its module name, regardless of its location in the system.

 Synchronized system clock for consistent time based event driven actions across the system.

 Online expandable IO carriers allow new cards to be added online, with autosense capability, for modular system growth

 Hardware redundancy is automatically detected with zero configuration effort.

Benefits

Scalable controllers. The SD Plus controller complements the SX controller by providing

a smaller controller platform at a reduced price for those small to moderate applications:

 Speed. The SD Plus controller supports all the features you’ve come to expect from the DeltaV system: 

self-addressing, automatic I/O detection. All these features are designed to make your projects execute faster—just plug and play!

 Redundant architecture. The SD Plus controller supports 1:1 redundancy for increased availability.

Redundant SD Plus controllers can be upgraded to SX controllers online—robust!

 Late Changes. You can easily upgrade an SD Plus controller to an SX to handle project

scope changes late in the project. Simply replace the SD Plus with the SX and all existing configuration,

documentation and hardware design remain the same —forgiving.

Quick Assembly. The S-Series hardware has been redesigned for speed of project execution.

Carriers snap to standard DIN rails and controllers and S-series IO snap into position without the use of retaining screws.

DeviceNet Interface Cards

In DeltaV v12 and later, the number of DSTs per connected

DeviceNet device will be 1 DST in most cases. The DST type

counted will be the most valuable type used to reference

a signal for each device. If references are made to more

than 16 signals from a device, additional signal references

beyond the 16th reference will each count as a DST.

A motor starter, for example, with 4 to 5 signal references,

will consume 1 DST (typical an AI or DO DST). A remote I/O

island will consume 1 DST for the first 16 signal references,

and 1 DST for each additional signal reference beyond the

16th signal reference.

Profibus DP Interface Cards

In DeltaV v12 and later, the number of DSTs per connected

Profibus DP device will be 1 DST in most cases. The DST

type counted will be the most valuable type used to

reference a signal for each device. If references are made

to more than 16 signals from a device, additional signal

references beyond the 16th reference will each count

as a DST. A motor starter, for example, with 4 to 5 signal

references, will consume 1 DST (typical an AI or DO DST).

A remote I/O island will consume 1 DST for the first 16

signal references, and 1 DST for each additional signal

reference beyond the 16th signal reference.

DeltaV Licensing Guidelines

DeltaV I/O licensing for the VIM2 depends on the I/O cards

the VIM is emulating and follows that card type’s rules.

Programmable Serial Interface Cards

Serial dataset registers can be referenced directly in control

modules as analog or discrete I/O providing fast easy data

exchange with the serial device. Direct module-to-Dataset/

register references are recommended for control signals.

Alternatively, users can read multiple registers from a

Dataset into a single “marshalling” module at the cost of a

single DST. Marshalling modules provide a cost-effective

way to integrate serial data from analyzers and other data

sources. Serial dataset registers can also be passed as

SCADA values directly to Workstations and Continuous

Historians without consuming DST’s.

See the M-series Serial Interface Series 2 product data

sheet for additional details.

PROFINET

The VIM2 with the PROFINET Driver acts as an I/O

Controller in a PROFINET network, exchanging data with

I/O Devices using Real-Time (RT) messaging. Isochronous

real-time (IRT) communication is not supported. The driver

supports the PROFINET v2.2 specification and emulates

Profibus DP cards on the DeltaV I/O bus.

Field device communications comprise I/O data, alarms,

and diagnostics. Other aspects of field data, e.g., data

records and logbook information, are not supported.

Alarm and diagnostic data are reported to PC-based

VIMNet Explorer tools. Only I/O data and corresponding

status are reported to the DeltaV controller.

The VIM2 with the EtherNet/IP Driver provides the following

compatible functions using the Common Industrial Protocol

(CIP) as defined in the EtherNet/IP Specification from

Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) and ControlNet

International. The driver emulates either Programmable

Serial cards or DeviceNet cards on the DeltaV I/O bus.
