„ Huge processing capacity. Each EIOC is capable of handling

a huge amount of Data in up to 2000 Control Modules.

„ EIOC is part of the DeltaV Control Network. 60 EIOC’s

can be added directly to the DeltaV Control Network,

allowing maximum freedom in segregating your networks.

„ Flexible networking. User configurable IP addressing for

the Ethernet Device Network allows the EIOC to be used in

almost any plant environment regardless of the networking

scheme. When designing a simplex Ethernet Device Network,

consider that the EIOC and the Ethernet Devices must be on

the same IP subnet to communicate. Also, when designing

a redundant Ethernet Device Network, consider that the

primary and secondary ports in the EIOC must be in different

subnets to follow best engineering practices.

„ Monitoring. Data values integrated into the EIOC can

be used in Control Modules running inside the EIOC.

These control modules allow alarm generation,

history collection, and viewing by the operator,

as with control modules running in a Controller

using traditional DeltaV native I/O.

„ Supports control functionality. In addition,

function blocks allowing for discrete control and limited

PID control are supported for the EIOC. No assignment to a

controller is required. Motors, switchgear, variable frequency

drives; or any device that communicate via Ethernet

protocols can be controlled directly from the EIOC.

„ Easy to connect to Ethernet Devices using Modbus TCP,

EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS, OPC UA client and EtherNet/

IP Control Tag Integration protocols. Use the EIOC Ethernet

protocols to connect your DeltaV system to your Ethernet

Device Networks.

Benefits

Ability to communicate directly to Ethernet Device

Networks. Use the EIOC to monitor and control

Ethernet Devices.

„ Powerful and Scalable. The EIOC allows a huge amount of

data coming from Ethernet Devices to be accessed in DeltaV,

and is scalable to fit your needs with licensing based on the

number of devices you connect. The EIOC can bring:

• Up to 32,000 signals from 256 Ethernet Devices when

using Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, or IEC61850 MMS.

• Up to 30,000 signals from 64 Ethernet Devices when

using OPC UA client protocol.

• Up to 2000 tags (10 signals per tag) from 256 Ethernet

Devices when using EtherNet/IP Control Tag

Integration Protocol.

AMS Device Manager. The WIOC is auto-detected on the

DeltaV network and WirelessHART devices are auto-sensed as

they are added to the network. There is no site survey required

to determine equipment locations. The self-organizing network

automatically determines the optimum communication paths

for each device to navigate around structures, making it easy

and fast to set up your wireless field instrumentation, saving

you time and money. With their reliability and ease of use, selforganizing

WirelessHART mesh networks are perfect in

any environment.

Industry-proven security. The Emerson Automation Solutions

layered approach to wireless network security ensures that

your network stays protected. The network devices implement

Encryption, Authentication, Verification, Anti-Jamming, and

Key Management methods to ensure that data transmissions

are secure.

Benefits

Fully Redundant Wireless Networks. The DeltaV WIOC

is a complete redundant solution for your wireless needs.

Redundant items include DeltaV network communication, 24 V

DC power, WIOCs, and Smart Wireless Field Links, as well as the

multiple communication paths of the adaptive mesh network

itself. The redundant architecture eliminates any single point

of failure and provides immediate switchover in case of a fault

anywhere along the WIOC and Field Link hardware.

WirelessHART delivers PlantWeb. The WIOC powers

PlantWeb by giving you access to intelligent devices using

WirelessHART technology. WirelessHART devices have the

same PlantWeb alerts as their wired counterparts, providing a

consistent user experience.

The WirelessHART I/O card (WIOC) provides redundant

communication for up to 100 WirelessHART devices,

providing high availability and reliability of wireless data.

Up to 16 WirelessHART I/O cards can communicate to

one controller, each providing up to 100 signals.

Control modules are automatically scheduled by the controller,

based on their assigned scan rates. This allows each control

function to be optimized based on the process dynamics.

Modules scan times can be set as fast as 100 ms, and as slow

as 60 seconds. The number of control modules that can be

assigned to a controller depends on the complexity and scan

rate of each module, and the available CPU and memory.

The SX controller should be used for medium to large

applications with a maximum of 1500 individual I/O signals.

The SX controller is designed for harsh environments and

is rated for G3 corrosive environments, with an operating

temperature range from -40 to 60°C. 

The SX controller also supports CHARMs and WirelessHART I/O

cards. The CHARM I/O Card (CIOC) connects via the redundant

Ethernet ports of the controller to provide a highly distributed

and flexible I/O solution called Electronic Marshalling. Up to

16 CIOC’s can communicate to one controller, each providing

up to 96 individually configurable signal types.

The capacity limits of the SX controller may vary depending on

the particular application, amount of CHARM I/O Signals and

as well control performance requirements. Enhanced memory

handling and hardware alerts covering capacity and memory,

via indexes, got added to the diagnostic information of the SX Controller.

It is ideally suited for larger

units with higher I/O counts. It can be field mounted close to

the equipment, or centrally located in an equipment room.

For more traditional installations with central marshalling

cabinets, CHARM I/O cards can be mounted in standard I/O

cabinets providing Electronic Marshalling. CHARM I/O cards

can also be used for highly distributed I/O applications.

Easy to Use. Controllers are also easy to configure.

Simply connect the SX to the DeltaV network and auto-sense

it from DeltaV Explorer. Add the controller and all its IO cards

to the system database and all components are automatically

addressed and communicating.

„ Control strategies are developed using IEC-61131

programming techniques: Function Blocks,

Sequential Function Charts and Structured Text.

„ Automatic diagnostics 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 SX controller complements the

SQ controller by providing additional CPU and Memory

for those applications that need more control capacity:

„ Late Changes. You can easily upgrade an SD Plus or

SQ controller to an SX to handle project scope changes

late in the project. Simply replace the SD Plus or SQ with

the SX and all existing configuration, documentation and

hardware design remain the same — forgiving.

„ Speed. The SX 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 SX controller supports

1:1 redundancy for increased availability. Redundant SD

Plus or SQ controllers can be upgraded to SX controllers

online — robust!

Quick Assembly. The S-series hardware has been designed 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.

Field Proven Architecture. The SX controller is an evolution

of the DeltaV MX controller. The new design delivers

installation and robustness enhancement while still using

the same processor and OS that has proven itself in the

field. All IO cards run the latest software enhancements

of corresponding M-series IO cards and deliver the same

field proven, reliable operation.

Designed for Electronic Marshalling. The SX controller

have highly distributable IO capabilities with CHARMs based

Electronic Marshalling. Electronic Marshalling IO can be

mounted anywhere, facilitating system design and expansion

while reducing overall system footprint over traditional

marshalled IO Subsystems.
