Emerson M-series Virtual I/O Module 2
Benefits
Non-Intrusive DeltaV I/O simulation. Use the VIM2 in conjunction with the MYNAH Technologies’ MiMiC Simulation Software to simulate your DeltaV M-Series I/O and digital bus field devices.
Supports DeltaV I/O modules. Provides completely non-intrusive simulation of all DeltaV M-series I/O Modules. Supports autosensing of I/O and accurate testing of controller loading. DeltaV configuration can be fully tested without modifying the control strategies.
Digital bus support. Provides simulation of all DeltaV Digital Busses and Foundation Fieldbus function blocks. Supports Foundation Fieldbus control in the field configuration testing.
Powerful simulation solution. Provides full simulation of up to 64 DeltaV I/O modules per controller. Simulation execution is fast and efficient; the DeltaV controller thinks it’s talking with real IO.
Powerful integration solution. Use the VIM2 in conjunction with the MYNAH Ethernet I/O drivers to integrate your DeltaV system with your Ethernet I/O device networks.
Large device capacity. Each VIM emulates four DeltaV Serial Cards and support up to 128 Serial Card Datasets of information from 32 network devices in simplex installations and 16 devices in redundant installations. Communication over the Ethernet I/O device network is fast and efficient.
Flexible networking. User configurable IP addressing allows the VIM2 to be used in almost any plant environment regardless of networking scheme. The VIM2 and the Ethernet I/O devices must be on the same IP subnet to communicate.
1:1 Redundancy. Redundancy can be added to any Ethernet I/O system by adding a second VIM2 and configuring the two cards as a redundant pair. The VIM2 appears as four redundant DeltaV Serial Card pairs. Automatic switchover of primary to standby cards is handled like the DeltaV Serial Card. The operator is given clear notification of a switchover at the operator display. Manual switchover can be controlled in DeltaV Diagnostics.
