Benefits

Modular and flexible construction: The S-series traditional

I/O subsystem is designed with your investment in mind.

Each controller supports up to eight I/O carriers that form a

robust, passive bus for up to 64 I/O interfaces. Each interface

has a matching I/O terminal block and can be installed in any

I/O slot on the bus. Carriers and interfaces can be added online,

without interruption to the existing I/O communication.

This modular design enables you to purchase the exact

amount of I/O cards, eight-wide carriers, power/controllers,

and two-wide carriers you need and add more DeltaV I/O

as your system grows.

The integrated bus is divided

into primary and secondary power for odd- and even-numbered

slots. Each slot is individually fused to protect power to other

cards. This significantly reduces the external power distribution

circuits while still providing each card with fused 24V DC bussed

field power.

Make-before-break contacts ensure digital field instruments remain powered and the process is

undisturbed.

Analog output signals are briefly driven by both cards for < 5 ms during switchover of the card.

Hardware Alerts automatically report hardware integrity errors for both the primary and secondary cards.

Any event that causes a switchover is also reported automatically through the system hardware alerts and

is logged in the Event Chronicle.

Events that can cause a switchover include.

Hardware failure within the active card.

Communications failure between the active card and the controller.

Detection of a fault in the field wiring.

A switchover may also be initiated from the diagnostics explorer, and the health and status of both cards

and their channels are available in the diagnostics explorer.

The system automatically commissions a new standby card.

In safe areas, failed cards can be replaced under power.

In hazardous areas, appropriate installation procedures must be followed.

I/O Card Redundancy

Redundant I/O cards are available for critical applications.

The same card can be used in simplex or redundant applications.

When installed on a two-wide redundant terminal block, the cards are recognized as a redundant pair by the controller.

The controller scans each card and determines which card is acting as the active interface.

When a fault is detected, the system automatically switches to the standby I/O card.

DeltaV Control modules reference simplex and redundant I/O channels identically 

and there is no special configuration required to take advantage of redundancy.

Switchover of a redundant I/O card is completed within two scans of the I/O bus.

Make-before-break contacts ensure digital field instruments remain powered and the process is undisturbed.

Analog output signals are briefly driven by both cards for < 5 ms during switchover of the card.

Hardware Alerts automatically report hardware integrity errors for both the primary and secondary cards.

Any event that causes a switchover is also reported automatically through the system hardware alerts and is logged in the Event Chronicle.

Increases productivity

Real-time, online equipment additions: Online addition of new I/O interfaces means your process does not get interrupted.

As new equipment is added, the DeltaV Explorer

acknowledges it and assigns it basic configuration.

Increases process availability

1:1 Redundancy for Traditional and HART I/O cards:

DeltaV redundant I/O uses the same Series 2 I/O cards as  non- redundant I/O.

This allows you to leverage your investment in installed I/O and in I/O spares.

No additional configuration is needed when using a redundant channel. 

The redundant terminal blocks provide the same field wiring connections  as simplex blocks, so there is no extra wiring needed.

Autosense of redundancy: DeltaV autosenses redundant I/O, which greatly simplifies the task of adding redundancy to the system.

The redundant pair of cards is treated as one card  in the system tools.

Automatic Switchover: Should a primary I/O card fail,

the system automatically switches to the “standby” card without user intervention.

The operator is given clear notification of a switchover at the operator display.

Decreases installation time and expense

Plug-and-play installation saves money: All Traditional I/O components plug into the I/O interface carrier.

You can install the I/O interface carriers to manage anticipated growth and postpone

the I/O interfaces until you’re ready to install your additional field devices.

Phased installation saves time: As soon as you mount the I/O interface carrier, you’re ready to begin installing the field devices.

I/O terminal blocks plug directly onto the I/O interface carrier.

There is no need to have the I/O cards installed.

Keys: Traditional I/O interfaces and terminal blocks have  I/O function keys.

These keys ensure that the correct I/O  card is always plugged into the corresponding terminal block.

It’s incredibly easy to use and gives you time to do more.

This design enables you to initially install Traditional I/O  quickly and efficiently.

When you need to replace an I/O card, the function key design ensures that you will always install  it correctly.

This keying system provides a safety measure  by preventing the wrong I/O interface’s being installed.

Control Execution 

Like the Ovation OCR1100 controller, the OCR3000 performs complex modulation,

discrete and sequential control strategies, as well as data acquisition and monitoring functions.

DeltaV System Overview

This chapter gives an overview of the DeltaV digital automation system. It takes a

brief look at the hardware, describes the basic concepts and terminology, introduces

the major software components, and ends with a summary of the ways you can find

out more about the DeltaV system from the Help and Books Online.

Hardware

The manual, Installing Your DeltaV Digital Automation System, also available as an online

book, describes the DeltaV system hardware and provides instructions for installing

and powering up the system.

The I/O subsystem also supports Serial interface cards as well as the Ethernet I/O interface.

These various I/O products provide a wide range of interfaces to meet the needs of your control application.

The SD Plus also supports CHARMS and WirelessHART IO cards.

The CHARMS I/O card (CIOC) connects via the redundant Ethernet

ports of the controller and provide a highly distributed and flexible I/O solution called Electronic Marshalling.

Up to 16 CIOC’s can communicate with one controller, each providing up to 96 individually configurable signal types.

The WirelessHART I/O card provides redundant communication for up to 100 WirelessHART devices,

providing high availability and reliability of wireless data.

Up to 16 Wireless HART I/O cards can communicate to a single controller.

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.

Product Description

The SD Plus controller executes control logic based on the process signals derived

from the I/O subsystem and provides communication to the rest of

the DeltaV control system for operator interaction and data collection.

Each controller node can be installed as a simplex or redundant node.

Redundancy is provided by adding a second controller and power supply

mounted adjacent to the primary controller.

The controllers are connected to the I/O carriers, which are mounted to the right of the controller carriers.

Up to 8 carriers with 8 cards each can be connected to the local bus I/O, for a total of 64 traditional I/O

cards.

In addition to the 8 local I/O carriers, each controller can communicate

with an additional 16 Remote I/O units hosting traditional card based I/O.

In addition to traditional I/O cards, the local bus supports field bus technologies,

including Foundation fieldbus, Profibus DP, DeviceNet and AS-I protocols.
