Product Description

For critical process control applications where you can’t afford

interruptions, the DeltaV system offers controller redundancy.

The standby controller contains the same control strategies as

the active controller and the redundancy link transfers control

parameters to the standby controller to ensure it is ready to take

control if needed.

With redundancy enabled, each module will calculate the

required updates for the Standby controller when it executes.

These updates are transferred to the standby controller over

the redundancy link. These additional operations for controller

redundancy will typically reduce your CPU free time by

approximately 10%.

When a fault is detected, the standby controller can take over

without bumping the process control signals. The DeltaV Event

Chronicle stores a record of each switchover and the reason it

occurred (if the reason has been identified).

Replacing an existing standby controller is as simple as removing

the existing unit and installing a new controller. The active

controller will detect the standby and the system will automatically

commission and download the new hardware. A redundancy

license is required in addition to the redundant hardware. The

redundant controller appears in the Explorer window as a single

node, indicated by a redundant controller icon.

Introduction

Now you don’t have to worry about a controller hardware failure

interrupting your process and causing costly downtime. Using a

redundant controller, your process is automatically protected in

case of a hardware failure.

If an active controller fails, the standby controller takes over

automatically, providing uninterrupted control operation

without initialization or user intervention. The switchover

generates no disturbances to the field output signals, so your

process continues to run without impact. There is no special

cabling or configuration required to add redundancy, simply

add a controller to your existing hardware.

Redundant controllers also support the upgrade of controller

firmware and hardware online. You can therefore upgrade

your MD Plus to an MQ or MX or your SD Plus to an SQ or SX

controller online, with no configuration changes.

DeltaV System Concepts

The DeltaV system helps users create process control systems that are easy to set up,

easy to operate, consistent, and secure. To accomplish these goals, the DeltaV system

uses the following:

Plug-and-play technology for hardware configuration

A library of reusable control modules to simplify the initial configuration effort

Techniques like drag-and-drop to simplify system configuration and modification

Consistent graphical interface similar to that of the Microsoft Windows operating

environment

Integrated, context-sensitive help and online documentation

Hardware and software approaches to ensure system security and integrity

A Configuration Assistant that steps you through the configuration process,

configuring the system while teaching you the fundamentals

Terminology

Control strategies in the DeltaV system are configured in modules. A module, which

is the smallest logical control entity in the system, contains algorithms, conditions,

alarms, displays, historical information, and other characteristics that define the

process equipment. Algorithms are the logical steps that define how the module

behaves. The DeltaV system provides control, equipment, and unit modules.

Generally, a control module contains one uniquely tagged control entity, such as a

control loop or motor, with its associated logic. Defining a module around a single

field device and its related control logic makes it easy to create, download, operate,

debug, and take a single module out of service without affecting other modules.

Equipment modules coordinate the operation of control modules and other

equipment modules that work together to control related equipment. The algorithm

for the containing equipment module manages the operation of the contained

modules.

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.

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. 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.

Introduction

The DeltaV S-Series controllers provide communication and control functions and integrate field devices and the other nodes on the control network. The SX and SD Plus controllers provide a choice to match the controller capacity to the requirements of the process. They also provide new ease of use features that eliminate mounting screws and accelerate cabinet assembly.

Control strategies and system configurations created on earlier DeltaV systems can be used with this controller. The SD Plus Controller provides all the features and functions of the M-Series controllers with the added support for CHARM based Digital Marshalling.

The control languages executed in the controllers are described in the Control Software product data sheet.

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.

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.

Introduction

The MD Plus Controller provides communication and control between the field devices and the other nodes on the control network. Control strategies and system configurations created on earlier DeltaV™ systems can be used with this powerful controller. The MD Plus Controller provides all the features and functions of the M5 Plus Controller, with plenty of memory for large batch and other memory-intensive applications.

The control languages executed in the controllers are described in the Configuration Software Suite product data sheet.

Benefits

Increases productivity

Faster. The MD Plus Controller is more than 400% faster than the M5 Plus Controller and over 3X the user configurable memory as the MD controller. The Ethernet ports are full duplex, 100MB/second maximum throughput. The results are lower CPU utilization and higher capacity for control strategies.

Self-addressing. The DeltaV controller is unique in its ability to automatically identify itself to the DeltaV control network. When the controller is powered up, it is automatically assigned a unique address—no dip switches, no configuring—just plug and play!

Self-locating. A controller’s physical location is easy to find. LEDs on the face of the controller can be made to flash, providing a strong visual clue.

Automatic I/O detection. The controller can identify all I/O interface channels located on the subsystem. As soon as an I/O interface is plugged in, the controller knows the general characteristics of the field devices managed by that I/O interface. This reduces the no value engineering associated with configuration — easy!
