Introduction

The DeltaV M-series Virtual I/O Module 2 (VIM2) provides nonintrusive simulation of the

DeltaV M-series I/O Cards and digital bus field devices for process simulation

when used with MYNAH Technologies’ MiMiC Simulation Software.

DeltaV Control strategies and system configurations can be fully tested with this powerful simulation interface.

The VIM2 also provides an interface to Ethernet I/O networks and devices that

use the Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP protocol drivers.

DeltaV M-series controllers can read and write signals from plant floor devices connected

to Ethernet I/O networks such as PLC’s, Motor Control Centers, and Weigh Scales.

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.
