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.

Easy to use. The VIM2 is easy to use and well integrated into the DeltaV system.

VIMNet Explorer is integrated with DeltaV Explorer to make setup of the VIM2 easy and intuitive.

Modular, flexible packaging. The VIM2 mounts in the same manner as the DeltaV controller.

It mounts in the controller slot of a DeltaV 2-wide horizontal or 4-wide vertical carrier and uses a standard DeltaV Power Supply.

The advanced design of the VIM2 will provide years of uninterrupted use.
