Introduction
DeltaV Advanced Unit Management software provides
class-based Unit, Equipment, Control modules and
Unit Phases to make developing unit-relative
equipment strategies simple.
IEC 61131-3 control languages can be used to
graphically assemble or modify control strategies using
standard drag-and-drop technology. This makes
learning and using the DeltaV system easy, and it
allows you to improve the process while implementing
your batch process controls.

Benefits
Integrated, multi-state, class-based phase logic.
Using sequential function charts (SFCs) and a built-in
state transition diagram, you can create batch phase
control using class-based phases. This easy-to-use
structure includes predefined phase states, automatic
state switching, built-in failure monitoring and a pre-
configured faceplate to manually control your phases
from the Operator Interface. Recipe management
software also orchestrates the execution of phases
including passing recipe parameters and collecting
history data.
IEC61131-3 Control Languages. DeltaV software
supports three IEC61131-3 graphical control
languages so you can always use the tools most
appropriate for the job. Function Block Diagrams
(FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), and
Structured Text (ST) are all available, making control
strategy development both intuitive and easy.
ISA S88 and NAMUR NE33 Standards. These
standards are used throughout the DeltaV system. For
example, both the physical and procedural models are
used as a basis for building batch-related equipment
and sequences. Control modules and process units
can be created and used in conjunction with phases to
carry out a batch process. Phases are executed within
the controller and are tightly integrated with the recipe
management software.
Unit-relative Software Support. Aliasing and
dynamic path reference capabilities are key benefits of
the DeltaV object-oriented batch architecture. By using
the aliasing and dynamic path reference capabilities,
users can create generic phase logic that may be
executed on several different process units. Taking
advantage of these capabilities can dramatically
reduce software design, implementation, test,
validation, and maintenance costs.
FOUNDATION fieldbus functionality. These blocks are
used throughout the DeltaV system. Control strategies
are developed using these standards-based blocks,
which minimize development time and maximize the
systems performance. Many functions like override
control, tracking, and state control are built into these
powerful blocks to save you engineering time. Plus,
with fieldbus you get the added bonus of decreased
wiring costs and improved instrument diagnostics.
Scalable software to meet any need. As your needs
grow, the DeltaV automation system is ready to
expand with you. Additional capacity can be added
online while you continue to control your process.

Product Description and Specification
The Advanced Unit Management license provides
users with the ability to build class-based units and
phase logic to create unit-relative equipment control
strategies. These licenses may be upgraded online
while you continue to monitor and control your
process.

The Advanced Unit Management control software
provides class-based, multi-state phase control in
addition to all of the other DeltaV monitoring, discrete,
sequencing and analog control functions. Each state
(such as running, holding, and aborting) is configured
using standard SFCs, and branching between the
states is fully automatic.
Additionally, the phase logic within each state can be
written generically, using aliases or dynamic
references in place of a standard DeltaV parameter
path. Aliases are resolved at run time based on the
unit module that is executing the phase. Dynamic
references are also resolved at run time and can be
used when the information needed to determine the
parameter path is not available when the phase is
configured.
Both phases and unit modules are fully integrated, with
batch recipes automatically providing execution
control, recipe parameter passing, and history
tracking. Users do not have to map registers or write
custom logic. Operator interfaces and alarm
management are provided as standard features.
Advanced Unit Management control software includes
the ability to display, trend, alarm, and collect history
for values brought in through the controllers I/O
subsystem using Classic I/O, HART, FOUNDATION
fieldbus, Profibus DP, AS-i bus, DeviceNet and Serial
Interface cards.
Units and phases are integrated into the standard
DeltaV Explorer hierarchy and can be used to organize
the control modules and equipment modules that
make up your systems database. Following the
S88.01 Physical Model, the database can be
segregated into areas, process cells within an area,
units within a process cell, and modules within a unit.
Phases are included as well. A list of phases that can
run on a given unit appears under that unit in the
hierarchy.

Different control languages are optimized for various
tasks, making control strategies simple to configure.
The control languages can be mixed within a single
DeltaV module, and the choice of control languages
(FBD, SFC, and ST) allows you to use the tools most
appropriate for the tasks at hand. All three languages
execute within the controller in their native form
without translation from one language to another. With
these IEC61131-3 graphical control languages, control
strategies are assembled and modified using standard
drag-and-drop technology. Strategy development is
visually intuitive, making it easy for first-time users to
quickly become productive. Context-sensitive, online
help is available for all functions.
Sequential Function Charts enable you to configure
operator-independent time variant actions. An SFC
comprises a series of steps and transitions. Each step
contains a set of actions that affect the process.
Transitions control when processing moves on to the
next step(s). Both single-stream and parallel execution
of logic are supported within SFCs. SFCs can be used
to generate controller based dynamic operator
prompts, which allow the embedding of phase
parameter values in the prompt string.

The DeltaV system uses Function Block Diagrams to
implement continuously executing calculations,
process monitoring, and control strategies. Graphical
wires are used to connect the different blocks within
a diagram. Each wire transfers one or more pieces of
data. All communications throughout the DeltaV
system are handled automatically.

DeltaV function blocks are implemented using the
structure specified by the FOUNDATION fieldbus
standard, but they are also enhanced and extended to
provide greater flexibility in control strategy design.
FOUNDATION fieldbus-compliant function blocks enable
you to take advantage of control in the field. Using
fieldbus also gives you reduced wiring costs and
improved instrument diagnostics.
Executing control in the field using FOUNDATION
fieldbus distributes the control algorithms as close to
the transmitters and final control elements as possible,
thus increasing the integrity of your control loop.
You design control strategies that best meet your
control application requirements. Then, decide
whether the function blocks controlling the process run
in the controller, field devices, or both. The discrete
control functions, as well as graphical control
languages, are also included. Discrete motor and
PID loop function block diagram

discrete valve control provide comprehensive control
strategies that incorporate interlocking, permissives,
field start-stop, hand-off-auto, and state control under
a single easy-to-configure control tag.
Finally, the DeltaV systems library of pre-engineered
module templates, provided with the Configuration
Suite, enables fast and easy control software
implementation. Using simple drag-and-drop features,
it takes only seconds to create completed loop, motor,
and valve modules. These pre-engineered modules
provide a reliable, proven solution and incorporate all
the alarming and operator interface requirements
under the same tag. However, if they dont meet all
your requirements, they can be easily modified and
extended. Tracking these additions, as well as
deletions and changes made to any item in the
configuration database, is accomplished with the
Configuration Audit Trail and Version Management
option.
Capacity
The DeltaV system provides the exact level of
monitoring and control functionality your application
requires. The software is also scalable in size. It is
sized according to the number of device signal tags
(DSTs) and SCADA tags that are used in the system.
A DST is any signal used as a measured variable or
controlled output. A SCADA tag is a value brought into
the DeltaV system for monitoring, display, and history
collection.
Classic I/O supports one tag per device. HART,
FOUNDATION fieldbus, and serial communications can
support multiple tags per device. OPC
communications can support multiple tags per server.
System stress tests have proven that the DeltaV
system is capable of providing the capacity and
performance needed to handle applications of any
size. While there are no fixed limits on the number of
phases and units that can be created, these tests
provide recommended guidelines for setting up your
system. The DeltaV system provides the scalable
solution to your process control software requirements.

DeltaV I/O Subsystem Carriers
May 2005Page 1

The DeltaV modular I/O subsystem is easy to install and maintain.
Modular design allows flexible installation
Allows you to expand online
Increases I/O density for cabinet-mounted
systems
Introduction
Get your I/O subsystem up and running efficiently
with the DeltaV horizontal- or vertical-mount I/O
carriers. The power/controller contains internal
power buses. You dont need to use external cabling
to connect the system power supply to the DeltaV
controller and the I/O interface carriers.
The power/controller and I/O carriers are modular.
Purchase only what you need but be assured that as
your system grows you can add plug-and-play
carriersEasy!
Benefits
Modular design allows flexible installation. A
T-type DIN rail is all you need to mount the
power/controller carrier into place. The I/O interface
carrier plugs on to the power/controller carrier.
Simply plug your I/O terminal blocks into the carrier.
The DeltaV systems modular design approach
allows you to add I/O carriers as you need them.
Allows you to expand online. Additional 8-wide
carriers may be added online as desired.
Increases density for cabinet-mounted systems.
Alternatively, if flexibility, increased capacity, and
simple cabinet installation are your goals, use the
vertical-mount solution. Six I/O carriers (384 classic
I/O) fit in one side of a standard 800mm x 600mm x
2200mm cabinet.

The I/O interface carrier plugs on to the
power/controller carrier. The power/controller carrier
supplies the system power and communications
between the I/O interfaces and the controller. The
controller processes the I/O interface information.
For the horizontal-mount solution, an additional
power/controller carrier is required for use with
redundant controllers.
Mount your interface carrier on a T-type DIN rail.
The I/O interface carrier includes the connections for
the bulk AC to 24 VDC power supply, I/O interfaces,
and terminal blocks. Each I/O interface carrier is
equipped with a connector that allows an additional
I/O interface carrier to be plugged on to it. Up to 64
I/O interfaces and eight 8-wide I/O interface carriers
are supported by a single I/O subsystem. For the
horizontal-mount solution, a 1-wide local bus cable
enables you to connect 2-wide carriers together. For
the vertical-mount solution, the connector for the
cable is already in place. Both carrier styles can be
used with any DeltaV system, regardless of software
revision level.
With the introduction of DeltaV SIS in the V8
software release, the left one-wide and right one-
wide dual carrier extenders have two, 44-pin D-Shell
connectors which supports dual cables for a fault
tolerant configuration. The A and B connectors are
in parallel so either port may be used. The Vertical
mount carriers do not support dual cables. DeltaV
SIS cannot be used on Vertical carriers the new
dual carrier extenders (for horizontal) are a pre-
requisite for DeltaV SIS.

Benefits
Decreases capital equipment costs.
Full system modularity. The Classic I/O subsystem
was designed with your investment in mind. All
components are fully modular and may be installable
under power.
1
You add I/O interface carriers and I/O
interfaces in groups of 8 channels as you need
them. The modular design enables you to purchase
the exact amount of I/O cards, 8-wide carriers,
power/controllers, and 2-wide carriers you need and
add more DeltaV I/O as your system grows.
Reduced system footprint. The DeltaV systems
state-of-the-art form factor design of the I/O
components enables you to mount the I/O interface
carrier in a junction box in the field so you
significantly reduce the footprint of your equipment
and increase valuable control room space for other
uses.
Installation. Save on wiring expenses by installing
Classic I/O in the field, near the actual field devices.
Mounting the controller with the I/O further reduces
your wiring expenditures by eliminating the need for
long runs of multi-cores. The integrated design of
the I/O subsystem can eliminate the need for
marshaling panels. This saves you even more in
your total capital costs.
The provision of in-line fuses and bussed power
saves on installation costs compared with external
fuses and power distribution.

Decreases installation time and
expense.
Plug-and-play installation saves money. All
Classic 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 youre ready to install your additional
field devices.
Phased installation saves time. As soon as you
mount the I/O interface carrier, youre 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.
Classic I/O terminal block.
Keys. Classic 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. Its incredibly easy to
use and gives you time to do more.
This design enables you to initially install Classic 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 interfaces being installed.
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.
I/O Cards
A variety of analog and discrete I/O cards is
available to meet your specific requirements. All I/O
cards are enclosed in a common form factor that
plugs into the I/O interface carrier. The housing is
clearly labeled with the enclosed I/O card type.
Clearly visible LEDs on the top of the I/O card
display the power, error, and status to the channels
included in the I/O card.
We have met ISA G3 corrosion specifications by the
careful selection of superior electronic components
and the use of conformal coating.
For slow pulse applications (< 125 Hz) any discrete
input card can be used. The most commonly used
discrete input cards for pulse applications are the
discrete input 24 VDC.

I/O Terminal Blocks
A variety of I/O terminal blocks is available to meet
specific functionality and environmental
requirements. I/O terminal blocks and I/O cards used
together are equipped with function and field wiring
protection keys to ensure that only the I/O card and
I/O terminal block that match functionally can be
plugged into each other.
The terminal block keys can be preset to speed
installation. For field devices that are located in an
intrinsically safe zone, or discrete field devices that
require more than the maximum specified current,
standard mass terminated interfaces are provided
with 10-, 16-, or 24-pin connections to allow mass
termination cable connection to intermediary panels.
The systems integrator usually installs these panels.
The low-level signals are conducted over 0.093 mm
(28 AWG) ribbon cable or round instrument cable.
For field devices requiring external power, the 4-wire
I/O terminal block is available. This particular I/O
terminal block is used in conjunction with the AI, 4-
20 mA card.

DeltaV Control Network Hardware
April 2006Page 1

The standards-based, high-performance DeltaV Control Network is easy to install and maintain.

Easy to use
Scalable and cost-effective
Flexible
Redundant
Introduction
Your control network is the backbone of your
system. The DeltaV Control Network is a standard
Ethernet network dedicated to the DeltaV system.
You interconnect the DeltaV workstations and the
controllers using the Control Network.
The Control Network is a dual-speed 10/100BaseT
network. CAT 5 screened (ScTP) twisted-pair cable
connects each node to the hub or switch.
The DeltaV system supports a specific set of
network hubs and switches for the DeltaV Control
Network (see the ordering information included in
this document for details of the specific control
network devices we support.)
Benefits
Plug-and-play components. You can expand the
network easily; just plug in another workstation or
controller and it is recognized by the system.
TM

Product Data Sheet
April 2006Page 2

Standard compliance. Network components are
compliant with standards such as IEEE, EMC and
CSA.
Installation under power. You can install and
remove nodes under power. Hubs and switches
make a convenient attachment point for new nodes:
no breaking of existing cables or failover issues in a
redundant system.
Network diagnostics. On the managed switches
you can use software diagnostics to verify proper
communication-line health. The LEDs on each
individual hub/switch provide health status
information.
Off-the-shelf products. DeltaV systems use the
highest-quality third-party products to ensure
reliability.
Scalable in small increments. The DeltaV system
provides a package with very low initial cost. You
are able to expand the system readily and
economically by adding hardware incrementally to
your system. Further, the Control Software comes
with different sizing and functionality options tailored
to your needs.
Fast communication. The hub is used for electrical
connectivity of the networked system. It is a passive
device that is invisible to network nodes. The switch
is an active device and provides higher performance
than the hub. It is also invisible to network nodes.
Redundant. The Control Network is a fully
redundant communication network. Nodes may also
be connected using a simplex network but this is not
a recommend practice.

Control Network connections
TM

Product Data Sheet
April 2006Page 3

Product Description and
Specification
The DeltaV Control Network is configured in a star
topology. Other network configurations are not
supported.
Hubs and Switches
The Control Network can use one or more Ethernet
hubs or switches for communications connections.
To be supported by Emerson Process Management,
the DeltaV control network must be set up using the
network equipment listed in the ordering section (or
using the 3COM equipment previously sold by
Emerson Process Management).
Wiring
The maximum Control Network cable length from
the hub/switch to a node is 100m (330 ft). For longer
distances, use a fiber-optic solution.
A workstation, a hub, and a controller can be
connected with 10BaseT Ethernet. If a switch is
used, they can be connected using 10/100BaseT
Ethernet.
A workstation contains two Ethernet interface ports,
providing a simplex or redundant 10BaseT or
100BaseT connection to the Control Network.
The MD controller provides a redundant 10/100
BaseT (8-pin RJ45) port. Controllers prior to the MD
run 10BaseT Ethernet.
Ethernet Cable
The DeltaV system requires the use of Category 5
screened (ScTP) cable for the 10/100BaseT dual-
speed network.
Fiber-optic Wiring
Because fiber-optic cables do not conduct electricity,
they should be used in connections between
buildings or in plant areas where electromagnetic
interference is present. For more information on
wiring, please see the DeltaV Network Hardware
Configuration whitepaper.
Fiber-optic cabling should also be used where wire
runs are longer than 100 meters (330 ft).

for alarms, graphics and faceplates.
Since no one knows how to operate your plant better
than you do, DeltaV also is fully modifiable to match
your plant. This includes everything, from graphics
such as alarm summaries and faceplates, to the
standard desktop and user security.
With the appropriate system licenses, operators can
add and operate batches, as well as view batch
status from DeltaV Operate. Operators can also
enter comments and answer prompts related to
active batches.
DeltaV Operate provides electronic signature
verification for your critical parameters, addressing
to the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11. The
parameters that require electronic signature are
defined with the control module, thus consistent
electronic signature policies are applied to the

Control Studio Online is one of a wide range of related DeltaV products available to expand your operators capabilities.

Operator Graphics. DeltaV Operate includes
powerful graphics capability. All control system
information is readily available for display. Based on
process conditions, virtually any graphic element
can have visually dynamic characteristics, including
color, size, and movement. Graphics for DeltaV
Operate are configured from within DeltaV Operate.
You can even use scanned plant images to help
operator easily identify with the process being
operated. Then add dynamic informationeasy!
Each control module has pre-engineered pop-up
faceplates, trends, and detail displays. The
predefined process graphics buttons provide easy
access to this information. Historical trends can be
embedded within the graphics. You can also directly
view the modules executing control strategy with
Control Studio Online or with History View by
selecting pre-defined buttons when these related
DeltaV products are on the workstation.
DeltaV graphics support powerful display
calculations. You can compare values, perform math
functions, etc., within the graphics.
Sound can be fully integrated with your graphics to
make the graphics more intuitive to operators. For
example, a message describing the graphic could
be played when the graphic is first accessed.
Alarms. The alarm banner displays, in descending
order, the five highest-priority alarms. You can view
the process graphic associated with the control
module in alarm by a single click of the alarm button.
Alarms are also displayed on faceplates, process
graphics and alarm summaries. The alarm
summaries show all active alarms for the operator,
all alarms for an area or all alarms for a unit. Alarms
are organized by alarm priority.
Although many alarms may be present in your
system, only the alarms within an operators area of
responsibility are shown. This means that the
operator is not distracted by alarms from other areas
of the plant. However, if an operator with different
responsibilities logs on, the alarm banner
automatically adjusts for this new operator.
Alarms are prioritized, managed, and timestamped
at the source (e.g., a controller). This ensures that

View executing
control strategies

Online
TM
Product Data Sheet
DeltaV Operate
March 2006Page 5

an alarm is displayed with the same priority,
acknowledgment status, and timestamp across
multiple workstations. Each module can have
unlimited standard and user-defined alarms.
User-defined alarms can be easily created. These
alarms can be a combination of other alarms and
process conditions. Unlike other control systems,
which require an expert system to achieve smart
alarms, these come built into the DeltaV system.
You can even dynamically change alarm priorities,
enable or disable alarms, as your process requires.

Alarm presentation is consistent across all Operator
Stations. All alarms of the same priority are
displayed identically throughout the system. Alarm
priority characteristics are defined globally for the
system with the DeltaV Explorer.

For example, all high-priority alarms may be red,
blink when unacknowledged, and produce the same
horn sound.
Horn acknowledgement is managed for all
workstations. When the horn is silenced at one
workstation, all other workstations sounding the horn
for the same reason are also silenced.
Trending. One or more historical and real-time
trends can be embedded right in the process
graphics, with the appropriate system license.
The trend button on a faceplate displays a historical
trend specifically for the control module you have
selected. Historical trends can be accessed through
History View.

Access to the highest-priority alarms by area provides instant operator focus on critical areas.

Standard Operating Desktop allows you to focus on the operator displays.
Standard Operating Desktop. The DeltaV
operating desktop is specifically designed for the
critical needs of process automation. The operating
desktop is divided into three predesigned sections:
Button Toolbar. Located at the top of the screen,
the toolbar provides single-click access to important
graphic displays, directories, and other applications.
The toolbar offers several predefined buttons. You
can add, delete, or modify these predefined buttons
and layout.
Main Display. The center of the screen is the
primary working area featuring the process graphics.
These graphics range from typical process line
graphics to artistically rendered plant graphics
even photographs of the plant.
Alarm Banner. The bottom of the screen is
dedicated to the alarm banner. The alarm banner
displays the five highest-priority alarms based on the
operator currently logged on. By simply selecting an
alarm, the operator goes directly to the process
graphic and the faceplate is automatically displayed.
Security and Span of Control. Individual users can
have specific privileges that determine which
functions (e.g., operate and debug) they are allowed
to perform and which parameters they are allowed to
change. These user privileges can have a defined
span of control, enabling the privileges to be tailored
to certain plant areas.
Each Operator Station can be limited to certain plant
areas for viewing and operating. This security
feature can be defined for an individual station, as
well as for specific users. Use the DeltaV exclusive
Flexlock to ensure that operators remain dedicated
to monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintaining the
process according to plant operating philosophies.

DeltaV Operate is one application used for both
operation and display configuration.
Display configuration is intuitive and designed for
process control. Display configuration is loaded with
predefined functionality such as faceplates, trends,
alarm summaries, display directories, and detail
displays. You can focus on building the right
displays, instead of creating custom operator
interface designs and layouts.
However, you can also use these pre-defined
displays to easily customize them to fit your
requirements. For example, perhaps you would like
to have alarm summary information as part of your
process graphic. Simply open the DeltaV alarm
summary, copy the appropriate display links and
paste them into the new display.
DeltaV software has been designed to allow you to
"break apart" the standard displays so that you can
easily build displays most appropriate for your plant.

Dynamos simplify display configuration
You dont need to know the physical location of a
module or perform any database mapping to use the
module information in a graphics display. All you
need to know is the name of the module, and you
can simply browse the system for that loop, much

Introduction
Interoperability and Console
Replacement
Emerson Process Managements long-standing
excellence in providing operator interface solutions
continues with DeltaV Operate for PROVOX. The
PROVOX Operator Console Data Server and DeltaV
Operate can interoperate to provide a replacement
console for PROVUE and OWP consoles. DeltaV
Operate for PROVOX can also provide a single
operator interface for both PROVOX and DeltaV
systems.
DeltaV Operate for PROVOX can display operating
information from the PROVOX Operator Console
Data Server to the client workstations running
DeltaV Operate.
Robust, scalable and secure
The PROVOX Operator Console Data Server and
DeltaV Operate can work together to bring a new
industry-leading operator interface to your plant,
providing new ease to the operators using robust
Windows functionality. The familiar global standard
for office management is now setting global
standards for operations control of both PROVOX
and DeltaV systems. That means your operators can
quickly learn to operate the worlds most powerful,
dependable process management systems in a
compact, intuitive PC environment. From this
graphically-rich platform, DeltaV Operate for
PROVOX displays operating information from the
PROVOX Operator Console Data Server to the
client workstations running DeltaV Operate.
The PROVOX Operator Console Data Server is
scalable from 500 points to 2000 points in 500 point
increments, and from 2000 to 10,000 points in 1000
point increments, and you can connect up to six
different single- or dual-headed workstations
concurrently. The Data Server is designed with the
years of operator interface experience found in the
previous PROVOX operator consoles Operator
WorkPlace and PROVUE Consoles. This legacy of
experience provides the security you need in the
operator interface for your plant.

POC has excellent server redundancy, which allows
all the workstations of a failed server to switchover to
the backup server.
Run your process control system using DeltaV
Operate for PROVOX. Use the standard operating
desktop or modify it to fit your specific operational
philosophies and work preferences. Take advantage
of single-click access to graphics, directories, and
other applications.
Powerful operator interface. DeltaV Operate for
PROVOX provides a powerful environment for
process operation, with built-in features for easy
information access. Whether you are viewing the
highest-priority alarm, the next display, or detailed
module information, common operator navigation is
consistent and intuitive. Standard faceplates and
detail displays provide a consistent operating
philosophy for all modules.
High-resolution graphics allow extensive detail and
flexibility in the way information is displayed. This
easy-to-use system enables you to creatively
present your important process control information.
Server Redundancy. Server redundancy provides
connections to both primary and secondary Console
Data Servers. If a problem occurs on the primary
Console Data Server the Console Workstation can
switch to the secondary server. The switchover can
be manual or automatic. The server redundancy also
provides console-resident point redundancy for
DCD, Accumulation, and Integrity points, with a
warm standby for Activity points.
Alarms prioritized by user. Alarm prioritization,
presentation and management helps to focus the
operator on the most important alarms. The
PROVOX and DeltaV alarm banners provide
constant visibility and access to the highest-priority
alarms. And, provided the alarm schemes for both
the PROVOX and the DeltaV systems are
configured similarly, DeltaV Operate for PROVOX
can provide a single alarm banner for all alarms.

The DeltaV and PROVOX systems provide built-in
alarm summaries, providing complete alarm
information, organized by priority. Operators can
view all alarms or alarms for a specific unit or area.
Operators can easily focus on the most important
alarms.
Activity Processing Add-in (Optional)
The Activity Point provides batch processing
capability to the Console Data Server as a console-
resident point. This point provides processing for up
to 32 Activities that are downloaded from the
configuration software and is compatible with
activities that run on Operator Workplace and
PROVUE consoles. Redundancy is provided in the
form of a warm standby.

Open. Improve process consistency and availability
by enabling exceptional information integration from
the field to the boardroom. By opening the process
to a wide variety of users, you promote process
improvements. For example, with the proper
privileges, a manager can review trend, alarm or
event data and look for ways to improve the process.
Or track problems and find solutions with easy
access to historical events information. PROVOX
Operator Console saves PROVOX events and
alarms in files on the server. You dont lose event
journals to one-time printouts. And because the
event log is in simple text files, you can analyze the
information using off-the-shelf applications like Excel
or Access. Or use the optional Event Journal
software to analyze this information right on the
console workstationquickly and easily.
Secure. Protect processes and investments with
safe, effective tools that support an open
environment. Password security and user
authorization protect the process from inappropriate
changes. By setting user privileges, the engineer
defines the plant area operators work within, what
group they occupy, and which applications they can
use. Privileges are set for predefined groups operate,
tune, access, lock and download. Automatic startup
saves valuable time after a shutdown. A robust set
of client/server communication services helps
maintain high system integrity. If communication
between server and workstation is lost, the system
will automatically try to reconnect and inform the
operator if the re-connection is unsuccessful.
Easy. Increase productivity by using powerful tools
in a flexible graphical process control environment.
Online display editinga key new featurelets you
modify graphics and faceplates simply and quickly
without the need for downloads from ENVOX. New
graphics are immediately available for use. Menu-
driven applicationsall with a common look and
feelsimplify configuration. Throughout DeltaV
Operate for PROVOX environment menus, forms,
and dialogs guide you through display-building,
trend setup, and operation. Youre just a few clicks
away from almost anywhere in the process. For example,
a click lets you view and address alarms. A few clicks will
adjust the fill rate of a tank. And smart alarm navigation
allows operators to view and resolve active alarms
immediately. On-line help provides relevant information
when you need it. A combination of context-sensitive and
menu-driven help guides you through tasks such as
configuration, building graphics, and addressing alarm
issues. There is also context- and menu- driven help
specifically designed to help operators learn and
manipulate the console. Since these are written in
standard Windows help format, you can easily add your
own plant/process-specific help information. With a single
button click and a quick search, the operator can find on-
line help, ranging from how to operate the console to
specifics on how to operate your process. The PROVOX
Instrument Area (IA) application enhances efficiency.
Operators use only one standardized window to modify
process operation. The IA contains all the controls the
operator needs, from changing setpoints to closing a
valve, to tuning a loop. A single click on the Instrument
Area toolbar brings up the familiar detailed display
parameters (DDP) for operator inspection. With the proper
security you can modify the DDP values from this screen.
An easy toggle moves between the remote and local DDP
lists.
Real-time trending. The PROVOX Operator Console
trend application can collect trend data for up to 1200
different point tag attributes from any point in the
database. Data collection rates range from 2 seconds to 8
minutes and can store a full 72 hours of data for trended
variables. Existing trend sets from ENVOX can be
imported into this new database. The new trend viewer
window can show up to 6 traces on the same screen. The
window can pan across the full 72 hours of data collected
and trend traces can easily be added as needed for new
operations.
Graphics. DeltaV Operate for PROVOX lets you
customize your displays by importing bitmaps or scanned
high-resolution images. Standard, pre-configured graphic
dynamos have embedded script language and logic
capability. This gives you built-in coordinated display
management and dynamic symbol definition. All PROVOX
information is available for viewing on any process
graphics. No special database mapping is necessary. You
needn't know the physical location of a module to use its
information in a graphics display. All you need is the point
nameor just part of it. Then simply browse the system
for that pointlike youd search for a file on your PC.
Alarms. To provide a safe and effective process, the
Operate displaysin priority orderthe most critical plant
alarms listed in the alarm banner at the bottom of the
screen. This alarm banner is always on top of other

System enhancementmanagement data connection.
Many customers are looking for a low-cost method of
providing a plant data view for plant managers and
process engineers. DeltaV Operate for PROVOX provides
network connections to a plant operations database for
use by non-operators. Management and engineering
users can view plant information easily, right from their
offices, using any Windows NT-based platform (NT
initially, with Windows XP in following release) that meets
our performance specifications. Password protection
provides security, which prevents view-only users from
making changes to plant operations.
For installed PROVOX systems or for adding new
DeltaV systems. If youre choosing a DeltaV system for
the first time to enhance your PROVOX system, youll find
DeltaV Operate for PROVOX provides robust, full console

DeltaV Operate for PROVOX features client-server
architecture. The PROVOX Operator Console Data
Server communicates with the controllers, and
serves the controller point data to the DeltaV
Operate workstations. The workstations provide a
complete set of high performance tools: operator
graphics, sophisticated alarm management and
presentation, real-time trending and online context-
sensitive help. User-specific security ensures that
only authorized operators can make process
changes or access specific information.
The workstation software provided in DeltaV Operate
for PROVOX is the same software as found in DeltaV
Operate. This allows an operator to monitor and
control a plant area controlled by PROVOX
controllers, and to monitor and control a plant area
controlled by DeltaV controllers. Data from the
DeltaV system and the PROVOX system can be
shown on the same display!
9 DeltaV Operate for PROVOX. Incorporates
Active X technology and Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) as the display scripting

Alarms are also displayed on faceplates, process
graphics and alarm summaries. The alarm
summaries show all active alarms for the operator,
all alarms for an area or all alarms for a unit. Alarms
are organized by alarm priority.
Although many alarms may be present in your
system, only the alarms within an operators area of
responsibility are shown. This means that the
operator is not distracted by alarms from other areas
of the plant. However, if an operator with different
responsibilities logs on, the alarm banner
automatically adjusts for this new operator.
Alarms are prioritized, managed, and time-stamped
at the proper location for the system (e.g., a
controller for DeltaV, PROVOX Operator Console
Data Server for PROVOX). This ensures that an
alarm is displayed with the same priority,
acknowledgment status, and timestamp across
multiple workstations. Each DeltaV control module
can have unlimited standard and user-defined
alarms.
User-defined alarms can be easily created. These
alarms can be a combination of other alarms and
process conditions. Unlike other control systems,
which require an expert system to achieve smart
alarms, these come built into DeltaV Operate for
PROVOX.
You can even dynamically change alarm priorities or
enable or disable alarms, as your process requires.
Alarm presentation is consistent across all Operator
Stations. All alarms of the same priority are
displayed identically throughout the system. Alarm
priority characteristics are defined globally for the
system with the DeltaV Explorer or ENVOX Server.
For example, all high-priority alarms may be red,
blink when unacknowledged, and produce the same
horn sound.
Horn acknowledgement is managed for all
workstations. When the horn is silenced at one
workstation, all other workstations sounding the horn
for the same reason are also silenced.
Trending. One or more real-time trends can be
embedded right in the process graphics. The DeltaV
system and the PROVOX system support real-time
and historical trends.
The trend button on a faceplate displays a historical
trend specifically for the control module you have
selected. Historical trends can be accessed through
History View.

Introduction
The DeltaV DeviceNet interface is a field-proven
interface for discrete actuators and sensors. It is
easy to install, reliable, and simple to use.

High data throughput, simple installation, good
diagnostic capabilities and error-free proven
transmission technology make the DeltaV DeviceNet
a good interface solution for complex devices.
Benefits
Offers freedom to choose appropriate bus for
application. The DeltaV system supports sensor,
device, and fieldbus technologies. Choose the most
efficient and effective DeltaV interface for your
needs, based on your operating philosophy and
plant constraints.
Supports standard device-level busses. The
DeltaV system gives a seamless interface with
CENELEC or IEC standard device busses. Our
support of standards ensures your freedom to use
the devices you prefer.
Reduces wiring costs. The DeltaV DeviceNet
interface decreases the number of wiring diagrams
and cable and clamp labeling needed. The modular
designs reduce network creation time. And, it takes
less time to install and test the DeviceNet than
Classic I/O for the equivalent number of discrete
signals.
TM
Product Data Sheet
November 2003Page 2

Features native controller-level interface. DeltaV
DeviceNet cards communicate directly to the
controller, without the need for a serial interface and
other intermediate converters. This greatly simplifies
the configuration and maintenance. You can rely on
DeltaV DeviceNet cards to provide real-time,
consistently accurate inputs and outputs. As the
network of field devices grows, maintenance
remains constant.
Able to mix and match bus technologies to meet
application requirements. The DeltaV system
makes it easy to configure and activate the devices.
For devices not in the library, users can add devices
and customize signal labeling according to specific
plant standards.
DeviceNet, AS-i bus, Profibus DP, FOUNDATION
fieldbus, HART, and traditional I/O can be easily
intermixed on an I/O card basis on the same DeltaV
controller. The same configuration, diagnostic, and
operator interface techniques are used to configure
the system.
The DeltaV DeviceNet card uses standard
DeviceNet cabling. The interface is based on the
master/slave principle. Sixty-one slaves may run on
a cable.
One DeviceNet segment is supported on a single
interface. Temperature and certification
specifications are the same as other DeltaV I/O.
The DeviceNet transmission technology is easy to
install. The bus structure permits addition and
removal of stations or step-by-step commissioning of
the system without influencing the other stations.
Future expansions have no effect on stations
already in operation.
Transmission speeds between 125 kbit/sec and 500
kbit/sec can be selected. One unique transmission
speed is selected for all devices on the bus when
the system is commissioned.
It should be noted that signals connected to the
controller through the DeviceNet interface are not as
fast as signals that are directly wired to DeltaV
discrete I/O cards.
Although each signal brought into the controller via
DeviceNet counts as a DST, and is handled in the
same manner as directly connected I/O in the
control strategy, the effect of device communication
failure and recovery must be taken into account.
DeviceNet devices may also support diagnostic
information, which is made available in the
Diagnostics explorer, and as such does not
consume a DST. The number of DSTs per
connected device can vary from 4 to several
hundred. A motor starter, for example, may
consume 4 to 5 DSTs, and a remote I/O island will
consume as many DSTs as there are I/O
connections. Performance of the DeviceNet
segment will be a function of the number of devices
connected and the baud rate; typically, an additional
80100mS latency will be introduced rather than
directly connecting the signal.

DeviceNet Slave
A DeviceNet slave is a peripheral device (I/O device,
drive, HMI, valve, etc.) that collects input information
and sends output information to the master. There
are also devices that supply only input or only output
information.
The amount of input and output information depends
on the device type.
Only slave devices that support polling may be used.
The DeltaV DeviceNet card (master) cyclically reads
the input information from the slaves and cyclically
writes the output information to the slaves. In
addition to cyclic user data transmission, DeviceNet
provides powerful functions for diagnostics and
configuration.
EDS Files
A EDS file is used to identify a DeviceNet device.
(master or slave). It contains data making it possible
to have manufacturer-independent configuration
tools. Typical information in an EDS file is vendor
information, device identification, and configuration
and diagnostic parameter information. An EDS file
must be available for every DeviceNet slave. The
DeltaV system uses the information in the EDS file
to set up the communications to the slave device.
The EDS can be imported into the DeltaV system to
add the new slave to the library.

Introduction
Are you looking for an efficient, yet robust, I/O
subsystem? FOUNDATION fieldbus redundant I/O is a
modular subsystem that communicates digitally with
field devices, increases your input/output capacity,
and gives you access to more information about
your process than conventional I/O subsystems.
If you want an efficient, economical, and secure
process control system, use DeltaV FOUNDATION
fieldbus redundant I/O. It greatly enhances device
diagnostics that affect your control strategy and
alerts operators to device malfunctions.
FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O modular design offers
flexibility during installation. Its designed to be
installed in the field, close to your devices.
FOUNDATION fieldbus is equipped with function and
field-wiring protection keys to ensure that the correct
I/O card is always plugged into the corresponding
terminal block. Modularity, protection keys, and
increased input/output capacity make FOUNDATION
fieldbus I/O a smart choice for your process control
system.
Benefits
Increases input/output. Use FOUNDATION fieldbus
I/O instead of Classic I/O to increase information
flow. Take advantage of FOUNDATION fieldbus digital
communications to access additional information
from your smart devices. Get more information over
one wire than over multiple wires with Classic I/O.

Takes advantage of all smart device capabilities.
Increase your ability to communicate with your
devices using DeltaV FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O. Field
device status is updated continuously using
FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O. For multi-variable devices,
all process variables are available on the single
fieldbus connection.
Facilitates multi-drop 16 devices on one port.
Save on wiring expenditures by installing
FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O in the field, close to the
actual field devices.
1
Mounting the controller with
the I/O further reduces your wiring costs by
eliminating the need for long runs of multi-cores.
Multi-dropping up to 16 devices on one port reduces
your wiring expenses substantially. The integrated
design of the FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O can eliminate
the need for marshaling panels. This saves you
even more.
Features secure uninterrupted control. A DeltaV
system offers back-up link active schedule (LAS) to
ensure secure control when upgrading a card or in
the case of card failure. LAS control is automatically
transferred to the backup device when upgrading or
experiencing card failure. Control is automatically
transferred back to the H1 Interface Card when the
system detects a new card. This process requires no
user interaction.
Provides third-party device support. The DeltaV
system provides third-party device support for
devices that have successfully passed rigorous
testing by Emerson Process Management. This
testing ensures reliability and safety and allows you
to benefit from the open fieldbus architecture when
selecting field devices. The tables listing the
supported fieldbus devices follow on page 3.
Autosense of redundancy. DeltaV autosenses
redundant I/O which greatly simplifies the task of
adding redundancy to the system. The redundant
pair of cards are 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

1

operator is given clear notification of a switchover at
the operator display.
Additional Benefits
Increase your process control systems level of
sophistication using FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O. You
are already aware of the increased input/output
capabilities and improved communication with your
smart devices. Now go one step further and use
AMSinside

with your FOUNDATION fieldbus I/Ofrom
the control room. Using AMSinside, access all of
your process information from the FOUNDATION
fieldbus device database to configure, monitor, and
troubleshoot all your smart devices.
Using AMSinside you can access status and
diagnostic data from smart devices and monitor their
performance. Increase product quality and minimize
unplanned downtime with this dynamic application.
Improve the productivity and profitability of your
process control system.
Fieldbus devices not manufactured by Emerson
Process Management divisions are categorized as
third-party devices. The DeltaV system provides
third-party device support for devices that have
successfully passed rigorous testing by Emerson
Process Management and are registered by the
Fieldbus Foundation. This allows you to benefit from
the open fieldbus architecture when selecting field
devices.

The active and standby I/O cards are connected to
the field at the redundant terminal block. When a
fault is detected, the system automatically switches
to the backup I/O card. The reliability rating of the
terminal block is greater than the high reliability of
the I/O cards.
The controller scans each card of a redundant pair.
Incremental controller loading is a function of the
number of redundant cards. In addition the
redundant cards have dedicated communication
between the pair and the backup card monitors the
health of the active card
Configuration of redundancy is not required as the
DeltaV system automatically recognizes the
redundant pair of cards and assigns a device signal
tag (DST) to the channels on the primary card.
Switchover time for redundant I/O is minimal, and
the process will be undisturbed.
An alarm on the integrity error for the primary notifies
the operator of a switchover. The backup card is
also monitored for integrity alarms. Events that can
cause a switchover include.
Hardware failure within the active card.
Communications failure between the active
card and the controller.
Removal of the active card from the carrier.
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, appropri-
ate installation procedures must be followed.
Foundation Fieldbus I/O Redundancy is available in
localized-language versions beginning with version
6.2.
The Redundant FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O subsystem
includes:
H1 card
fieldbus power supply
fieldbus junction block
fieldbus terminator
fieldbus power conditioner.
The I/O card is enclosed in a DeltaV-designed
common form factor that plugs into the I/O interface
carrier. The housing is clearly labeled with the
enclosed I/O card type. Clearly visible LEDs on the
top of the I/O card display the power, error, and
status to the two channels included in the I/O card.

Fieldbus H1 Carrier
The DeltaV Fieldbus H1 Carrier is your field-mounted fieldbus I/O carrier solution.

Q Mixes conventional and fieldbus devices on
same segment
Q Uses DeltaV Classic I/O cards on a fieldbus
segment
Q Reduces wiring costs
Introduction
It is now possible to connect your field-mounted
discrete I/O to your fieldbus segment and take
advantage of the substantial reduction in wiring and
associated costs that are typical of the fieldbus
architecture. The Fieldbus H1 Carrier is programmed
to accept DeltaV Classic I/O discrete signals and
transmit the signals over the fieldbus segment to the
controller. Now you have control in the field or in the
controller for your non-fieldbus devices.
Use the DeltaV Fieldbus H1 Carrier as remote I/O to
bring in 16 signals on one segment, thereby greatly
reducing costs.

Benefits
Mixes conventional and fieldbus devices on
same segment. For signals or measurements not
available on fieldbus, connect your conventional
devices to DeltaV Classic I/O cards in the DeltaV
Smart Carrier and obtain the benefits of the DeltaV
plantweb architecture. The DeltaV system
automatically knows that a new device has been
added to the fieldbus segment and seamlessly
activates the new device.
Uses DeltaV Classic I/O cards on a fieldbus
segment. The Fieldbus H1 Carrier uses DeltaV
Classic I/O cards, the same DeltaV Classic I/O cards
that are used in the rest of your system. This
ensures easy maintenance and reduces inventory.
Currently the Fieldbus H1 Carrier handles one 8-
channel DI card and one 8-channel DO card. Others
will soon follow.
Reduces wiring costs. Take advantage of the

D/A errors
Q Features modular design
Introduction
HART I/O communicates digitally with field devices,
increases your input/output capacity, and gives you
access to more information about your process than
conventional I/O subsystems. It greatly enhances
device diagnostics that affect your control strategy
and alerts operators to device malfunctions.
HART I/O modular design offers unique flexibility
during installation. Its designed to be installed in the
field, close to your devices. Hart I/O is equipped with
function and field wiring protection keys to ensure
that the correct I/O card is always plugged into the
corresponding terminal block. Modularity, protection
keys, and increased input/output capacity make the
HART I/O a smart choice for your process control
system.
Benefits
Accesses multivariable instruments. Reduce
capital and labor costs using HART instead of
Classic I/O by increasing information flow four- to
eight-fold. For example, a Coriolis mass flow meter
can measure mass flow, temperature, density, and
volume flow, but a HART output channel can read
back information such as the actual valve position
without the need for additional wiring. Using Classic
I/O you would need to wire each of these signals
individually,
Takes advantage of smart device capabilities.
Increase your ability to communicate with field
devices using DeltaV HART I/O. Field device status
is updated every three seconds using HART I/O.
You can have complete trust in your signal, knowing
that HART I/O is in constant communication with
your smart devices.
Use the additional HART I/O information from the
devices in a control strategy for trending and
alarming just like signals from Classic I/O.
The HART output card is able to pass advanced
valve diagnostics into an optional software package,
Valvelink, where performance details can be
determined and compared with historical
HART input and output interfaces
plugged into an 8-wide carrier

performance. Early diagnosis of valve problems
allows preventive maintenance as required, rather
than on a scheduled basis.
Increases accuracy by eliminating A/D and D/A
errors. By using the digital signal from the device
you can achieve greater accuracy because the A/D
converter in the I/O card and the D/A converter in
the device are bypassed.
Features modular design. HART I/O was designed
with your investment in mind. All components are
fully modular and may be installed under power. You
add I/O interface carriers and I/O interfaces in
groups of 8 channels, as you need them.
The plug-and-play design, together with the function
and field keys, keeps installation simple and
efficient. When you need to replace an I/O card, the
function key design ensures that you will always
install it correctly.
Your wiring costs will decrease substantially
because HART I/O can be installed in the field, close
to the actual field devices. Remote mounting the
controller with the I/O further reduces your wiring
expenditures by eliminating the need for long runs of
multi-cores. The integrated design of the HART I/O
can eliminate the need for marshaling panels. This
saves you even more.
Additional Benefits
Increase your process control systems level of
sophistication using HART I/O. Youre already aware
of the increased input/output capabilities and
improved communication with your smart devices.
Now go one step further and use AMS with your
HART I/O. AMS software allows you to configure,
calibrate, diagnose, and troubleshoot your smart
field devices from the control room using AMS with
HART I/O. See the AMSinside HART product data
sheet for more information.

The DeltaV system provides the capability to
interface with HART devices. The HART information
is communicated digitally and is very helpful for
device diagnostics. This information can be used in
the DeltaV system to affect control strategy or to
alert operators to a transmitter malfunction. AMS
software gives you access to additional capabilities,
such as managing the device calibration, advanced

I/O card initialization. When an AI-HART card is
plugged in, it assumes that all channels are only
analog. When you configure the card, you can set
the channel to HART analog input or output. The
card tests for an open circuit. If no open circuit is
detected, the card sends out HART command 0
followed by command 59.
Controller function block channel initialization.
The DeltaV controller performs HART channel
initialization. As soon as the controller is notified that
an AI-HART card configuration is complete, it sends
a command to each HART channel.
If an AI function block is linked to a HART channel
field value parameter, it sends scaling information
the first time it executes to the HART instrument for
its analog output signal. At this time, the HART
instrument sets a bit saying that it has changed its
configuration to the new values. The controller
sends a HART command to read the range and
units information. Another command clears the
change flag in the instrument.
Other scenarios that affect link initialization are:
Connecting a hand-held device to a field
instrument to change its scale values. The
controller detects this change in the instrument
and sends a command to read the new
values.
Changing values in an AI function block during
loop tuning. These changes are sent to the
HART instrument.
Specifying high-level precision range values,
but with some HART instruments they are
unable to suppport that precision. The
controller sends a command to detect the
actual range value the instrument is using.
The DeltaV system also offers Classic I/O for
communicating with non-smart field devices and for
discrete I/O. Please refer to the Classic I/O product
data sheet for detailed information.

subsystem was designed to optimize your
automation investment. All components are fully
modular and installable under power. You add I/O
interface carriers and I/O interfaces in groups of 8
channels, as you need them. The modular design
enables you to buy the exact amount of I/O cards
and power/controllers that you need. Add more
DeltaV I/O as your system grows.
Reduces system footprint. The state-of-the-art
form factor design of the DeltaV I/O components
enables you to mount the I/O interface carrier in a
junction box in the field. You significantly reduce the
footprint of your equipment and free up valuable
control room space for other uses.
Decreases installation time and expense. Save
on wiring expenses by installing I.S. I/O in the field,
close to the actual field devices. Mounting the
controller with the I/O further reduces your wiring
expenditures by eliminating the need for long runs of
multi-cores. The integrated design of the I/O
subsystem can eliminate the need for marshaling
panels. This saves you even more.

The DeltaV Controller and the DeltaV I/O subsystem make rapid installation easy.
Q Easy-to-use
Q Has the flexibility to meet your needs
Introduction
MD 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
Controller provides all the features and functions of the
M5 Plus Controller, with plenty of memory for large
batch and other memory-intensive applications.
Note: The MD Controller is required for using all the
new features in v6.x and v7.x releases, such as
Redundant I/O, Device Alerts, DeviceNet, DeltaV
Interface for PROVOX I/O, DeltaV Interface for RS3
I/O, Model Predictive Control etc.
The control languages executed in the controllers are
described in the Control Software product data sheet.
Benefits
Increases productivity
Faster. The MD Controller is more than 400% faster
than the M5 Plus Controller--and has a 10x
communication speed increase to 100MB/second. The
results are lower CPU utilization and higher capacity
for control strategies.
The MD controller is recommended for Batch, SOE,
and advanced control applications.
Self-addressing. The 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 addressno dip
switches, no configuringjust plug and play!
Self-locating. A controllers 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
configurationeasy!
MD Controller
TM
Product Data Sheet
November 2003Page 2

Easy to use
Total control. The controller manages all control
activities for the I/O interface channels. It also
manages all communication functions for the
communications network. Time tamping, alarming, and
trend objects are also managed within the controller.
The controller executes your control strategy.
Information from an input channel is received, control
strategy applied, and data sent to an output channel
within 100 ms.
Data protection. Each time you install data in a
DeltaV controller, the installation information is
automatically saved. Likewise, when users make
online configuration changes to a controller, the
system stores these changes as well. This way, the
system always retains a complete record of all the
data that has been installed in the controller and any
online changes that have been made.

Cold restart. This feature ensures that in case of
power failure, the controller will restart without manual
intervention and without any other device present on
the network. Now, you dont have to reboot from the
workstation. Simply set the restart state of the
controller to current conditions.

The MD Controller.
Note: To prevent process disruption during a short
power loss, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is
available for the controller.
Has the flexibility to meet your needs
Advanced operations. The MD Controller is
equipped to handle the DeltaV Batch option, as well as
Advanced Control functions.
For memory-intensive applications such as Batch, you
can create complex control schemes without the risk
of running out of memory. This option is recommended
for users performing a lot of supervisory or batch
control layered over process control.
You can also use advanced control function such as
Neural and Model Predictive Control on the MD
controller.
Data passthrough. The controller is equipped with
the ability to pass smart HART
information from field

devices to any workstation node in the control
network. This means you can take advantage of
applications, such as Asset Management Solutions,
that enable you to remotely manage the HART
information contained in your HART or FOUNDATION
fieldbus-equipped devices.
Prepares you for the future. As your system grows,
you can expand your software license to increase the
number of device signal tags (DSTs) allocated to the
DeltaV controller. Begin with 50 and expand to 750
DSTs. Control strategy complexity and control module
scan rates determine overall controller performance
and application size. A redundant controller may be
added to back up an MD Controller online. The
standby controller comes online automatically, with a
bumpless transition. For more information, refer to the
I/O Redundancy product data sheet.
Mounting. This plug-and-play system structure
provides modular system growth with a single
controller and can be mounted in a Class 1, Div 2 or
ATEX Zone II environment.

Introduction
Are you looking for a control system that allows you to
use standard control languages and functions? Do you
want to use different control languages that are
appropriate for the control task within the same
strategy? Do you want a control system that permits
you to design where and how you perform monitoring
and control, rather than forcing you to fit within the
constraints of a fixed architecture? A DeltaV system

gives you all this and more. Choose from IEC61131-3
control languages and FOUNDATION Fieldbus function
blocks to design your monitoring and control
strategies.
Need to consolidate your PLC, legacy systems, and
gauging systems into a single operator interface?
OPC may be used to tear down the barriers between
your legacy control systems and your DeltaV system.
The DeltaV system provides you with a real-time
database where you can store third-party data for use
anywhere within the DeltaV system. You can display,
trend, alarm and even use it in control strategies.
Whats more, you choose the location that is best for
integrating the data into the DeltaV system, the
workstation or the controller.
This document details the monitoring and control
functions supported by a DeltaV system. These
functions can run on DeltaV Application Stations and
controllers and many of the function blocks may be
assigned to run within FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.
Benefits
Uses IEC61131-3 control languages. A DeltaV
system supports three languages, so you can always
use the tools most appropriate for the job. Function
Block Diagrams (FBD), Sequential Function Charts
(SFC), and Structured Text (ST) are all available,
making control strategy development both intuitive and
easy.
TM
Product Data Sheet
February 2006Page 2

Built-in FOUNDATION fieldbus functionality. These
function blocks are used throughout the DeltaV
system. Control strategies are developed, using these
standards-based blocks that minimize development
time and maximize the systems performance. Many
functions (like override control, tracking, and state
control) are built into these powerful blocks. Plus, with
Fieldbus, you get decreased wiring costs and
improved instrument diagnostics.
Control in the field, controller, or both. Design
control strategies to meet your application
requirements. Then decide where each block
executes: in the controller, in the field devices, or both.
Scalable software meets any needs. As your needs
grow, your DeltaV system is ready to expand with you.
Additional capacity and even additional control
functionality can be added online while you continue to
control your process. Your entire configuration
remains intact; you simply add to existing control
strategies with the newly available functions or
configure new control modules to take advantage of
higher capacity.
Integrates multi-vendor data. Bring data into your
DeltaV system for control, display, and historical
purposes. When executing in the controller, the
monitoring software uses Classic I/O, HART,
FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS DP, AS-i bus,
DeviceNet and serial interfaces to access data.
Running in workstations, OPC technology provides
Data Acquisition control software with fast connections
and data transfers to and from any system.
Performs calculations on data from external
sources. Now you can put the data from an existing
system to work for you in the DeltaV system. All
DeltaV applications can access and use the external
data as if it were native DeltaV data. And because you
can execute function blocks directly in the workstation,
you can really put this external data to work for you.
Features protecting and hiding of control
strategies. Access to library items like module
templates and class definitions can be restricted by to
enforce project standards. The internal structure of
modules can be hidden to protect intellectual property.
Features class-based configuration. Build module
class definitions for commonly used control (e.g.
motors, valves) and equipment (e.g. valve header)
modules. All modules that are created from a definition
inherit changes that are made to the definition.
Features advanced unit management (AUM). Use
powerful DeltaV unit modules and aliasing to write
generic logic in control and equipment modules. This
will simplify configuration management where there
are similar equipment units or trains. Refer to the
Advanced Unit Management product data sheet for
further details.
Features advanced control. Use DeltaV Fuzzy to
improve performance of non-linear or noisy loops. The
optional DeltaV Tune makes adjusting the Fuzzy rules
and PID parameters a snap. Simply run the tuning
wizard and your loop is optimized. For more
demanding process control requirements, you can use
Model Predictive Control or DeltaV Neural. Refer to
the Advanced Control product data sheets for details.
DeltaV Monitoring and Control Software uses standard
IEC61131-3 control languages, as well as FOUNDATION
Fieldbus function blocks to support strategy
development. These strategies may be graphically
assembled and modified using standard drag-and-
drop techniques. Strategy development is visually
intuitive, making it easy for first-time users to quickly
become productive. Context-sensitive, online help is
available for all functions. The IEC61131-3 control
languages include Function Block Diagramming
(FBD), Sequential Function Charts (SFC), and
Structured Text (ST). Typical uses of each language
are listed on page 3.

Function Block Diagrams
Your DeltaV system uses Function Block Diagrams to
implement continuously executing calculations,
process monitoring, and control strategies. Graphical
wires are used to connect the different blocks within
a diagram. Each wire transfers one or more pieces of
data. All communications throughout the DeltaV
system are handled automatically. DeltaV function
blocks are implemented using the structure specified
by the FOUNDATION Fieldbus standard, but they are
also enhanced to provide greater flexibility in control
strategy design. FOUNDATION Fieldbus-compliant
Function Blocks enable you to take advantage of
control in the field. You design control strategies that
best meet your control application requirements. Then,
decide whether the function blocks controlling the
process run in the controller, field devices, or both.
Sequential Function Charts
This language enables you to configure operator-
independent time-variant actions. SFCs are best at
controlling strategies with multiple states. They can be
used for sequencing and simple batch applications.

An SFC comprises a series of steps and transitions.
Each step contains a set of actions that affect the
process. Transitions determine when processing
moves on to the next step(s). Both single-stream and
parallel execution of logic is supported within SFCs.
Structured Text
With structured text you can write sophisticated
calculations using a wide array of algebraic and
trigonometric functions and operators. In addition, you
can build complex logic expressions using condtional
and iterative structures.
Data Acquisition
Display, trend, alarm, and use third-party data as if it
were native DeltaV data. Now you can put the data
from an existing system to work for you in a DeltaV
system. All DeltaV applications can access and use
the external data as if it were native DeltaV data. The
data can be used on any DeltaV workstation. It can
also be integrated into control strategies, consolidated
into reports, historized, and much more. Whether your
application uses the workstations OPC server or the
controllers I/O subsystemonce accessed, the real-
time database makes the data immediately available
throughout the DeltaV system. In runtime, the
exception reporting mechanism moves the data to the
appropriate system application. The global
configuration database makes management and use
of this data easy.

DeItaV Power SuppIies

The DeltaV power supplies are modular, easy to install, and secure.
Easy to use
Flexible and cost-effective
Secure
Introduction
Poweryour system wont operate without it. DeltaV
power supplies offer you the most efficient and
reliable power solution for your money.
The DeltaV power supply suite provides power to the
system electronics and to the field. This is all the
power required for your DeltaV system.
Benefits
Easy to use. The system power supplies are plug-
and-play components. They fit into either position on
the 2-wide power/controller carrier. This carrier
contains internal power buses, eliminating the need
for external cabling to connect the system power
supply to the DeltaV controller and I/O interfaces. The
carrier mounts easily onto a T-type DIN raileasy!
Flexible and cost-effective. The DeltaV power
supply suite is modular. Add power to the field,
controller and I/O subsystems as you need it. The
power supplies load-sharing capabilities enable you
to add more power or provide power redundancy to
your system.
TM
Product Data Sheet
August 2005 Page 2

Secure. Your I/O is always accurate because the I/O
subsystem and controller always receive a consistent
and accurate 12- or 5-VDC power supply. The power
supplies are compliant with EMC and CSA standards;
there is immediate notification of power failure; and
system and field power provisions are completely
isolated.
Two DeltaV system power supplies are available for
use in your plant: the 115/220 VAC AC to DC system
power supply and the 12/24VDC system power
supply.
Plug-and play components. The system power
supply components fit into either position on the 2-
wide power/controller carrier. This interchangeability
means you can expand or replace power
components. Just pull out one power supply
component and snap in the other.

Rail mounted. Power supply installation is simple.
Mount the 2-wide power/controller carrier into place
on a T-type DIN rail. Then plug the system power
supplies into the carrier.
Internal power bus. The 2-wide power/controller
carrier contains internal power buses. You dont need
to use external cabling to connect the system power
supply to the DeltaV controller and the I/O interface
carriers.
Modular power. You know your power requirements
today, but what about the future? Lay a solid
foundation now and build on it later. A modular power
structure allows you to simply snap on additional
power to the field, controller, and I/O subsystems.
You can add 2-wide power/controller carriers as you
need them and install additional system power
supplies.

details.

Accurate output. The system power supplies accept
a wide range of power inputs and translate the inputs
into accurate power output.
Field power distribution to I/O interfaces. If
multiple I/O modules in the same I/O subsystem need
the same VDC to the field, you can wire the I/O
modules together, creating a single power connection
to the I/O interface carrier.
Power redundancy. DeltaV system power supplies
can be redundant at 1-to-N versus 1-to-1 in other
systems. This provides an economical solution to
creating system redundancy.
No power overload. Distribution prevents power
overloading on the I/O and 2-wide power/controller
carriers. No more than 8 A can be carried on the
backplane to the controller and the I/O subsystem.
Standard compliance. The power supplies are
compliant with EMC and CSA standards. Their design
meets the new European power factor correction
standards.
No power degradation. The power supplies provide
consistent power to the system and the field devices.
No de-rating to the power supplies occurs when the
temperature is within defined specifications.
Immediate notification of power failure. Internal
relay outputs change status and alert the user if the
incoming voltage fails or if the system power supply
fails. Also, the LED on the power supply housing
displays the power status.
System and field power isolation. The system and
field power provisions are completely isolated. For
example, if the Bulk AC to 24 VDC power supply
providing power to the field fails, the system power
supply (AC/DC) is unaffected.
Power supply removal. You dont need to unscrew
connections to remove the system power supplies.
Simply unplug the connectors.

Power CaIcuIations
System Power Supplies
One AC/DC system power supply is sufficient for
many small DeltaV installations. The power supply
provides 1.25 A. This is enough for:
8 discrete I/O cards
8 analog I/O cards
4 serial I/O cards
4 Series 2 H1 cards
One 12/24-volt system power supply is required for
medium to large DeltaV installations. A second
power supply would be required to provide
redundancy.

Using Multiple Bulk Power Supplies
The DIN rail mounted bulk AC to 24 VDC and bulk AC to 12 VDC power supplies can be used in systems
requiring load sharing as well as redundancy. The DIN rail-mounted bulk power supplies have an integrated OR-
ing diode. If the DIN rail-mounted bulk power supply is used in a system that requires redundancy or load sharing,
connect the SHARE terminals on the top of the power supplies as shown in the installation manual.

Serial Interface Series 2
February 2006Page 1


The DeltaV Serial Interface provides a connection between the DeltaV system and other devices..
Q Provides seamless information interface
Q Plug-and-play easy to use
Q Extends the life of existing equipment
Introduction
The Serial Interface provides a connection between
the DeltaV system and devices that support a serial
protocol, such as Modbus or Allen Bradleys Data
Highway Plus.
The Serial Interface is supplied with Modbus
software drivers pre-loaded. Plug your Serial
Interface into any available slot in the I/O interface
carrier, connect the third-party device, power up and
play. Like all DeltaV I/O, the Serial Interface may be
added online while the rest of the controller I/O is
powered up and in use.

Serial Interface

Product Data Sheet
February 2006Page 2

Plug-and-play easy to use. Plug-and-play
installation saves money. The Serial Interface works
just like other DeltaV I/O interfaces. It fits into any
available slot on the controller I/O carrier. There are
no dipswitches. Just plug it in!
The DeltaV controller auto-senses the Serial
Interface and presents the configuration options.
Online help makes this interface a snap to configure.
After a simple point-and-click configuration exercise,
your integrated solution is up and running.
Extends the life of existing equipment. Enhance
existing capabilitiesdon't replace them. Many
plants have a variety of devices already installed.
With the Serial Interface you are able to effectively
interface a DeltaV system with existing PLCs or
other serial devices. This means that you can layer
the state-of-the-art process control offered by a
DeltaV system on to the devices you already have in
place.
The Serial Interface consists of a serial card
(KJ3003X1-BA1) and a terminal block. The card
contains two serial communications ports that
support RS232 and RS422/485 half duplex, or
RS422/485 full duplex signals. These ports are
individually configurable and support data rates up
to 115 KBaud.
The card has the common DeltaV form factor,
allowing it to be plugged into any available slot in the
I/O interface carrier. The card is clearly labeled with
the interface type. LEDs, located on the front of the
card, show the power, error, and port status of the
interface at a glance.
The standard Modbus protocol includes the Serial
Interface, the Modbus RTU, and ASCII
communications protocol as defined in the Modicon
Modbus Protocol Reference Manual dated March
1992 (PI-MBUS-300 REV D). Each Serial Interface
port may be configured as either a master or slave
device.
The serial card supports the following features using
the Modbus protocol:
Reading input data from Modbus coils, input
status, holding registers and normal input
registers.
Writing output data to coils and holding
registers.
Output data can be written in single coil, register
mode, or complete data set mode. This output
mode is a configurable parameter.
Input data can be read in as a complete data
set, providing the best performance.
The serial card supports the input and/or output of
16 different data sets per serial port, for a total of 32
data sets per Serial Interface.
When data values come into the DeltaV system
through a serial card, each data set that lands on
one module counts as one DST. Each data set can
hold up to 100 data values. Therefore, if you have
100 data values in a data set that comes in on one
module, it counts as only one DST. If you have the
same 100 values in a data set that comes into six
modules, you will have six DSTs. In both cases, you
can alarm and control any of the 100 values and the
DST count will remain the same. The maximum
number of DSTs supported per card in the DeltaV
Serial Interface is 500.
Both Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII
communications modes are supported by standard
Modbus protocol.

Line Fault Detection
The I.S. discrete output high-side channels have line fault detection that can be enabled on a channel-by-channel
basis as a configuration item. When line fault detection is enabled, the card detects open and short line fault
conditions by performing an internal readback of the output to verify its value in both on and off states. The card
tests the opposite state of its current value by temporarily changing the output to that value, performing the
internal readback, then returning the output to its configured output value. The pulses to the opposite state are
never greater than 400 Sec. High-speed inputs that connect to a discrete output channel with line fault enabled
must consider these pulses in the input software scheme.

Note: Total cable capacitance of less than 30nF is acceptable. Line fault detection does not work with large
inductive or capacitive loads and must be disabled under these conditions.
