Emerson PMCSPAN16E-002 Primary PCI expansion

Product Description

FOUNDATION™ fieldbus 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. 

It greatly enhances device diagnostics that affect your control strategy and alerts operators to device malfunctions. 

If you want an efficient, economical, and secure process control system, use DeltaV™ FOUNDATION fieldbus I/O.

Company Portfolio

Industry leaders are looking to Emerson as a trusted partner that continuously innovates to help them meet the next big challenge. 

Our robust automation portfolio enables us to collaborate across our businesses to develop more complete solutions

for customers based on our deep industry experience. 

We leverage our global presence, domain expertise and industrial software to help industries achieve key sustainability and operational goals.

Maximize smart device capabilities. Increase your quality and throughput by taking advantage of the added diagnostics

of FOUNDATION Fieldbus I/O devices. Field device status is updated continuously using FOUNDATION Fieldbus I/O.

For multi-variable devices, all process variables are available on the single fieldbus at the cost of a single Device Signal Tag.

Redundant H1 cards provide increased availability.

The DeltaV system offers redundant H1 interfaces. The two H1

interfaces are connected with a redundant terminal block to

provide back-up link active schedule (LAS) capability that also

maintains communication with the host system. 

Transfer to the standby card is automatic and requires no special configuration.

Ongoing diagnostics ensure the standby H1 card is available on demand. 

This process requires no user interaction.

The FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 interface is packaged in a small form factor enclosure and installs on any I/O slot of the S-series horizontal carriers. 

The interface uses a separate terminal block to which the segment wires are connected. 

A single interface is used with the 1 wide terminal block in a simplex installation. 

Two H1 interfaces can be mounted in adjacent slots using the 2-wide redundant terminal block. 

The DeltaV controller recognizes the presence of redundancy and presents both cards as a single pair within the system. 

There is no additional user configuration required to set up the redundant H1 hosts. 

Segment Power is provided using third party Ff power supplies that also provide segment physical layer diagnostics. 

The H1 interface segment wires connect to these power conditions while a separate segment trunk wire connects to the field devices
